[edit] Preposterous Anachronism
If mechanical clocks were invented some time between 1000AD and 1300AD, how are there Ancient Roman clock towers ? DCDuring 00:26, 27 August 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Pics of clock towers
If there's a need to collect all the pictures of clock towers, how about creating a category "Clock Tower", and then they can all be viewed within that category...? --Rebroad 18:55, 15 September 2005 (UTC)
Better yet, put them on Commons and add:

[edit] Instantood and Huaiwei Ban
Once again, continued reverts of each other, particularly with no discussion on the talk page, particularly when asked not to by other users editing the article will not be tolerated. This article is now added to the list.
[edit] Best-known?
I note that User:HenryLi has recently made this edit [1], resulting in the claim that a tower in HK is "one of the three world famous" with the likes of the Big Ben, the Rajabai Tower and the Spasskaya Tower. How accurate is this asertion, for it looks to me to be introducing too much local bias?--Huaiwei 11:42, 1 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit] The Clock Tower in Leicester
"The Clock Tower in Leicester, England, is a major landmark in the city, owing somewhat to the fact that it is the de rigueur meeting point in the city."
Is this really neccecary? I'd say that many other cities around the world have some clock towers as major landmarks and known meeting points, so I don't see the point mentioning just the clock tower of Leicester, other than as an example that clock towers may also serve as a meeting points and are usually major landmarks. And I would say that the clock tower of Leicester is a known meeting point because it is a known landmark. Not that it is a major landmark because it is a known meeting point.

[edit] Warsaw Palace of Culture
Were the clocks added to it in 2000 or 2004? Either this or the building's main entry is wrong. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by PennaBoy (talk • contribs) 02:56, 11 January 2007 (UTC).
[edit] Big Ben
Surely, there must be a picture of Big Ben? Tourskin 00:36, 5 May 2007 (UTC)
