[edit] Some Comments

This is a great list. I think it is almost ready to be a FL, and I be glad to assist in any way possible with this. However, I am wondering, why are buildings under 400 ft included? To be consistent with other building lists, and also to remove a lrage number of this list's redlinks, I think that any building under 400 ft should be removed. The list is already extremely long without them. This article won't get approved as an FL unless all links are blue (as buildings are considered worthy of individual articles), so removing the shorter buildings is a start.

Has creating a separate "List of tallest buildings in Oakland" been considered? Since all but 3 of the built and proposed buildings are in Oakland, this seems to make the most sense, as this list is already extremely long, and the information is relevant enough to warrant its own list. Then this list could also move to the more spceific name of "List of tallest buildings in San Francisco".

For the floor counts, I think that sticking with what the official website says is what should be included. Primary sources are more reliable than Emporis, which is wrong often.

I would suggest renaming the "Completed" section "Tallest buildings", to accomodtae topped out buildings.

In general, if height figures are not known, then they should not be included on a "tallest buildings" list.

Why are there expansion and clean-up tags? It certainly doesn't need clean-up, and if anuthing, the list is too long.

Some of the notes could be trimmed down. Ifthey are repetitive or irrelevant to the buildoing's height, then they should be removed.

Clearly, there has been a lot of work recently on this list, so I'll wait to hear the responses of other editors before changing the information. Raime 21:12, 29 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Large empty space in Tallest buildings section

There is a large empty space below the table for the tallest buildings. It is being caused by two images on the right-hand side. I propose those two image be removed to remove the empty space. But first, I wanted to see if this problem is also on other screens. Leitmanp (talk | contributions) 21:00, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

Now that we no longer use image sizings of 200px per the Portland list's FLC, I think only one image needs to be removed. I took out Image:Img338450FremontCenter.JPG of 50 Fremont Center, as we probably don't need representations of both of the city's 6th-tallest buildings. Comments?

That is good. Now it fits perfectly. Leitmanp (talk | contributions) 22:29, 9 March 2008 (UTC)
