Spelling in reference title

Hi Bruxton, the De Meyer, Paul reference, with the nonsense spelling "BF Builiding" seems to have been vandalised? The description in that entry at that site has the correct spelling "BP Building". Not sure how you should fix but it looks bad that it now appears in this encyclopedia. JennyOz (talk) 12:27, 30 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@JennyOz: Thank you for the message. That looks like a typo to me. Emporis does not appear to be prohibited, and the information is there. Do you know if that source can be used? Meanwhile I will seek a better source, since that one only references one sentence in the article. Bruxton (talk) 15:02, 30 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@JennyOz: I replaced it with a somewhat primary looking document. The sentence about ownership is also supported by the foreign language ref that follows. ("BP-building". inventaris onroerenderfgoed. Onroerenderfgoed. Archived from the original on 14 January 2022. Retrieved 14 January 2022), so we are probably good. Thanks for catching the problem. I may have ignored that misspelling when working on the article. Bruxton (talk) 15:13, 30 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks Bruxton, that seems a good solution. JennyOz (talk) 15:25, 30 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
