List of tallest buildings in Seattle[edit]

Self-nomination. Another tallest building list, modeled after FLs such as List of tallest buildings in Minneapolis and List of tallest buildings in Pittsburgh. I have been working with Raime to bring this list up to FL standards, and I think it has a litte bit of work to do, but the mistakes can be found here. I believe it to meet all FL criteria, in that it is comprehensive, stable, well-referenced, well-organized, useful, and complete. As always, any concerns brought up here will be addressed.

  • Perhaps the first sentence could be better phrased like: "This is a list of the tallest buildings by height."
  • "19 of the 20 tallest building in Washington are located in Seattle." Reference? Also, don't start a sentence with a number; write it out.
  • The second paragraph has two notes and no references. It needs them.
  • "Seattle is currently going throw a small building that began in 2000 and has seen two building over 500ft rise." I don't really understand this sentence. Definitely ungrammatical, though.
  • Use   for compound information. For example, "22 buildings", "43 floor", and so on.
  • The image directly below the lead seems somewhat misplaced, and it isn't under any heading. Maybe you can incorporate into the article somewhere else?
  • "This lists skyscrapers that are under construction in Seattle and planned to rise over 400 ft (122 m)...." "planned to rise" is ungrammatical. This occurs in "Under construction", "Approved", and "Proposed"

I think that's all for now. Noble Story (talk) 12:11, 2 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I fixed most of the prombles you brought up. According to Wikipedia:WikiProject Skyscrapers/Tallest building lists all skyscraper list are supposed to begin with This list of tallest buildings in CITYNAME ranks skyscrapers in CITYNAME, STATENAME by height. Also about the panoram image, all skyscraper list are like this. What do you mean about compound information? Do you mean 76 floors insr=tead of 76-floors?

For non-breaking spaces, I mean that all compound information should look like this in the edit box: 76 floors. Noble Story (talk) 06:17, 3 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Alaskan assasin, Noble Story is referring to the placement of   between numerical and non-nunerical text. For example, 43 floors. See WP:NBSP.
  • And  Done - I have added non-breaking spaces where appropriate. I also copyedited the lead to correct any more grammatical errors, corrected information about the "first skyscraper in the city" in the lead, added references, and made some minor formatting and wikilinking adjustments througout. I now believe that the list is fully "ready" and up to FL standards. Cheers, Rai•me 19:32, 3 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • The third paragraph of the intro starts off talking about the building boom that started in 2000 with 22 buidings over 400 ft being built, proposed, etc. However, the middle of the second paragraph already talks about the current building boom and mentions 20 expected skyscrapers reaching more than 300 feet. This repetitive and somewhat contradictory information needs to be integrated into a single paragraph. Once that is complete, I can put my support being the nomination.

    •  Done - Thanks for catching that. The information in the 2nd paragraph wasn't even correct, so I removed that sentence. Cheers, Rai•me 22:52, 7 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support Thanks for fixing it. VerruckteDan (talk) 14:49, 11 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comments Very nice, you are getting very good at these tallest buildings lists. Next you should work on a Canadian city like Vancouver or Montreal.
  • Lists seem fine. The approved section said it includes the potential building rank, but it didn't. I removed that task and varied the lead structure. Assuming that's OK, support. Gimmetrow 01:41, 14 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
