I did a bit of copyediting, and added a bit of info about the location. I also removed the "cleanup" template; the article looks good to me, and the person who left the "cleanup" tempalte didn't offer any specific complains. If anyone believes this article needs further cleanup, please leave a note here about the details. -- Mikeblas 20:45, 9 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Transamerica Pyramid.JPG (close-up)
My personal opinion is that this new picture doesn't add anything to the article, and really isn't a good image in its own right. Is it really needed therefore? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Rodge500 (talk • contribs) July 13, 2006 18:17:40 (UTC)
- I agree. If it were at least a photograph of the exterior of the entrance, that would be more interesting. —Joseph/N328KF (Talk) 18:30, 13 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Transamerica Pyramid height
Actually it is not the tallest building in SF; that goes to the BofA building just up the street on Montgomery. The BofA building was the considered Al Qaeda target (and likely rejected because it doesn't stand much above other surrounding buldings). --enm 23:00, 27 Dec 2006 (UTC)
- The BofA building is the second highest building in San Francisco, standing at 779 feet.--999mal 07:13, 25 March 2007 (UTC)
Here is a source stating that the transamerica pyramid is the largest: http://www.sfgov.org/site/visitor_index.asp?id=8088 williameis 13:13, 18 June 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:GTA SA Transam pyramid.jpg
Image:GTA SA Transam pyramid.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
