[edit] World's Tallest Bedroom

Took out reference to worlds highest bedroom as this reference suggests Q1's apartments are the highest in the world, which is incorrect.

"Eureka Tower will have the the second highest apartments in the world, the highest being the penthouse on level 87 which will be 278.5 meters above ground level. Only the John Hancock Center in Chicago has apartments higher than this." http://www.emporis.com/en/wm/bu/?id=131515 -- Shumway 01:09, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] clean-up

Sorry guys, I had to cut a bunch of stuff out. It really isn't relevant in an encyclopedia whether or not a building has a Kids Club or 184 two bedroom apartments. Also, since this is the Internet and all, links to other pages are nice. --qviri 05:45, 27 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] world's tallest residential

Why is it going to be the second tallest in the world? Emporis uses spire heights, and especially when the Worlds tallest buildings page uses them as well, I think it should be the same for Q1. Iorek85 04:18, 1 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] "tallest skyscraper in the Southern Hemisphere, as measured to the tip of its spire."

Can someone explain how this can be when the Sky Tower in Auckland is 328m tall vs. Q1's 323? Feel free to revert but I am removing the reference until explained - Glen ^T_C (Stollery) 08:38, 2 June 2006 (UTC)

Q1 is the tallest skyscraper in the southern hemisphere because it is a skyscraper, unlike sky tower which is a tower.

Well, why is the Q1 measured to the tip of the spire in the article, but "in comparison" the Eiffel tower is 300m *excluding* the antenna? The way I see it, either you include the spire/antenna or you do not. As it stands, it seems a bit like flag waving, not objective information.

[edit] Uploaded Image

I have uploaded an image of Q1 but dont know if it is any use, if anyone wants to add it or whatever, its here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Q1_LC.JPG.

[edit] What was the supposed fib?

The "controversy" section makes no sense. It says that a big fib was told, but doesn't say what the fib (supposedly) was. This section should be made clearer, or removed. Rocksong 02:13, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Song Name

Wanted to purchase the song off the "Birth of Paradise" DVD sold in the store, however it wasnt listed anywhere, ended up asking Pete Crossley of PBC Design Studios, the name of the company who made the video for the Sunland Group. "Seven Mile" is the name of the song, the artist is "Grooveyard". First published on Ministry of Sound: Chillout Sessions 8. Writing this because none of the staff knew, nor did the DVD state it.

[edit] Sky Tower "a skyscraper"!?

I think I should remove the part of article saying that Sky Tower is skyscraper, because Sky Tower is not skyscraper. It's just an observation tower.

Q1 ties with the Auckland Sky Tower as the tallest skyscraper in the Southern Hemisphere when measured to the spire.
