Forgive me for not knowing the convention, does "office space pricing at Burj Khalifa reached US$4,000 per sq ft (over US$43,000 per m²" refer to condominium sale prices, or yearly rent, or something else? If it is condominium sales, are there also annual assessments? Could someone add a clarification to the article's text? Thanks! |

== Hymenocalis - not a desert plant == |
|||
Under [[Burj Khalifa#Park|<u>Features</u>: '''Park''']], this line appears: |
|||
"Like the tower, the park's design was based on the flower of the ''[[Hymenocallis]]'', a desert plant." |
|||
''[[Hymenocallis]]'' is not a desert plant. It's native to the Americas, and while it's drought-tolerant once established, it grows mostly in swamps and other wet environments.

== The floor plan is no longer correct. == |
|||
There are 3 groups of floors with an observation deck that can be visited at the Burj Khalifa. (see: https://tickets.atthetop.ae/atthetop/en-us ). |
|||
The highest group with an outdoor observation deck comprises of floors 152-153 and 154. This is called "World’s highest lounge". Secondly you have floor 148 with an observation deck and which is called "At the Top, Burj Khalifa SKY". Lastly you have floors 124 and 125 that can be visited, which is referred to as "At the Top, Burj Khalifa". [[User:LodeVdd|LodeVdd]] ([[User talk:LodeVdd|talk]]) 07:53, 22 August 2023 (UTC) |

:::Good point on the coroner's report, I didn't think about that.

::Given LeonaLeeSykes later edits (in various places), it seems clear that we need to discuss this in terms of what exactly we say about this unfortunate event: it isn't a simple matter of substituting a few words. It would help greatly if we first collated what sources are available here. Once we've done that, we will be in a better position to decide how to proceed. It should probably be noted that the ''Daily Express'' is considered a questionable source by Wikipedia, and personally I'm less than impressed by the other sources currently being cited in the article. I'll see if I can find anything better, and ask that others do the same. [[User:AndyTheGrump|AndyTheGrump]] ([[User talk:AndyTheGrump|talk]]) 16:43, 25 April 2024 (UTC) |

:::The Daily Express has pictures of most of the first page of the Coroner's report which is why I selected it as a source. If you need anything from me please let me know. As mentioned before I have the Coroner's Report, but I also have the emails from '''Luis Camara''' Deputy Head of Mission and Consul from the Embassy of Portugal obtained by 9news in terms of The Freedom of Information Act. I appreciate all the assistance I'm receiving and I apologise if I'm not very knowledgeable navigating Wikipedia. As the location of my daughter's death remains controversial due to the government of Dubai's denial all I want to do is provide a referral to very relevant evidence as to the location of her death.

::::Per Wikipedia policy, we cannot cite emails, a coroners' report (if that is what it is - it says it is a "medical forensic report"), or other documents you have in your personal possession: we only cite published material. Frankly though I can't see what the issue is anyway, since the article currently states that the Dubai police's claim regarding the location of the incident was disproven.

It seems the height does not match up with the statements said. 561 meters is ~1840 ft. [[User:Utaninja|Utaninja]] ([[User talk:Utaninja|talk]]) 08:38, 6 March 2024 (UTC) |

Real estate values?
