Dold

• June 15, 2008 - Taipei 101 Run Up, won by German athlete Thomas Dold, 23, in 10 minutes, 53 seconds with 200,000 Taiwan dollars (6,600 US) prize - defeating last year's champion Italian Marco De Gasperi, second and Taiwan's Chen Fu-tsai, third (of 2,500 participants). Dold also won the 2008 New York Empire State Building run-up. In the women's event, Taiwanese Lee Hsiao-yu of Taiwan, won in 14 minutes and 53 seconds.afp.google.com, German wins race up world's tallest skyscrapernewsinfo.inquirer.net, German wins race up world's tallest skyscraper--Florentino floro (talk) 06:47, 15 June 2008 (UTC)

Damper Baby?

Should it be included in the article of the actual name of the damper? I was able to go to Taipei 101 in 2006 or 2007, and it has a clearly stated name of Damper Baby, along with height, weight, likes and the such. Apparently, we view it as a personification. Should this be added? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 61.228.24.66 (talk) 04:50, 20 August 2008 (UTC)

Deaths during construction

Y I added 臺北101

Hello there: the same way the ROC article has a country infobox showing the name in english, then, its local name in the appliable script (traditional), or the Red cross of the ROC article, in its NGO infobox, I have added it, for what it seems like the policy of the site...

I DO NOT SUPPORT ADDING 台北101 TO THE SKYCRAPPER INFOBOX, BECAUSE THE CITY OF TAIBEI, LIKE THE CITY OF TAIZHONG, BOTH USE THE FORM 臺, NOT 台.

linguistics include both variants (thats y its a linguistics box)Gumuhua (talk) 22:15, 5 January 2009 (UTC)

• 臺 and 台 are both acceptable and are both used in the city names. Personally, I think if there's one character that should be purged from the Chinese language, it is 臺. It's utterly useless, as 台 is already both a traditional and a simplified character. 61.224.44.12 (talk) 12:18, 22 January 2009 (UTC)

Location

Taipei is in Tiawan not China. Why is it stated as located in China? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.127.248.75 (talk) 23:01, 2 April 2009 (UTC)

I'm not sure when it was changed. Taipei 101 is in Taiwan. Taiwan is currently governed by the Republic of China (note: not the People's Republic of China, which governs China). The location should be given as "Taiwan". If there is a need to state the government, it should be "Republic of China". If this were an article about politics and the jurisdiction were a key characteristic of the subject, it would be important to mention the Republic of China government. However Taipei 101 is a commercial building. If you want to find it, you go to Taiwan. That's the location. Readin (talk) 01:09, 3 April 2009 (UTC)

Location

Someone changed it back so i changed it myself. same as before.Sorry spelled it wrong.

Definition of Building

I disagree with the following statement, and think it would be worth mentioning a reputable source for this definition in the article:

"international architectural standards define a "building" as a structure capable of being fully occupied."

If this were truly the qualification for a "Building" then that would suggest that an office tower that is fire damaged on one floor or an apartment complex that is flooded in the basement or a house that has had its water shut-off ceases to be a building because they cannot safely and legally sustain full occupancy in accordance with city building codes (at least in the United States). Obviously, that is completely counter-intuitive.

For sake of example, when the Empire State Building was hit by a B-52 bomber in 1945, was it temporarily not a building while ongoing repairs were being conducted to the upper floors? --RKrause (talk) 04:37, 4 September 2009 (UTC)

References and Citations should be reviewed to avoid false or exaggerated claims...

I believe we should review the citations in this article to make it more credible.

It's dangerous and unacceptable to cite another wiki without going directly to the sources of information.

This is pretty much how rumors got started. And rumor is not what wikipedia is about.

Please help clean up this article and improve its quality and credibility.

Richie Wiki

This article here claims that Taipei 101 was "constructed by Samsung Engineering and Construction and KTRT Joint Venture." But it failed to offer source of reference. In the article's reference section, none of the cited reference mentioned Samsung. In fact, the video "Discovery Channel, Man Made Marvels: Taipei 101", which majority of the article is based, mentioned neither Samsung nor KTRT JV. This only proves that this RitchieWikie article doesn't qualify as reliable source of reference.

New Year's Eve fireworks

Hey, does anyone have a source for this: "2009-2010: There will no longer be fireworks this year due to the rejection of foreign company sponsors such as Sony." I'm just a bit curious about why there aren't going to be fireworks this year. 128.255.150.46 (talk) 22:32, 20 November 2009 (UTC)

Well, there WAS fireworks for 2010, together with the slogan "Taiwan UP". So wherever this came from, it wasn't correct in the end.Grottenolm42 (talk) 08:41, 7 January 2010 (UTC)

CN Tower reference?

Shouldn't there be a reference to the CN tower somewhere on the page, and how much taller this tower is than that? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.65.21.205 (talk) 20:03, 11 December 2009 (UTC)

Taipei 101 was not the first building in the world taller than 500m

The following claim is incorrect, despite the reference: "Taipei 101 was the first building in the world to break the half-kilometer mark in height[4]." In the CN Tower article there is a contradiction: "Standing 553.3 metres (1,815 ft) tall,[2] it was completed in 1976." I am much more certain about the validity of the latter claim. --Silentrebel (talk) 19:31, 16 March 2011 (UTC)

I think the difference here is between "tower" and "building". There are plenty of towers that were taller than Taipei 101 (see List of tallest structures in the world). But yes, the CN Tower was the tallest "freestanding structure" for quite some time. :) Thanks! -Multivariable (talk) 21:49, 16 March 2011 (UTC)

Hmm... Very good point. In such a case, the claim in the text is not wrong, but could be misleading. It seems to me that not everyone would clearly see the difference between and building and a tower. Perhaps this distinction should be clearly made. --Silentrebel (talk) 15:53, 17 March 2011 (UTC)

I would not think it would be necessary, but perhaps a wikilink for "building" that links to the list of tallest buildings, which in turn has links to the lists of structures, towers, etc.? Thanks! -Multivariable (talk) 20:10, 17 March 2011 (UTC)

REMOVE SAMSUNG ENGINEERING

Samsung's involvement in Taipei 101 is rather insignificant. There're hundreds of subcontractors and Samsung is just one of them. Samsung's task was public space finishing. That's a far cry from constructor!!!!

Reference: page 78 of a book titled "亞洲新建築 New Asia Regionalism In Global Context" (ISBN(10):9789579226196) lists over 100 parties involved. Samsung is listed way down the list and is responsible for public area finishing. (more info on the book: http://archbook.com.tw/book-detail.asp?BookNumber=80158 ) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 210.243.121.193 (talk) 07:53, 31 March 2011 (UTC)

height

Hello. This article refers solely to this building's emporis page for its height (509.2 m). But numerous other webpages refer to it as being 508 meters tall (bbc article, (in French) lemoniteur.fr article ...). I don't think emporis height should be the only one to be used in the article. Freewol (talk) 11:12, 19 May 2011 (UTC)

This is somewhat explained in Talk:Taipei 101/Archive 1#GA Review and Talk:Taipei 101/Archive 1#Exact height of Taipei 101. Both explain that the building is constructed on a 1.2 m high concrete platform. The builders didn't include the platform in their height so 508 m got propagated to a lot of places. It seems the CTBUH, who officially decide such things for the purpose of declaring records, originally included the platform and got 509.2 m. However, they have now changed it to 508 m (see here). Who is right, I'm not sure; I have a feeling we should include the platform because it projects above the ground and was built so that the skyscraper could be built on top of it, but the CTBUH has a good record when it comes to such things and Wikipedia often uses their figures as a reliable source. The prior consensus may have been based on the CTBUH's earlier inclusion of the platform, but that may change now. Astronaut (talk) 13:02, 9 June 2011 (UTC)

no access at all

floors higher than 92 aren't accessible at all. let alone wheelchair / handicap accessible! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.57.127.243 (talk) 06:21, 30 September 2011 (UTC)

That'll be bacause those floors house communications equipment and are therefore not open to the public. Astronaut (talk) 13:55, 19 November 2011 (UTC)

Anyone know the occupancy rate of Taipei 101?

When I visited the building last week, it seemed that many of the floors were empty. I also heard commentary that the rent was exorbitant. Does someone know the occupancy rate? --Alvestrand (talk) 21:30, 20 November 2011 (UTC)

If no sources can be found, it might indicate that the information is not very relevant, or at least not super important. However, removing just the year entries without source while leaving the others is not possible because the list would be incomplete. I recommend to move the whole list of yearly entries to the article Taipei New Year's Eve Party. If you can, try to get some general sentences in that are not year-specific; e.g. how long the fireworks last in general, and everything that seems relevant. --Jens Lallensack (talk) 20:27, 18 November 2023 (UTC)

  •  Done -Dcdiehardfan (talk) 22:19, 24 December 2023 (UTC)
• Source 91 is supposed to cite the "VIP club". However, that article does not mention the club as far as I can see. Only the user comments below it mention it. And those are not high-quality sources.
  •  Removed I couldn't find anything on this anywhere else. Knowledgegatherer23 (Say Hello) 20:18, 24 January 2024 (UTC)
• Source #15: Is this behind a paywall? If so, should be tagged as closed source.
  •  Removed The only other place I could find about property returning to the city in 2067 was most likely WP:CIRC. Knowledgegatherer23 (Say Hello) 01:10, 2 February 2024 (UTC)
• Source #17 has a cite error.
  •  Done Knowledgegatherer23 (Say Hello) 18:19, 22 January 2024 (UTC)
• Source #19: Link does not work.
  •  Removed I removed the source. The information that cites it already has a lot of sources. Knowledgegatherer23 (Say Hello) 20:24, 24 January 2024 (UTC)
• Source #23: does not lead to the desired information.
• Source #24: not found
• Source #25: not found
• Source #32: I asked about this at the help desk, and they replied it is not an acceptable source, see Wikipedia:Help_desk#Publicly_posted_material_–_a_reliable_source?. Do you possibly know what this "posted material" is? A sign? Some paper on the blackboard?

• @Knowledgegatherer23: Stopping here for now (I only checked 1/4 of the sources). We seem to have a serious issue with dead sources, since most had not been properly rescued using the wayback machine (internet archive). I should have checked this earlier. I fear that dead sources have to be replaced, or the information they support removed, but I am not sure and will be happy to ask how to best deal with such cases. Let me know what you think, first. The text itself looks fine for me now apart from the new points above; the sources seem to be the last deal breaker. --Jens Lallensack (talk) 03:39, 23 December 2023 (UTC)
  • Hey, I'm not the prime editor here but I just went ahead and implemented some minor changes on my own boldly. Ping me back if I did anything erroneously. -Dcdiehardfan (talk) 22:19, 24 December 2023 (UTC)

@Knowledgegatherer23: I was able to fix the problem with all the dead links by following the instructions in WP:Link rot and using a bot. Many of my points above are solved now thanks to this. I here list the few last open issues, and then we can finally promote this one. You may ignore the comments above.

• Taipei 101 claimed the official records for the world's tallest sundial and the world's largest New Year's Eve countdown clock. – Needs a source.
  •  Removed Knowledgegatherer23 (Say Hello) 15:03, 3 February 2024 (UTC)
• Regarding my comment on source 15 that is behind a paywall: Please note that we do not have to remove sources just because they are behind a paywall. That is completely fine. I was just asking for adding "|url-access=subscription" to the citation. --Jens Lallensack (talk) 13:31, 2 February 2024 (UTC)

@Jens Lallensack I don't think that was a reliable source. It didn't seem like I would have found the proper information there, nor could I figure out what subscription was required to get past the paywall. Knowledgegatherer23 (Say Hello) 03:16, 3 February 2024 (UTC)

All right, thanks. Jens Lallensack (talk) 09:27, 3 February 2024 (UTC)

• Source 30 (Publicly posted material, Floor 89, Taipei 101. 17 August 2007) is not an acceptable source and needs to be removed or replaced (see my comment above)
  •  Done Wow! what a journey. Replaced or removed everything. Have a great day! Knowledgegatherer23 (Say Hello) 16:19, 3 February 2024 (UTC)

Cool! We are finally there. I am promoting this now. Congrats! --Jens Lallensack (talk) 16:27, 3 February 2024 (UTC)
