List of tallest buildings in Columbus[edit]

Another tallest buildings list, modeled after FLs such as List of tallest buildings in Atlanta and List of tallest buildings in Minneapolis. I have been working in collaboration with Alaskan assassin and Hydrogen Iodide to bring this list up to FL standards, and I think it is now there. 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.

  • Support This looks good to me. Gary King (talk) 02:32, 27 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment the fourth column in the Timeline of tallest buildings section reverses feet and meters.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTM) 07:14, 27 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    • Fixed. Cheers, Rai•me 14:37, 27 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    • In the lead, link to the appropriate article in "caisson"
      • Done.
    • "Although no Columbus skyscrapers rank among..." should be changed to "Although no Columbus skyscraper ranks among..." or "Although none of the Columbus skyscrapers ranks among..."
      • Changed to the former.
    • In the "Tallest proposed" section, the asterisk note and the note under the "Notes" column are both very redundant. Take out one of them, preferable the one that's under the "Notes" column.
      • I agree, I removed the one in the "Notes" column.
    • Also in the "Tallest proposed" section, why do you use plural nouns when there's only one building in the list? Try this (or another grammatically acceptable variation): "This lists the skyscraper that is proposed for construction in Columbus and is planned to rise at least 250 feet (76 m) in height, but is not yet completed structures. A floor count of 20 stories is used as the cutoff in place of a height of 250 feet (76 m) because the building's height has not yet been released by their developers."
      • Done - changed to singular wording.
  • These are my only concerns.--Dem393 (talk) 21:21, 27 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    • Thanks for the review and cheers, Rai•me 01:57, 28 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
      • You're welcome! Good job on the list! Support--Dem393 (talk) 04:55, 28 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • No need for "both" in "However, there are two major high-rise reconstructions taking place in the city; both Eight on the Square and the Grange Mutual Companies Building are being renovated", as you say there are two
    • Done.
  • "This structure rose 13 stories and 180 feet (55 m) in height." I prefer "This structure stands", but it's not a big deal
    • Done.
  • Wikilink high-rise on its first use
    • It was wikilinked in the first sentence, but I removed the second instance of its wikilinking in the second paragraph of the lead.
  • Sort order needs fixing on Name and Street address for "Timeline of tallest buildings"
    • Done.

Another well written piece, otherwise. Matthewedwards (talk • contribs • email) 01:31, 28 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    • "fifth-tallest", but "second tallest"?
    • "are being renovated"—rather time-specific. Who's gonna repair it when they're no longer being renovated? As of?
    • Slashes should be unspaced.
    • "21="?
      • What about it? The equal signs are there because they are equal in height so they share the same rank. Leitmanp (talk | contributions) 00:15, 7 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    • Gratuitous table in "Tallest proposed". This type of table should be firmly discouraged. TONY (talk) 08:25, 6 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
      • I am sorry, but I do not know what you mean by this either. Are you referring to the list only having one entry or that it does not include the height? Leitmanp (talk | contributions) 00:15, 7 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
