Blacklisted Links Found on the Main Page

Cyberbot II has detected that page contains external links that have either been globally or locally blacklisted. Links tend to be blacklisted because they have a history of being spammed, or are highly innappropriate for Wikipedia. This, however, doesn't necessaryily mean it's spam, or not a good link. If the link is a good link, you may wish to request whitelisting by going to the request page for whitelisting. If you feel the link being caught by the blacklist is a false positive, or no longer needed on the blacklist, you may request the regex be removed or altered at the blacklist request page. If the link is blacklisted globally and you feel the above applies you may request to whitelist it using the before mentioned request page, or request its removal, or alteration, at the request page on meta. When requesting whitelisting, be sure to supply the link to be whitelisted and wrap the link in nowiki tags. The whitelisting process can take its time so once a request has been filled out, you may set the invisible parameter on the tag to true. Please be aware that the bot will replace removed tags, and will remove misplaced tags regularly.

Below is a list of links that were found on the main page:

  Triggered by \bhotelmanagement-network\.com\b on the local blacklist

• http://www.designbuild-network.com/projects/burj/

  Triggered by \bdesignbuild-network\.com\b on the local blacklist

If you would like me to provide more information on the talk page, contact User:Cyberpower678 and ask him to program me with more info.

From your friendly hard working bot.—cyberbot II ^Notify_Online 13:19, 3 April 2014 (UTC)

 Resolved This issue has been resolved, and I have therefore removed the tag, if not already done. No further action is necessary.—cyberbot II ^Notify_Online 19:53, 9 April 2014 (UTC)

Pinnacle Height of a building

This building is the tallest in the world since end of 2009, and with the antenna spire or roof is 2,717 feet (or 2,722 feet if updated). --Allen ^Talk 17:54, 15 June 2014 (UTC)

Yes, that is what is already says in the article. Do you have a question? Astronaut (talk) 09:38, 21 June 2014 (UTC)

No questions, what I know this building is the tallest one. --AllenHAcNguyen (talk) 15:19, 21 June 2014 (UTC)

File:Burj Khalifa.jpg to appear as POTD

Hello! This is a note to let the editors of this article know that File:Burj Khalifa.jpg will be appearing as picture of the day on November 12, 2014. You can view and edit the POTD blurb at Template:POTD/2014-11-12. If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the Main Page. Thanks! — Crisco 1492 (talk) 04:29, 23 October 2014 (UTC)

Picture of the day

Burj Khalifa is a skyscraper in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, and currently the tallest man-made structure in the world, at 829.8 m (2,722 ft). It was designed to be the centerpiece of a large-scale, mixed-use development known as Downtown Dubai. Construction took over five years, and the skyscraper was officially opened in January 2010.Photograph: Donald Y Tong

Occupation

Occupation could be an interesting section to ad in this article, particularly because it is not clear whether there are or not tenants in the majority of its floors.

Indeed this would be a good section for all skyscrapers, lets keep in mind that The Shard in London for instance is almost empty since completion. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.244.11.51 (talk) 15:18, 12 November 2014‎

There could be some merit in this idea if reliable sources could be found. Unfortunately, some building management companies might consider this commercially sensitive information; sources could be hard to come by. Astronaut (talk) 15:27, 15 November 2014 (UTC)

Observation deck

Please note that since the recent opening of the higher observation deck at 555m in November 2014, Burj Khalifa now holds this record again. Links and references can be found on the highest observation deck page on wikipedia itself. Whoever has the ability to update - please do.

 Done Please note that you should sign your posts by typing four tildes as indicated at the top of this page. I have updated the article and found some reasonable references (the other article doesn't point to anything useful, so I will go fix that next). Hopefully I have gotten the details correct. The highest observation deck doesn't seem to have ever appeared in the "Records" table at the bottom of the article, so I left that alone for now.Don Lammers (talk) 04:22, 7 December 2014 (UTC)

See also

I don't see the point of adding every tall building to the "See also" section. That's what the lists are for. If we continue down this path, the section will be just like the lists, except harder to keep current. Kendall-K1 (talk) 14:30, 25 January 2015 (UTC)

I agree. Perhaps local buildings and the one that it took the record from.--88.104.132.120 (talk) 23:02, 9 April 2015 (UTC)

I also agree--88.104.133.87 (talk) 16:29, 11 April 2015 (UTC)

I agree too--88.104.138.119 (talk) 19:17, 17 April 2015 (UTC)
