List of tallest buildings in Indianapolis[edit]

Self-nomination, co-nom with HoosierStateTalk. Another tallest building list, modeled after FLs such as List of tallest buildings in Baltimore and List of tallest buildings in Columbus. I have been working with TheHoosierState89 to bring this list up to FL standards, and I think it is finally 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. Thanks, Rai•me 20:18, 10 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Support as a major contributor. Raime did excellent work in helping me finish this list and I think it has turned out great, definitely worthy of FL status. HoosierStateTalk 20:46, 10 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support, looks just like many other FL's. Cheers. Trance addict - Armin van Buuren - Oceanlab 21:02, 10 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment, the first and last lines of the last paragraph of the lead seem contradictory. "Indianapolis has been the site of very little high-rise construction since the construction boom ended in 1990" but 16 are currently under construction which seems more than a little. 18:29, 11 July 2008 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Rmhermen (talk • contribs)
    • Done, I have reworded the first sentence to state that the city has entered into a third high-rise construction boom. Considering that the city has only about 90 high-rises at present, 16 buildings proposed, approved or under construction is fairly substantial. Cheers, Rai•me 21:27, 11 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support — Good work, comparable to lists of other cities. But where do the Pyramids figure in on the list? JKBrooks85 (talk) 08:04, 12 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    • They would be well down the list. They're in the 150 feet range and this list only includes buildings at 200+ feet. HoosierStateTalk 20:29, 12 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comments

  • In the main table, the rank numbers are out of whack because the Soldiers' and Sailors' Monument isn't given a ranking. Shouldn't it be 15=? Or is it not ranked because it's not a building? If that's the case, perhaps Note B should say that's why it hasn't been ranked.
    • It isn't ranked because it is not a building; I expanded Note B to clarify this.
  • Make sure not to over-link feet and meters in the Lead section.
    • Done - removed the second instance of linking in the lead.
  • Sorting on Floors doesn't work after 3 clicks
    • This has been fixed with the addition of a floor count for the Soldiers' and Sailors' Monument.
