Twitter's headquarters

- Reviewed: Template:Did you know nominations/Execution of Benjamin Moloise

Created by JJonahJackalope (talk). Self-nominated at 01:51, 31 August 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Market Square (San Francisco); consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.[reply]

Very nice article! New enough (created August 31), long enough, NPOV, and interesting hook. Source is inline cited to a RS (Curbed SFO). Image has a CC-BY 4.0 license. Earwig returns a "violation possible" warning, however, on further review, this is a false positive activated from a properly cited quote by Elon Musk. QPQ done. Looks good to me.

X.com building.

The New York Times referred it to the “X.com building” a couple times. So I am adding it. TheMasterMind321 (talk) 19:45, 17 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Removing. Not used as a proper noun ("X.com Building"); only used as a common noun ("the X.com building in Market Square"). — kashmīrī ^TALK 19:53, 17 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Adding back, I don’t think you understand. The New York Times & other sources said X.com building on its own. (E.g, Elon Musk lights up X.com building, Crews continue removing Twitter decals from the X.com building.) But if you still don’t understand & remove it again. I will not add it back again, because I respect your decision & in the process won’t start a article war. TheMasterMind321 (talk) 22:24, 17 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@TheMasterMind321 You fail to understand the diference between common noun and proper noun. As an example, another building's name is The Pentagon, not "the Pentagon building", even though the latter phrase can be googled up in a few sources. Yes, I've reverted your edit and yes, you're engaged in an edit war and I've left a warning on your Talk. Don't do that or you'll be blocked again. — kashmīrī ^TALK 09:29, 18 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
