A fact from Sussex Heights appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 7 July 2010 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:

Did you know... that Sussex Heights, Brighton's tallest building, has a resident breeding pair of peregrine falcons with their own webcam?

A record of the entry may be seen at Wikipedia:Recent additions/2010/July.

Note for info[edit]

Some content from the lead and "Description" paragraphs appears to have been reproduced at the recently revamped official website of Sussex Heights (not the other way round). Hassocks5489 (tickets please!) 23:49, 1 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Lead paragraph is not all that encyclopedic[edit]

In particular, it says "acknowledged as an "imposing and prestigious" luxury apartment block with good facilities". What does this even mean? There is no obvious source for these words, "acknowledged" by whom exactly? This sounds like something an estate agent might come up with. Wikipedia is not the place for this.

Also, it reads "as of March 2013 the 48th tallest building in the UK". Is this trivia of any real use to anyone, and why put this in the lead paragraph? It's just not significant. Danrok (talk) 01:44, 27 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

"Imposing and prestigious" is covered by reference [8] and is repeated in the Architecture section; likewise with "luxury tower block" etc. in the Description section. Per WP:LEAD conventions (as I have always understood them to be, anyway), I have not duplicated the references to these quotes in the lead.
