This article has a link to "Floor 13", however, Floor 13 is a re-direct page. Can we fix this?? 66.245.17.129 14:55, 6 Apr 2004 (UTC)

What if...
the building that was added recently had a 15th floor?? Would they number it 13 or 14?? 66.245.102.55 22:47, 5 May 2004 (UTC)
Well I never knew this thing about missing the 13th floor in the US. Amazing. And you call us Brits crazy. Mintguy (T) 00:55, 5 Aug 2004 (UTC)
Thirteenth row
... ever been on a plane with a thirteenth row? :)
Almost identical paragraphs
From the article:
- In Hong Kong some buildings would omit 4th, 14th, 24th, etc floor as the number 4 sounds like death in Cantonese, but the rule is varied.
(...)
- Similarly, new buildings in some parts of China omit the fourth (as well as the 14th, 24th, etc.) floors, as the figure "four" sounds like "death" in Mandarin, the predominant dialect for the country, and most other Chinese dialects.
Pretty much the same info, but which of these two paragraphs should be gone? Does this just occur in Hong Kong or in China? Does it sound like death in Cantonese or in Mandarin? --Conti|✉ 19:12, Nov 1, 2004 (UTC)
Anaheim Hilton relevant?
The only hotel I've been to that does have a 13th floor but not a 10th floor.This is because the room numbers are used in telephone numbers and dialing "1" and "0" has unwanted effects.--Louis E./le@put.com/12.144.5.2 21:59, 22 Mar 2005 (UTC)
