The WTC did not 'open' in 1973!
editThe WTC began accepting tenants into the first tower upon its completion in 1970. The WTC was open. The second tower was completed in 1972 - and becoming tenanted. The official ribbon cutting opening ceremony was in 1973. This is not made clear at the beginning of the article.

History merge
editSo this page was obviously already in existence in 2004: https://web.archive.org/web/20040203051832/http://en2.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Trade_Center
Where is the history of that page until 2015? I haven't been able to locate it. Can we do a history merge? PhotographyEdits (talk) 13:45, 27 September 2024 (UTC)
- @PhotographyEdits, the history of this page is at Talk:World Trade Center/old, which is linked at the top of this talk page.If I recall correctly, the history cannot be merged for these reasons:
- Both this page and World Trade Center (2001–present) can reasonably be construed as "successors" to the original page. The original article talked about both the old complex and the current complex. This was discussed at length at Talk:World Trade Center/Archive 4#History merge, where there was discussion about which page the original article's history should be merged with.
- The original page had 6,300 revisions, so it was not possible to histmerge the pages at the time of the above discussion (in 2015).
- The history of Talk:World Trade Center/old is linked at the top of both this talk page and Talk:World Trade Center (2001–present). As such, I don't think any attribution of previous revisions is being lost here.

- I'm confused. Am I correctly understanding that the history of the article page is now inaccessible, but the talk page history is preserved in /old? The 2001-current building article history also goes back to 2015.
- Maybe it wasn't clear, but I was looking for the *article* history before 2015 about the original WTC building, not the talk page. PhotographyEdits (talk) 15:24, 27 September 2024 (UTC)
- @PhotographyEdits, it's my fault for being unclear; I should've said the article history is at Talk:World Trade Center/old. Sorry if I was unclear. (The talk page history is at Talk:World Trade Center.) – Epicgenius (talk) 15:38, 27 September 2024 (UTC)
- Right. Thanks for clearing that up! PhotographyEdits (talk) 18:09, 27 September 2024 (UTC)
