The Leonardo might never have been the tallest building in Africa
I'm not sure if this is the correct procedure, but I'm reposting this from Talk:List of tallest buildings in Johannesburg since it seems more relevant to this talk page:
 * It turns out the second tallest building in Africa is a skyscraper that doubles as the minaret of the Djamaa el Djazaïr (or Great Mosque of Algiers), which was completed in 2019, the same year as The Leonardo, and which is substantially taller than it. According to this sublink of the source used in List of tallest buildings in Africa, it is occupied (by office space and a museum), making it a building rather than just a structure, and its architectural height is the same as its structural height (in both cases 264,3 m; architectural height is used to compare the heights of skyscrapers).


 * I can't figure out when in 2019 each building was completed, but it's possible The Leonardo was actually only ever the second tallest building on the continent. ENEvery (talk) 20:19, 9 October 2023 (UTC) (reposted)


 * So upon further investigation: in the text of this article it states that The Leonardo was completed "by mid April 2019", while in the infobox of the Djamaa el Djazaïr article it states that project was completed on 29 April 2019. It therefore seems The Leonardo was only the tallest building on the continent for more or less two weeks, though I would want decent sources for this before making the sweeping changes across numerous articles that this new information seems to necessitate. A more precise date for The Leonardo's completion would be helpful. ENEvery (talk) 20:36, 9 October 2023 (UTC)
