Antennae are only found on insects

Someone should correct the use of "antennae" in the article. Radio antennas are not spelled that way. Thanks 2600:1700:22F0:59EF:10CA:AB50:2549:E7CE (talk) 22:15, 30 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Done Great catch! I have corrected it to antennas. Thanks! Johnny Au (talk/contributions) 00:12, 1 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Tallest in the world?

This page and the Taipei 101 page both link to Burj Khalifa as "surpassed by" under Record Height. The Burj Khalifa page links to Taipei 101 as "preceded by". Why? (The Empire State Building and Ostankino Tower pages have the same issue but that doesn't matter here.) BlairMyhre (talk) 00:25, 13 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

List of tallest buildings and structures has some useful info. It looks like the CN Tower held the record for "tallest freestanding structure" while Taipei 101 held the record for "tallest building", until they were both surpassed by the Burj Khalifa. The infobox template could be made clearer though. It might be worth discussing over at Template talk:Infobox building. – Anne drew (talk · contribs) 00:55, 13 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, I guess the issue lies more with the infobox. I'll bring it up on the template page you linked if it's not already discussed there. BlairMyhre (talk) 06:31, 13 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Also, welcome BlairMyhre! I hope you enjoy the place and decide to stick around. If you have any questions feel free to leave a message on my talk page or at the Teahouse. – Anne drew (talk · contribs)
