hello, i would like to change the image in the info box. is there any possible way for me to do that? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Man akieym ( talk • contribs) 07:54, 17 July 2018 (UTC)
The image has already been changed. But if you want to upload an image into an infobox or anywhere else on Wikipedia, you first need to upload it onto Wikimedia Commons. More info is available on the site itself. PS that was my image of the building :) TerraGaming ( talk) 06:34, 8 August 2019 (UTC)
They change the name of this project every other month. Now it seems to be renamed to Merdeka 118.-- Renek78 ( talk) 14:39, 27 September 2019 (UTC)
Yes, I suggest we move the page to Merdeka 118 instead of PNB 118. Just checking with others, is it fine to do so? N1k4Bl4z1ng ( talk) 03:55, 18 September 2020 (UTC)
Makes sense in my opinion Renek78 ( talk) 14:49, 26 September 2020 (UTC)
It seems i should update with this /info/en/?search=PNB_118#cite_note-22 for new evidence upgrade into 666 meters for the PNB 118. Hope you all agree. mr Rob 115.134.36.76 ( talk) 07:25, 31 October 2019 (UTC)
This is an discussion posted on another editors talk page talk. I have tried to help this editor regarding the dispute of the building height. I have posted this discussion here so other editors can see it and comment. Please read the information in the links regarding Wikipedia guidelines before commenting if you are new to Wikipedia. Thanks
Please refer to WP:RS and WP:BRD and WP:V. Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat (CTBUH) is the most reliable source for heights for buildings. Please go to their website and see that CTBUH is a member organisation which has as its members the architects, building companies, funders and other organisations that work together to build the structures shown on their website. This is why they are reliable because they source the height of buildings from these primary sources for information. Other sources are not as reliable. If you disagree you need to go to the talk page of the main article for the building in question and dispute my conclusion about the reliability fo CTBUH there. This allows other editors to comment and consensus to be reached. Please see WP:DR Robynthehode ( talk) 11:22, 31 October 2019 (UTC)
Despite being asked to come here to comment the editor in this dispute persists in posting on his talk page. Here is the post:

Placing this article under "Mid Importance" does not make any sense, especially when there are these few reasons:
I'm not changing it now because this is a rather important article.
But if I get a consensus, then we can change it.

According to an article from the New Straits Times (NST), the current height remains unreleased. Several schematics of the skyscraper suggests a height between 678 to 721 metres. It was also reported in the article that the height is believed to be closer to 700 metres.

In the intro, the article says the building's name "is inspired by" its proximity to two stadiums: Merdeka (which makes sense, it's the same name) and Negara. This is not elaborated on. As far as I can tell, "Negara" is not in the building's FULL name. The article on Stadium Negara makes no mention of it being partial inspiration for the building's name. And as far as I can tell, the source article linked after this statement does NOT claim the building's name was inspired by Stadium Negara but rather mentions the stadium is owned by the same state-owned corporation as is building Merdeka 118, that some people thought Stadium Negara was being torn down to build Merdeka 118, and that one of the people involved has the name Negara or something. SO HOW IS THE BUILDING'S NAME INSPIRED BY STADIUM NEGARA? 147.226.230.176 ( talk) 23:37, 30 July 2022 (UTC)
I notice the Merdeka 118 infobox picture has been changed over and over again. Anyway I'm compiling a few of the tower's images on Commons which should be the lead picture InterEdit88 ( talk) 07:58, 21 December 2022 (UTC)
Support – I believe this image is better suited for the article (even though it wasn't recent), because the image quality of this image is the best I could find for the skyscraper mentioned. Clarity and recency does not equate to quality. There is a reason why the best image of the Petronas Towers was shot in 2008 (15 years ago), because it was a great image. Cheers, gavre (al.

Hi GreenC I may seem inappropriate to you, but in Merdeka 118 I noticed some errors on the height of the observatory, I changed the height to the previous version because the height of the roof of the building is 516.9 meters not 482! (some sources say the height of the observatory is 516 meters). Please don't undo my changes 93.65.247.154 ( talk) 05:44, 22 June 2024 (UTC)
