List of tallest buildings and structures in Tokyo

edit

I have been working on this list for quite awhile. I overhauled it substantially a few months ago and have been tweaking it ever since. Based off of similar tallest buildings featured lists, I think it meets all FL criteria: it's comprehensive, stable, well-referenced, well-organized, useful, and complete. Let me know of any concerns so I can address them ASAP! --TorsodogTalk 17:27, 23 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Prose
  • More doubling the height of Japan's previous tallest building—the 17-story Hotel New Otani Tokyo—the Kasumigaseki Building is regarded as Japan's first modern high-rise building, rising 36 stories and 156 metres (512 ft) in height. - Remove More and start the sentence with "Doubling"
  • Oops, weird typo. Corrected.
  • A 610-metre-tall (2,003 ft) tower known as the Tokyo Sky Tree is also under construction in the city. - comma before known and after Tree
  • Done.
  • When completed, the structure's height will surpass Tokyo Tower's by 277 metres (909 ft) making it the tallest free standing structure in Tokyo and Japan. - comma before making
  • Done.
  • This list of the tallest buildings and structures in Tokyo ranks skyscrapers and free-standing structures in the prefecture of Tokyo, Japan by height. - FL's are discouraged to begin as "This is a list of ____" or "This list of _____"
  • The tallest structure in Tokyo is Tokyo Tower, a lattice tower that rises 332.6 metres (1,091 ft) in Minato and was completed in 1958 - and was should be , which was (notice the comma)
  • Done.
Tables/List
  • This height includes spires and architectural details but does not include antenna masts. - comma before but
  • Since the second clause after the but is not independent, I don't think a comma should be used here. Also, I copied directly from other FLs (e.g. Vancouver).
  • Although a link is present, a small sentence should be given to explain what Ward means in the prose.
  • Tallest all residential building in Tokyo and Japan. - is the all suppose to be there?
  • Yes, though I think it should probably be "all-residential" (as in it is the tallest building that is completely devoted to residential housing).
  • The notes like 16th-tallest building in Japan. - need to have the full stops removed because they are not complete sentences and are fragments.
  • I was a bit confused on the rule here because other FLs kind of change what they use. Thanks for letting me know though! All removed.
  • Tallest free-standing steel structure in the world. 20th-tallest tower in the world. Tallest structure in Japan. Tallest structure in Tokyo. - these type of notes should either be in a full sentence format or need to be separated with commas/semi-colons
  • I opted for the semicolon.
  • In the first section, one of the images needs to be removed because it leaves too much white space in between the next section
  • Image caption: The Kasumigaseki Building was the first modern office skyscraper to be built in Tokyo and was the city's tallest building until 1970. - well when did it first become the tallest building?
  • Added year built.
  • The existing structures in the first section should sort by rank in the same way the others do, like using the {{sort}} template, have it sort according to its height with the others in the # column.
  • Wow, I didn't even realize this! It got all messed up when I threw those pesky mdashes in. Thanks and fixed.
  • The reflist was too long with only one column, but I did removed the 3 in favor of 2 columns instead.
Thanks for all the help! I still have to go back and add a few things to the prose (namely reword the first paragraph and add the bit about what wards are), but other than that I think I addressed all of your other points. Let me know if you have any thing else! --TorsodogTalk 19:47, 24 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
My comment about the intro sentence that states "This list of ____" needs to be addressed. Once you're done with the prose comments, notify me.--TRUCO 00:38, 25 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Support, all issues resolved. Dabomb87 (talk) 23:56, 30 January 2009 (UTC) [reply]
Resolved issues, Dabomb87 (talk)

We don't start lists out as "this is a list of..." anymore. Take a look at List of tallest buildings in Vancouver for a suggestion. Also, in the title, "structures" seems redundant and isn't consistent with other similar lists. Dabomb87 (talk) 22:24, 23 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Odd, almost all of the tallest buildings FLs start out with the "this is a list of...", but I will happily change it. Also, the structures portion is consistent with lists for cities that contain tall structures. See:London, Salford and Manchester. If this is also changed for some reason, however, let me know. --TorsodogTalk 22:48, 23 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
We have moved away from that robotic repetition of the article's subject in the past half-year, most of those tallest-building FLs were promoted before. On your second point, no need to change it if it is consistent with others. Dabomb87 (talk) 02:34, 24 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Ah, I see. Well I've switched up the first paragraph quite a bit and added a few more bits into the lead. I hope this addresses your concern! --TorsodogTalk 02:49, 27 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

  • "second tallest overall structure"-->second-tallest overall structure
  • "Overall, of the 25 tallest buildings and structures in Japan, 18 are located in Tokyo."
  • "height limit of 31 metres until 1963 when " Comma after "1963".
  • "in favor of a floor area ratio" Shouldn't it be "Floor Area Ratio"?
  • "Doubling the height "-->Double the height
  • "Tokyo is broken into two sections" I think "divided" would be better here.
  • "are located within"
  • "tallest free standing structure"-->tallest free-standing structure
  • Add a note about the equal signs in the list, as in List of tallest buildings in Vancouver.
  • "42th-tallest building in Japan"-->42nd-tallest building in Japan
  • "42st-tallest building in Japan"-->42nd-tallest building in Japan Dabomb87 (talk) 14:32, 28 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
