Talk:Heathrow Terminal 5

Untitled
I've added a little bit about the big snafu when the building opened, but the article remains rather hagiographical. Has the text been lifted off some PR site?

I'm sure there was a big planning controversy. (If there wasn't the fact that there wasn't would be notable.)

Also need to get a bit more precise about dates. I think the opening and the big baggage fiasco happened in March 2008.

Well, who's going to do some properly-sourced research on all this? (hopefully you will! http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/7317352.stm)

I'm wondering if there is a need for a Criticism section. I've recently traveled through Terminal 5 a couple of times, and found it to be even worse than previous Heathrow terminals (excessive walking, high-end stores instead of fastfood restaurants and travel shops, extremely poorly designed security check area with year-long queues, misleading signs, etc.) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.132.149.210 (talk) 15:10, 10 October 2008 (UTC)
 * I'll add to that practically nowhere to sit down until you go through security, which not everyone wants to do as soon as they arrive. Especially us smokers.  I'm sure all that empty space makes architects drool, but it just makes me cross. Mr Larrington (talk) 15:56, 18 November 2010 (UTC)

Does Wikipedia have a policy regarding the use of British to mean "of the UK". The first sentence includes the text "serving the British capital city of London". London is the capital of England and of the UK (as per the first line of London), but not of Britain since Britain is not a country. On the other hand there is no easy adjective meaning "of the UK", but "serving the UK capital city of London" reads OK to me. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.171.50.12 (talk) 07:52, 5 January 2013 (UTC)

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 necessarily 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:

✅ This issue has been resolved, and I have therefore removed the tag, if not already done. No further action is necessary.— cyberbot II NotifyOnline 21:33, 9 April 2014 (UTC)

How many buildings?
There's a photo, titled "Terminal 5 Exterior", that appears to be a single structure. Then, under Site/Overview, "The Terminal 5 building...", so here Terminal 5 still seems to be just one structure.

Then later, under Buildings, we learn the Terminal 5 complex includes several buildings: the main terminal, 5A, and two satellite buildings, 5B and 5C. 5A is said to be the largest, and a lot of statistics regarding its size are there, but less about 5B and precious little about 5C. Should the image referred to above be "T5A Exterior"?

I came here to find out more about the amazing building I found myself in, but I leave more confused than when I arrived. Captain Puget (talk) 04:23, 2 June 2017 (UTC)
