The article: Skyscraper conflicts with this article, citing Philadelphia City Hall as the tallest masonry load-bearing building in the world. Is there a distiction made in this article that I'm missing, or is someone simply wrong? -- Woodardj 17:33, 18 October 2006 (UTC)
This section is quite important and is pretty well done. I'd add something about the building on the SWC of Washington and Dearborn (across from the Daley Center, to the Miro's right, exactly half a mile north of the Monadnock) Google Street View It's "common knowledge" that the curve near the base of the building (shown on GSV) is a nod to the Monadnock's curve at the base. Don't know where a reliable source is yet, but ... Smallbones ( talk) 15:38, 21 November 2010 (UTC)
The description of the diagram cited a 1999 source that only the Monadnock remained of the great buildings in the diagram. This is not true. The building marked #10 is the Fisher building, which is still standing. Behind it, unnumbered, is the still standing Old Colony Building. And the unmarked low building at the SE corner of Jackson and Dearborn is also still standing. But it is true that the buildings marked 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 8, and 9 have all been demolished. But because 1 other numbered building is still standing, the statement was incorrect and its deletion was justified. Icebox93 ( talk) 10:39, 7 November 2011 (UTC)

Regarding the reversion of my edits to this claim by Michaelmalak ( talk · contribs), I moved it to a footnote because that fact is not mentioned in the body of the article and so does not belong in the lead WP:MOSINTRO. The footnote to which I moved it specifically addresses the tallest masonry building claim, and it is the only place in the article that does. The City Hall claim is most helpful there, since it clarifies that the Monadnock is the tallest commercial masonry building, but not the tallest of all masonry buildings.
The City Hall claim also surely requires a citation, wherever it goes. It took more effort than you would think to find a reliable source, but I found one and provided it, but the reversion deleted it (so please don't do that again).
Finally, the reversion also deleted a number of fixes I made to the citation format in the footnotes, which I took some trouble to do. Please be more careful with your revisions so that they do not wholesale remove things you do not mean to remove.
I have reverted the edit to restore what was I assume in good faith inadvertently deleted. I would ask that we please discuss these edits here before changing them again.

As far as I can tell, this article about the tallest brick building does not say how tall it is. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Coreyglynn ( talk • contribs) 20:03, 8 October 2021 (UTC)
