Unreliable sources maintenance tag

SounderBruce, thanks again for adding the unreliable sources maintenance tag. Which references do you believe are unreliable? The Emporis and SkyscraperPage references were added in accordance with guidance provided by WikiProject Skyscrapers. Is the issue more citations are needed? Squideshi (talk) 17:26, 10 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

SkyscraperPage is a user-generated database, and is thus wholly unreliable. Emporis is fine, but there needs to be non-database sources for an article like this, especially on an existing building. There's a few results from the Chicago Tribune that could be integrated in, or the historic registry from the city. Sounder Bruce 20:35, 10 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the clarification. I've raised your concern about SkyscraperPage in WikiProject Skyscrapers. I agree there need to be non-database sources, and I do plan to eventually add them (See my to do list above.) The Landmark Designation Report you shared is excellent. There are also links to a number of independent sources I plan to parse on the press section of the official website. Squideshi (talk) 20:56, 10 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
