Height

It is wrong to not include the antenna height in the total height in this article while including the antenna height in the One World trade Center article and then again in other articles which list the heights of both building. Consistency is required. Either list One World Trade Center as shorter or list both heights with their respective antennas. 71.58.30.184 (talk) 21:20, 29 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

"Outside the building, there was originally a 80,000-square-foot (7,400 m2) plaza made of pink granite.[158] In the late 2010s, a three-level wing was built along the western and southern sides of the tower replacing the tower."

Unsupported claim needs editing

A registered editor needs to change the wording in the lead claiming the tower is the 3rd tallest building in the Western Hemisphere, which is unsupported. The link is not to any list of the tallest buildings in that hemisphere; rather to the tallest in the United States. The Willis Tower may be both, but that is not the claim made, and even if it was it is not supported by that link.

Moreover, the claims are inidentical and non-synchronous, and need to be made independently; it is the 3rd tallest in the U.S. (supportable by an appropriately labeled link); it may also be the tallest in its hemisphere (which needs independent support). 2601:196:180:DC0:9105:7CB3:5C2A:156D (talk) 09:04, 20 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
