Topic: 1WTC name update BUR

Posted under Tag Alias and Implication Suggestions

The bulk update request #10817 is pending approval.

create alias one_wtc (0) -> one_world_trade_center (1)
create implication one_world_trade_center (1) -> landmark (140)
create implication one_world_trade_center (1) -> skyscraper (2403)
create implication one_world_trade_center (1) -> modern_architecture (470)

Reason:
(The main part duplicated topic #56045:)

Switch to the official (wikipedia) and now better-known (Google trends) name, plus implications for taggers' convenience.

Arguably the primary could be one_wtc for conciseness; I don't have a preference myself.

IIRC "Freedom Tower" was the name of the design when proposed and chosen, but the name was not actually used for the building afterwards. Searches for the specific building name "one world trade center" overtook "freedom tower" worldwide around 2015 and in the U.S. around 2020 .

I don't believe there are (currently) any TWYS ways to tag this without seeing the building from the outside, so I added landmark and skyscraper implications. I guess hypothetically some indoor location or vantage point might eventually become culturally recognizable enough to use for tagging...but that hasn't happened so far the way (say) the original WTC Observation Deck was, and it seems like a task for Future Us if and when it happens.

Nerd-sniped from topic #56027.

Updated

Actually, the Freedom Tower alias is already open over on this topic. Also, I think the implication to New York City ought to be left out as the One World Trade Center can be depicted in a way that doesn't show the city, such as if it were a souvenir statuette, used as a size comparison, or stolen by Carmen Sandiego.

Didn't I already create a BUR for this?

Whoops, sorry, I hadn't clicked through from the old thread because I thought it would just be that disambiguation part.

I'll support the other one, remove wtc and nyc, and leave the remaining here.
