Number of floors

Until yesterday, this article said "Floor count 121 (floors below ground: 2)" which is based on this Reuters article. The number was changed by an IP to read "Floor count 128 (floors below ground: 2)" which is supported by the reference on this page (Tallest Building in China Breaks Ground) and by skyscrapercenter.com. However, note that skyscrapercenter gives the below ground number as 5 not 2. Looking at other references, Shanghai Daily says 137 stories, The Telegraph says 128 and China Daily gives 121. There seems to be allot of disagreement in sources as to the correct figure. Rincewind42 (talk) 01:04, 7 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Request Edit

My name is Leah and I work for Gensler (see previous requested edit for additional info). I'm recommending that we add a citation to a recent Fast Company article, because the citation is more timely and a neutral point of view that is verifiable. Here is my recommendation:

Design

The Shanghai Tower was designed by the American architectural firm Gensler, with Chinese architect Jun Xia leading the design team.^[1]^[2]^[3]

change status

I live in shanghai and seen the tower being built. The tower now is almost finished, and work now is on the inside. So I recommend to change the status. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 58.247.151.136 (talk) 08:47, 16 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Urban Exploration

The Urban Exploration section seems completely irrelevant to me. I can't justify its presence, so I'm removing it.
