Why does the article say the “height is reported to be between 25 and 33 feet (7.6 and 10.1 m)”? NickWikiAccount1708 ( talk) 02:04, 6 January 2019 (UTC)
I agree, couldn’t someone measure it, verify it, publish it, post it on Wikipedia...? Goofy to me that the measurement is an estimate for a finite structure. NickWikiAccount1708 ( talk) 16:29, 6 January 2019 (UTC)
@ Another Believer: Is HowStuffWorks (currently cited in ref 23) actually published by TLC? I don't see any mention of this on the website's about section, and the website's copyright info lists HowStuffWorks as a division of InfoSpace Holdings LLC. Lord Bolingbroke ( talk) 05:11, 6 January 2019 (UTC)
I'm on the fence, if this is a lumino kinetic artwork that uses lights to display information, should Category:Light art be included? --- Another Believer ( Talk) 17:47, 6 January 2019 (UTC)
This picture clearly has insufficient contrast of subject and background: it adds no understanding to the article and does nothing to illustrate the article. At present, it serves no purpose beyond demonstrating the poor supply of better pictures, and the inexplicable willingness of Wikipedia to put something of this standard on the Main Page. No picture is better than a bad picture. Kevin McE ( talk) 17:10, 10 January 2019 (UTC)
