[edit] All towers above 100 meters ?

I've seen that people have decided to enlarge the list. That's rather a good move however, I'm not sure it's necessary a good idea to enlarge the list to all highrise buildings over 100 meters. Indeed, in Paris alone, there are 63 buildings which are above that height (See: List of tallest buildings and structures in the Paris region). According to Emporis, there are at least 600 buildings above 100 meters in the whole Europe, and I haven't counted them all.

All this to say that I don't believe it's such a good idea to go below the limit of 140 meters, which is the one of the French wikipedia, obviously being the source of this list. That's why if no one complains, I'll erase from it all buildings below 140 meters which have been added by different users. Metropolitan 16:44, 4 november 2006 (UTC).

There are much more than 600 buildings over 100 meters in Europe. Also this list is made in French! Translation is needed for many towers. It is also usual that skyscraper means the 150m+/500ft+ building. I think the list could be cut to this limit. Elk Salmon 17:52, 4 November 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for having answered so fast. Actually, after having checked the list again, I realized that it's actually about the 100 tallest buildings. I do believe that 100 buildings is a good figure for a comprehensive list, so I don't believe there's a need to remove more highrise buildings of it. However, you're indeed right, there's still a lot of French in the list and a cleaner translation should be made. Moreover, the list could look a bit better. I believe it wouldn't be that bad for instance to add little flags representing the countries in which they are built. Anyway, I don't have the time to take care about this for now, but I'll try to work on it later. Metropolitan 17:11, 4 november 2006 (UTC).
LUCPOL version says it's 100m+. If adding 100m+ then the list will contant hundreds, if not thousands, buildings. In my opinion 150m+ mark will be most relevant for the list. Still it is about skyscrapers. Elk Salmon 00:18, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

See: Category:Skyscrapers by height and Category:Skyscrapers between 100 and 149 meters. Skyscrapers > 100 m is OK ;) LUCPOL 21:17, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Metro's list

I'm sorry. But this list is totally unaccabtable. It is contain predefined number that will make list upgrading work as equal to hell. By the way. I have been updated some names and added some buildings, which you removed now... Elk Salmon 01:53, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

Too late right now. But i will work on this tommorow. First of all - it is narrow copypast from Emporis. Such things not really welcome here. Names should updated, rank number removed, heights should be change to more exact with points etc. Elk Salmon 02:16, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

Metro, this list is not necessary. The complete table will contain thousands of records, so the page will be over 64kb. Such information about every small highriser is absolutely useless and unnecessary here. Elk Salmon 06:39, 15 November 2006 (UTC)
I am different sentence. Data are necessary. LUCPOL 11:30, 15 November 2006 (UTC)
Do you realize that the table will contain thousand records? Elk Salmon 20:40, 15 November 2006 (UTC)
Plus - how a usual highriser could be necessary? Elk Salmon 20:41, 15 November 2006 (UTC)
You transplant. Let schedule be becomes developed, it later will decide or to leave in article compartment 150m - x, 125m - x or 100m - x. LUCPOL 21:10, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Turkish buildings

I've removed the buildings listed as being in Izmir, Mersin, Konya, and Ankara, since those cities are not in Europe. Some of the entries for Istanbul may also need to be removed, depending on what side of the strait they are on. —Psychonaut 10:27, 22 December 2006 (UTC)

The Turkish buildings currently on the list are all located in Istanbul's European side. Flavius Belisarius 21:32, 16 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Churches&Cathedrals

What about tall churches, such as Ulm Münster? Some are pretty tall, up to 160 meters.

This list is for buildings only. Elk Salmon 19:28, 30 December 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Usce tower, Belgrade

I removed this building from the list because it has only 25 storeys and, as such, can't logically be 141m tall. With the antenna maybe, but then we would have to put Commerzbank in Frankfurt to n.1. (300m with the antenna) ~~Vjeko~~

[edit] Warsaw

I updated and corrected the buildings in Warsaw, all above 140 m. --xRiffRaffx 16:19, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

Rondo 1 B was already in the list. Its height is 159m. Antennas are not being counted. Heights are by architectural tip. Elk Salmon 12:05, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
All other towers was already in the list. Reverted edits. Elk Salmon 12:16, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Canary Wharf

There's a picture of The City yet not the considerably higher Canary Wharf...?

[edit] Istanbul

Buildings of Istanbul were once on the list (I checked them out and they were all located on the European part of the city) but somehow they were deleted.

Either let's remove anything related to Istanbul in the article (including the wording and picture) or add the city's buildings to the list.

Might I remind you that Russia is also not a member of the EU, while Moscow's buildings are on the list. Flavius Belisarius 13:43, 16 August 2007 (UTC)

I am for adding buildings from European part back to the list. --Jklamo 11:52, 21 August 2007 (UTC)
All buildings in the list are from the European part of Istanbul. The tallest building on the Asian side of Istanbul is the Kozyatağı Business Center (119m, 30 floors) (Emporis: Kozyatağı Business Center) which can't even make it to the 140m+ list. Flavius Belisarius 13:28, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Revert wars

Please stop revert wars in article and start discussion. User:LUCPOL please explain us, WHY you see User:Keizuko´s edits problematic instead of reverting it without any reason in edit summary. --Jklamo (talk) 10:16, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Rank

Is it worth adding a new column to the table(s) to assert rank? It's clear to see the top five (or so) tallest buildings, but it's a bit hazy after that. Are there any guidelines over this, or should I go about doing it? Booglamay (talk) 20:44, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

There is a kind of guideline at Wikipedia:WikiProject Skyscrapers/Tallest building lists, but it is city based. Ranking column is useful for viewer, but in a dynamic list like that it is a kind of editor hell to add new building near the top of the list, because recalculation of lower rankings is needed (there are now 119 rows in the main list). --Jklamo (talk) 15:41, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] thehighrisepages.de

[1] this is a page emporis refer to with many projects. it's a personal page of some german teen, where lots of data was obviously taken out of head and does not meet on official available data at all. that's include sparrow hills project. Elk Salmon (talk) 17:50, 20 April 2008 (UTC) As of avenue,77 - you linked page to House on Begovaya [2] project... This is a project built by different company and located some 20 kilometers away from avenue, 77. The height is 135,7m (3 levels lower and without tall 5-6m floors at base as on avenue,77) therefore it's not included in list. Elk Salmon (talk) 18:07, 20 April 2008 (UTC)
