Talk:File Under So. Co., Waiting for...

Article Title

edit

I wonder if the title of this article should actually be File Under So. Co., Waiting for... because that is the work's true name, and "World's tallest filing cabinet" seems to be a nickname given by journalists who were too lazy to refer to it by its true name. See WP:NPOVNAME. On the other hand, perhaps a nickname becomes a real name in time. I will leave it as-is until anyone more knowledgeable about the work offers an opinion. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 22:09, 19 December 2020 (UTC)Reply

  • I'd support the name change. Not that I think it has any competition, but to my knowledge there is no certification that this is in fact the world's tallest. I think going by the official name is a safe bet.Mbdfar (talk) 01:44, 20 December 2020 (UTC)Reply
@Mbdfar: - Thanks for the comment. I did not consider the need for certification to be dubbed the "world's tallest". I will change the name of the article (called a "move" in Wikipedia jargon) for this reason. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 20:58, 21 December 2020 (UTC)Reply

Has it moved?

edit

I notice that the reference only stated that it had been decided to move it. It is possible that for various important reasons thias has not been accomplished yet. It would be good to have photo at its new home, if it has actually been moved?Leutha (talk) 13:59, 3 October 2021 (UTC)Reply

OK, it has moved! Leutha (talk) 14:17, 3 October 2021 (UTC)Reply

What's erroneous about the name?

edit

The article says this "is often erroneously called the world's tallest filing cabinet." What's erroneous? Is there a taller filing cabinet? 2600:1000:B10F:CD3A:A0BC:D098:B89C:2325 (talk) 21:16, 10 July 2022 (UTC)Reply

Hmm, that was insufficiently obvious so I've changed it. jnestorius(talk) 04:22, 30 March 2023 (UTC)Reply

It's not taller on pedestal

edit

Many cabinets were removed from the height with its new 10' cement pedestal, or incorporated into the other art projects. B137 (talk) 04:12, 18 June 2024 (UTC)Reply
