[edit] Tower of the Americas

It passes both criteria as a building per the Wikipedia article. Also, Stratosphere Las Vegas is listed on List of tallest buildings in the United States. This is also from that article "This ranking is based on the building's height to its roof or pinnacle" pinnacle would be valid here. No, other editors didn't miss it by accident, they couldn't find the building, you didn't dig very deep to find this conversation:

Fine, but then this list should be labeled "Tallest buildings and structures in Texas". The definition of a building is very subjective, but in skyscraper terms, most building lists count buildings as only those that are fully habitable. However, if a city has a tall free-standing structure, it should certainly be included, but the lists be renamed to accomodate it. I think that the Stratosphere Tower should be removed from the United States building list, simply because it is not a building. And no, the pinnacle ranking is not valid here, in that it is not ranking buildings to their pinnacles, which include radio masts. Raime 22:59, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] One Shell Plaza

Shouldn't this be number two then? If you go by the same criteria that was used with the Tower of the Americas, then to its tip, One shell Plaza in Houston is 1000 feet.

[edit] Height measurement

The Height measurement listing should include an additional column for roof height. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Sdc905 (talk • contribs) 06:52, 12 November 2007 (UTC)
