Spam edit fixing
A spam edit added a lot of info and in a rare event even bare url references but removed some old info and messed up the format. It needed work anyway. B137 (talk) 23:06, 5 August 2015 (UTC)


 * It's old news now I'm not sure if it's worth mentioning that the building was empty until the law firm moved in in January 2011. It reflects on the economy of the time. Now it just goes into a tenant list with no mention that the building went through hard times. B137 (talk) 00:54, 6 August 2015 (UTC)

100th tallest
I know there is sort of a convention that when a building is on a "list of tallest" list (and so many of these have been conformed to meet a standardized "featured" format that includes all buildings having an article) to name where it ranks on the list in its individual article, just like how some of the tallest in a city list will mention their national or world ranking. However, these tend to be inaccurate as they are so often out of date. Before I fixed the spam, this article still said it was the 88th-tallest in the city, when it now is apparently the 100th; at what point does this ranking become trite?

 * I suppose the ranking stops mattering when the ranking goes higher than 100, because it would then no longer be on the list of tallest buildings in New York City. Epic Genius (talk) 15:28, 7 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Yes it would as long as they are at least 600 feet tall. And I'm talking about all the buildings linked from that list except maybe the top five. B137 (talk) 20:02, 7 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Oh, I see what you mean. After #20 or so, the ranking basically stops mattering to most people, because if 11 Times Square is 100th tallest, then there are 99 buildings taller than it. That is not a very great distinction when NYC has literally hundreds of skyscrapers. Epic Genius (talk) 20:45, 7 August 2015 (UTC)


 * Yeah, it's a double edged sword, though. In a smaller city being ~20th tallest doesn't mean much, but in NYC which is famous for skyscrapers, 20th out of the massive total is significant. But at the same time in such a city these rankings change so often that unless there were some sort of code or template to automatically update the rankings everywhere they appear, they should not be mentioned after five or ten.

 * In that case, maybe we should remove the rankings for this page. As for the top 10 tallest buildings, maybe a template could be added, but I haven't worked the kinks of that one out yet. Epic Genius (talk) 00:19, 8 August 2015 (UTC)
