Maybe the World Trade Centers Association needs to take some responsibility for the accuracy of this page. I know for a fact that the Buffalo-Niagara WTC is not closed. Also doubt that there is one in Wilson, NC. The last time I was in Wilson, admittededly almost 30 years ago, they had a billboard as you entered the town, stating "Welcome to Wilson, NC. The Klan welcomes you.

I would definitely roll the NYC WTC into this page, with a link to the article on the terrorist attack, but don't have one with lower case and one upper case. That just seems silly.
Speaking of silly, do we really need some verification that the crash of two airliners caused the collapse?

Do we really want two articles that differ only by capitalisation? Perhaps it can be moved to world trade centers.--Jerryseinfeld 22:45, 3 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Maybe this should redirect to World Trade Centers Association and not the opposite. Ricardo Monteiro 22:01, 10 December 2005 (UTC)

Is the Wilson, NC one a joke? I've been to Wilson, and there's not much there...

[edit] MK

There is a world trade centre in the new 'Hub:MK' high-rise development in Milton Keynes, UK. The building complex itself is very prominent, visible from miles away, although I don't know how significant the WTC part is. Any thoughts on it or including it?

[edit] World Trade Center Destruction

This page in its self seems redundant if this section is talking about the destruction of a particular WTC. I would suggest removing this paragraph that does not cite sources. Many experts disput that these planes have caused the collapse of the towers. This engineer certainly shows skeptiscism. Erichwtl 05:23, 13 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] 300 twintowers?

And where are they? This is false. World trade centers are usually low buildings. And there are certainly no 300 twin buildings, either. This should be removed. Endimion17, 4:37, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Proposed merge with World Trade Center (disambiguation)

  • Agree - it should be merged. I am a foreigner, and I wanted info about the World Trade Centres, and I got this page and it took me for surprise. Smooth0707, 2:06, 19 September 2006
The only problem is the film because all other items on the disambiguation page refer to the WTC's. I'd be comfortable with migrating all other items besides the movie to [World trade center] but that still leaves the movie, which to me doesn't fit into the theme of the [World trade center] article. Maybe just leave the movie as a single alternative on the disambiguation page? I know that's not a merge but it's the only problem with doing a merge. Use your best judgement I guess.

The movie could be added at the top as a {{Otheruses4}} template as in, for example, Once Upon a Time in the West. RoscoHead 10:06, 25 February 2007 (UTC)
  • Agree - The concept of a "world trade center" is worldwide, and in line with WP:BIAS, we should show this accordingly. While there will be other uses (like the film), the centers are the main focus, and just like any other disambiguation pages, it can deal with it - Jack · talk · 04:28, Sunday, 11 February 2007
  • Agree I came looking for the WTC in Barcelona and didn't find it at World Trade Center or the disambig page, so this makes complete sense to me. --Mcginnly | Natter 09:39, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
  • Agree RoscoHead 10:07, 25 February 2007 (UTC)
  • Agree There are many WTC, they should be easier to find! The prominence of the NYC WTC constitutes systemic bias (WP:BIAS). Thus, I propose having World Trade Center pointing at the merged new page, instead of pointing to the NYC WTC. Tang Wenlong (talk) 18:26, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
