@Another Believer: Did you want to do this one since you started it? Either way, I hope the sources above help. APK hi :-) (talk) 19:47, 17 January 2024 (UTC)Reply

@APK: Not at the top of my 'to do' list, but I wanted to get the ball rolling at least. Thanks for sharing! ---Another Believer _(Talk) 19:57, 17 January 2024 (UTC)Reply

@APK Thanks for expanding this article. You might see what Reywas92 added to Tribune_Tower#Plaza, as some of the content should probably be moved here. Happy editing! ---Another Believer _(Talk) 05:47, 20 January 2024 (UTC)Reply

You're welcome. I've got a ways to go. The front page story on the dedication alone is a lot to cover. Working on that now. APK hi :-) (talk) 05:49, 20 January 2024 (UTC)Reply

@Reywas92: Please see sources here. Thanks, ---Another Believer _(Talk) 22:21, 18 January 2024 (UTC)Reply
