Steps

[edit]

The official website has 1,665. 327 + 347 + (991) = 1,665.

It says 1,802 when opened. 360 + 380 + 1,062 = 1,802. Implies only one change: in 1983. https://www.toureiffel.paris/en/news/visit/take-stairs-and-discover-eiffel-tower-new-way

Many sites say it opened with 1,710.

No site (that I could find) reliably cites 1,792.

One with 1,792, has a typo (in a different spot: 564, should be 364). It says changes were made in 1900. https://www.wonders-of-the-world.net/Eiffel-Tower/Renovations-of-the-Eiffel-tower.php

No site (that I could find) could tell me when the third level stairs were closed to the public. But 1900 seems likely.

Note: there are 3 posts in Archives asking about Steps.

I’m here now and used the stairs to 2nd floor. There are 690 steps to ger here (it is marked along the way), please fix it in the article as I cannot do it (it’s still protected). Thank you. 95.81.168.176 (talk) 16:50, 16 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Rust and current condition

[edit]

I have one photograph of rust to contribute, and basing this on articles: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/jul/04/eiffel-tower-riddled-with-rust-and-in-need-of-repair-leaked-reports-say tells the eiffel tower needs urgent repairs, citing a report of 884 faults. Unfortunately me, even being a member of the German wikipedia branch for more than 20 years with various (mostly small edits), cannot edit the article here.

Building chronological question

[edit]

Hello, since I have not entered it, I don't know the origin. There are, amongst others, two photos of the building fase. The building dates of the first platform and onto the second seem to be reversed. As I read it as it is, they started with the second stage 5 days before they completed the first platform.

Erika Eiffel

[edit]

I think Erika Eiffel, a woman who got married to the Eiffel Tower in 2007, should be mentioned in the article, perhaps even in the infobox listed as spouse. Jornmann32 (talk) 21:09, 8 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Change: “The tower is 330 metres (1,083 ft) tall,…”

To this: “The tower itself stands 300 meters (984 feet) high. It rests on a base that is 5 meters (17 feet) tall, and the TV antenna atop the tower gives it a total elevation of 330 meters (1,083 feet)”

You can provide a sentence that is not a copy of what is given in the encyclopedia but has all the points included. Warriorglance(talk to me) 14:25, 24 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
