Wikipedia talk:Today's featured article/February 20, 2008

A tower is an intrinsic part of the structure of a building. It is not merely part of the facade. Maybe ... dominating the building's appearance?

Shop in UK English invariably means a place for purchases: a store in US parlance. Would workshop bridge the divide?

A building was damaged by fire: fact. That fire was disastrous is a value statement (unless there were deaths: otherwise some people might have considered the building a "monstorous carbuncle").

The TFA segment does not allow for citations, therefore I do not believe that quotations are appropriate; could we finish with simply benefactor Lettie Pate Whitehead Evans." ? Kevin McE (talk) 09:34, 13 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I beloieve that all of the comments that I have made here to be valid criticisms of the article summary, of the kind that would be expaected in a peer review or FA discussion. Why is it deemed suitable to simply ignore editor's constructive criticisms in attempts to improve the main page of Wikipedia with neither counter-argument, acknowledgement or rebuttal?

I'm equally puzzled. MaxVeers (talk) 07:37, 20 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Great to see this article will be on the main page. I have a few comments regarding terminology that I've seen used on the Georgia Tech campus and in relevant publications.

The building is always referred to as "Tech Tower" (no "the") rather than "the Tech Tower" on Georgia Tech's campus. Cf. Big Ben.
Regarding the above comment: "shop" refers to "the Old Shop (Building)". This seems to be the official, or at least most common, name for the building (e.g. [1]).
