Hello, I'm Akakievich. Wikipedia is written by people who have a wide diversity of opinions, but we try hard to make sure articles have a neutral point of view. Your recent edit to Century Plaza Towers seemed less than neutral and has been removed. If you think this was a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Akakievich (talk) 18:32, 7 December 2021 (UTC)

If this is a shared IP address, and you did not make the edits referred to above, consider creating an account for yourself or logging in with an existing account so that you can avoid further irrelevant notices.

I have a neutral point of view on this. If there's a NPOV synonym for "magnus opus" it should be used. I reverted but with what I think is a better phrase. The WTC is indisputably his best known work, per sourcing on his own wiki page. I mean, it's the original world trade center in nyc...probably the best known tall buildings in human history, after the pyramids and the Eiffel Tower... 2600:1012:B065:F8DB:31E4:61E0:EE11:128B (talk) 18:43, 7 December 2021 (UTC)

I see what you mean now, apologies for reverting so hastily. To me, "masterwork" says more about the perceived quality of the work than its cultural status - for example, I definitely would not argue with the claim that Wuthering Heights is Emily Bronte's "magnum opus", but I personally would not call it a "masterwork", I can't stand it. Perhaps "best-known work" or simply "Yamasaki's iconic World Trade Center" would get the point across better? Akakievich (talk) 18:55, 7 December 2021 (UTC)
