Please mark estimate as estimates.

And, please, again, calculate your own estimates and not just use emporis.com. They have a one-size-fits-all formula that is less accurate than it is accurate. YOU know better if a building is shorter or taller than a nearby building, so YOU calculate the estimate. I can almost always tell when someone is using a emporis.com estimate before I even go to the building's page, because it's often weirdly specific. I won't be adding even estimates from Emporis.com if I recognize they will come from. Google Earth is also a great way to estimate heights if you have no idea how tall something is. But, generally, newer buildings will have taller floors than older buildings, office building will have taller floors than hotels which will have taller floors than residential buildings, luxury towers will have taller floors than affordable and public housing towers, etc...

BTW, same thing goes for building facts. I don't just want you copying-and-pasting them from sources. Reword them.
