"Tallest building" citation

Latest comment: 4 days ago1 comment1 person in discussion

In the "Geography" section, a paragraph reads, "It is the only state that does not have any buildings taller than 124 feet (38 meters)." However, the very link embedded in this paragraph takes you to a site showing eleven buildings in Vermont which are taller than 124 feet. I suppose it's possible I'm missing something, since I've never submitted a Wiki edit before, but this seems obviously self-contradictory.

Furthermore, the footnote citation to an article in the Burlington Free Press has had its link removed, which leads me to believe there was some problem discovered when fact-checking. RSCJazz1 (talk) 15:10, 4 August 2026 (UTC)Reply
