ALT text missing[edit]

The images featured in this list are missing ALT text that has recently become one of the points of the Featured list criteria. The list therefore fails 5b of the Featured list criteria and should have ALT text added to keep its status.--Diaa abdelmoneim (talk) 20:37, 28 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Missing tower[edit]

This list is missing the Harborplace Tower. It is not the same building as the old Legg Mason tower. -- Veggies (talk) 02:38, 7 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Table is Inconsistent[edit]

The table listing the tallest buildings in inconsistent. It has 414 Light Street listed as the tallest building, yet according to the numbers given in the height column, it should be the third tallest building. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Eric Haas (talk • contribs) 05:13, 24 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Featured List Review[edit]

Hi all, I'm nominating this page for featured list review.

Page is all over the place[edit]

Some of the heights may be wrong. Emporis shows the height as 351 ft, skyscraperpage, which is just a forum, says 360 and the last page says nothing at all. But there is nothing that says 360.5 ft. Sources aren't consistent either. The Baltimore Sun had 351 feet for the Marriott while Emporis had 430 ft. There are a bunch of missing buildings. I will do my best to move stuff around and find reliable sources but someone might have to see if what I do is even correct. I will look for a reliable source first. If none is readily available, I will revert to Emporis, which I know may be questionable. But its what I have. TastyPoutine ^{talk (if you dare)} 21:17, 24 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Meh, I don't know. Ended up using a lot of skyscraper center and emporis. I feel like there are big gaps in the sources, but can't really parse it out. I think its better than it was but would appreciate anyone who still cares about this page to review.TastyPoutine ^{talk (if you dare)} 04:47, 27 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I tried my best to edit the last paragraph of the History section. It was all over the place and if I remember it had extremely outdated facts about the "tallest residential building" which I corrected to 414 light, for the source for the height I used Skyscraper Center because Emporis didn't have any listings for 414. But yea I check back on this page frequently as I'm always keeping up with development news in my home city. Yaoiloverr (talk) 16:12, 1 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
