Plurality

The Spheres are referred to in the plural in the first paragraph ("The Amazon Spheres are..."), but in the singular in the second ("It consists of..."). Then again in the singular ("The building..."). Not sure what's correct. ☆ Bri (talk) 01:38, 18 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Amazon's website and a few media outlets use the plural form, it seems. Sounder Bruce 01:58, 18 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Nomenclature

Rgd this revert ... I think the nickname noted by The Guardian probably did come from local sources. Compare to appellation in The Stranger or City Arts. Remember WP:NOTCENSORED. ☆ Bri (talk) 03:37, 18 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

In that case, I'd rather use the original source or something more up to date. The Guardian source is fine for the early design details, but is years out of date. Sounder Bruce 03:49, 18 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
