Talk:22 Bishopsgate

Height

Recently it's proposed height was scaled down, meaning that it will be shorter than the Shard London Bridge, the article needs to be changed to reflect this, but I'm afraid I don't know the exact figures. Jamandell (d69) 11:59, 21 January 2006 (UTC)

I have permission from Union Investments to use an official rendering, but I don't know what image tags/information to use for uploading. Wikipedia seems to delete anything I attempt to upload... Wjfox2005 16:47, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

Will - someone may be deleting your images in preference of his "own" renderings. Chap in question is a known nuisance around here and we're working on a way to deal with him.

I work for the company that rendered this image, www.cityscape3d.com there are copyright issues with this image that i'm persuing within the company, however we should at least be referenced directly on the file attributes, not just through skyscrapernews.com Alastair 10:14, 25th July 2007

Survey

Feel free to state your position on the renaming proposal by beginning a new line in this section with *'''Support''' or *'''Oppose''', then sign your comment with ~~~~. Since polling is not a substitute for discussion, please explain your reasons, taking into account Wikipedia's naming conventions.

• Support - as per nomination. --StuffOfInterest (talk) 14:54, 21 December 2007 (UTC)
• Oppose the name is likely to change and names need standardising accross all building articles relating to skyscrapers in the uk. The postal address seems the most logical way of standardising names as it is not going to change over time.--Lucy-marie (talk) 20:11, 21 December 2007 (UTC)
• Support. Common name should be used unless a case for using systematic names over common names for buildings of this type is made and agreed. Andrewa (talk) 00:46, 22 December 2007 (UTC)
• Support. As per nom. --203.220.171.83 (talk) 11:37, 25 December 2007 (UTC)
• Support. See my comments on the Tower 42 and Shard London Bridge talk pages. Wjfox2005 (talk) 21:59, 29 December 2007 (UTC)
• Support per nom. Rai-me 16:58, 30 December 2007 (UTC)

Done. Theresa Knott | The otter sank 17:28, 30 December 2007 (UTC)

Discussion

Any additional comments:

See User talk:Andrewa/systematic names for some discussion on when and whether systematic names should take precedence over common names. This is another case in point. Andrewa (talk) 21:18, 22 December 2007 (UTC)

On Hold

I know "indefinitely on hold" is usually a stealth cancellation, but if the reason that the building's on hold is to make more space for offices in a redesign, then doesn't that mean its probably getting bigger rather than smaller? Also, Arab development firms aren't known for their restraint, the Burj Khalifa went bankrupt twice, got put on hold three times, and was eventually paid off by the sheikh himself with a loan from Saudi Arabia! I wouldn't be surprised if the same thing happens to this building, and it not only gets done anyway but gets done even bigger, maybe even higher than the shard. --70.106.148.11 (talk) 04:55, 19 August 2014 (UTC)

Banana bread

I added a citation needed tag.

It says: "Whilst there have been token efforts made to improve sustainability, such as baking banana bread[...]".

Absent any citation or context, this looks like vandalism; the building is not a bakery, and it seems unlikely that baking banana bread is a solution to ESG problems. Accordingly, if a citation or other improvement to this section hasn't appeared within a few days, I'm going to delete it. MrDemeanour (talk) 13:13, 21 July 2023 (UTC)

Not vandalism, I think, but probably undue. The building's LinkedIn feed has

Indulge yourself or delight someone special with a scrumptious loaf of #bananabread available at The Market.

In an effort to minimise waste, The Market team offers to transform your four overripe bananas into a delectable bread loaf for just £3, as we strongly believe 'Waste is Bananas'. The freshly baked loaf will be ready for pick up the next day.

Occupiers can also participate in The Market's Banana Bread Classes for just £5 when you bring your own bananas. Next one is on April 24th so make sure to sign up.

Thanks. I took it out. MrDemeanour (talk) 18:25, 23 July 2023 (UTC)
