Talk:World's littlest skyscraper

Possibly an urban legend
This article seems to be 80% urban legend. The problem is the article's highly referenced, but all those references might be wrong. See the claim here... quazen.com/arts/architecture/the-worlds-smallest-man-made-structures/ --203.122.192.201 (talk) 03:02, 14 October 2010 (UTC)


 * Thanks for your comments. I admit that some of the claims about the McMahon Building are difficult to believe, and solid evidence is scarce or lacking in some cases. For example, it would certainly be nice to see an image file of the original blueprints, or a record of the legal proceedings that reportedly took place in 1919. However, every assertion made in the article meets the Wikipedia criteria for verifiability, and is based on reliable published sources. We must bear in mind that: ""The threshold for inclusion in Wikipedia is verifiability, not truth—whether readers can check that material in Wikipedia has already been published by a reliable source, not whether editors think it is true.""


 * I have spent a lot of time searching for any documents or other evidence that will either support or refute these bizarre assertions, and will continue to do so, but thus far I have come up empty-handed. Assertions with respect to the history of this building are welcome and encouraged from any editor, but they must come from reliable sources. Unfortunately, I don't believe "quazen.com" meets the definition of a reliable source. DiverDave (talk) 02:51, 20 October 2010 (UTC)

Images
The images don't seem to be relevant. Could they be removed? Metao (talk) 03:36, 14 October 2010 (UTC)

 * I changed it to convert since the previous setup was inaccurate. Epicgenius (talk) 20:06, 9 May 2014 (UTC)
