Default Wikipedia

I am an avid editor of the English-language Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org), and lament its poor coverage of Israel-related topics, especially topics about Israeli architecture, buildings, infrastructure, etc.

Therefore I would like to ask for your help to come up with a few decent articles. For now, I would like to work on the following two articles which I have started:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sail_Tower
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/YOO_Towers

I will appreciate information on these topics, such as what company built them, what purpose they serve, etc. I know this information, more or less, but would appreciate a more knowledgeable user's help.

The info is probably readily available in Hebrew, but for me Hebrew is like Japanese, I can speak it but when there are large texts I read very slowly.

Thanks in advance,
Ynhockey.

Good to see these sorts of things in Wikipedia, thanks for doing that! I'll try finding some info on the Sail tower for you.

Livni, Emporis info appears in the form of an external link for both articles.

This information however is not a unique creation but a multitude of facts, which can also be found in other places (i.e. Emporis did not invent this information). Therefore it is not plagiarism or anything.

But as I said, I would appreciate any other information you have on the towers so that the articles are not indeed elaborate sentences made up of hard facts from Emporis.

The height information (including the decimal place) was taken from the Hebrew-language Wikipedia, although there are other sites with this info, I have quickly found this one: http://www.urbanplanet.org/forums/lo...php/t4444.html on Google.

And thanks XShAkEl
