I've added the 2nd and 3rd requests. Requests one needs the city first requested, and do you have a better source for the 4th structure requested? Perhaps, you should email the owner to get additional information.

EDIT: I've added the first one, now, too, as I was able to find information on the city. But, whenever a city doesn't exist in the database, it needs to be requested along with the building that needs to be added with that city.

- I've put the Veranópolis city request for 1st Tower.
- Regarding the 4th one, I do not have more information than photos and site www.skyscrapercity.com (http://www.skyscrapercity.com) as my sources. Belong to Television net of Pará and I can not make a telephone call from Germany. Maybe you can make better research that I do not find in Google.

-Regarding the Claro Tower, the facts are pretty different you put:
Your version: This transmission tower includes five platforms for communications equipment.
Better: It is situated in the axle of the geometrical composition and has basic importance in the project. She has five platforms of concrete with swingings of 4 m. Four of these platforms were raised for the placing of the antennas of transmission. On 5th located in intermediary level, it is closed by inclined windows for observation.

- In relation to TORRE PANORÂMICA CURITIBA. please put the drawing of http://skyscraperpage.com/cities/?buildingID=3593 into http://skyscraperpage.com/cities/?buildingID=62174 and delete the ID 3595. In ID 62174 include the other name TORRE MERCÊS and Roof Height 95m.
Hope answering you. Thanks :cheers:

A few things:

1. For the 4th request, it will need a more reliable source for the information before it can be added. At this time, it will not be added.

2. For Claro Tower your fact is a very poor translation and not easily understandable. I'll add, though, that the 5th platform has another use.

3. Torre Panorâmica Curitiba has been switched over, and the new entry deleted. This is why we ask you to check before you request buildings so we won't add them twice. However, I will not add the 95 meter height, as there is no source for it.
