Tallest building by continent (Africa)
Iconic tower in Cairo has topped out and it´s the tallest skyscraper in Africa (385 m /	1,263 ft). ¿Could someone update this sections?

 * To replace China to 🇭🇰 Hong Kong or 🇲🇴 Macau for Hong Kong and Macau entries. 219.76.24.198 (talk) 10:40, 30 November 2021 (UTC)

Not done for now: please establish a consensus for this alteration before using the template. OK. Having read carefully through all the linked threads, I can detect nothing even vaguely resembling a consensus. Absent that, an edit request is not the appropriate format for this change, as it is not likely to be uncontroversial. PianoDan (talk) 03:02, 1 December 2021 (UTC)
 * If even these couldn't be detected then may I know what you would expect? This isn't something controversial at all except among some Chinese or pro-Chinese editors. Thanks. 219.76.24.219 (talk) 11:54, 1 December 2021 (UTC)
 * This is controversial as the debate and article edits have been going on for years. Accusations about being Chinese or being pro-Chinese are irrelevant. I am neither and have repeatedly changed flags to China. It is the country and that's it. No other sub-national flags are used so neither Hong Kong nor Macau should be used. There are many special status sub-national (non-sovereign state) entities across the world. It is more logical, neutral and understandable for a lay reader to only have national flags included. Robynthehode (talk) 16:01, 1 December 2021 (UTC)
 * By doing so you are coincidentally sharing the same position with Beijing, which go so far to have fined foreign MNCs for showing what they called "non-countries" alongside "countries" according to their definition. This way of presentation, though just coincidental, may appear to be "more logical, neutral and understandable" to you but this is unlikely the established practice on Wikipedia and many other sources elsewhere. In entries of sport events or membership lists of international organisations on Wikipedia and elsewhere it is the common rule to list these countries alongside sovereign states. In other areas that's the rule too as long as these countries take care of those areas largely on their own or are nevertheless managed separately from those matters in their respective sovereign states. Encyclopaedias and all those publications aren't just for lay readers anyway. 219.76.24.207 (talk) 07:41, 4 December 2021 (UTC)
 * For others reading this discussion, (as it seems unlikely that it will sway the anonymous contributor who made the initial request) I'll point out that there is an official Wikipedia policy on use of flags in articles: WP:SOVEREIGNFLAG. Hong Kong and Macau are not sovereign states, and therefore do not meet WP criteria for flag inclusion in lists in most cases. PianoDan (talk) 16:06, 5 December 2021 (UTC)


 * In practice flags of countries are routinely used, from lists of countries by HDI, GDP, forex reserves, life expectancy, to lists of visa requirements by country of any particular passports, and medal tables in Olympics or Commonwealth games. What ought to be excluded are, e.g., states, provinces, laenders, cantons, départements, and so on and so forth. 219.76.24.197 (talk) 13:12, 6 December 2021 (UTC)

 * Agree. This list is currently a lone exception. Let's stick with the consensus on Wikipedia (which is in line with the general practice in publications in general). 219.76.24.193 (talk) 07:33, 7 December 2021 (UTC)

 * Sorry but I agree with the consensus. We should stick with the flag of China to make it simpler for everyone. Hong Kong isn't a separate nation.--RM (Be my friend) 10:45, 11 December 2021 (UTC)
 * No worries it's important to listen to many people and take into consideration many different views. But the word "country/ies" certainly isn't about "separate nation(s)". 219.76.24.214 (talk) 13:52, 12 December 2021 (UTC)
 * If you read across many different topics on Wikipedia you would probably find out countries which are sovereign states are in almost all cases listed on their own (unless that's something about very specific topics like the list of sovereign states). 219.76.24.216 (talk) 03:05, 14 December 2021 (UTC)


 * Some had suggested in the past keeping the word "city" for one of the columns, but to replace "country" with "location" for the next column. We may alternatively explore options like the one below.


 * 219.76.24.214 (talk) 13:52, 12 December 2021 (UTC)
 * I don't see that changing the title from "Location" to "Country" actually makes any difference - if the administrative unit in that list is sovereign states for everything else, then it should be the sovereign state for buildings in Hong Kong and Macao as well for consistency. Frankly, I don't understand your assertion that the word "country" doesn't refer to "separate nations". Those are literally synonyms. PianoDan (talk) 21:15, 13 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Cos they aren't. Apart from sovereign states there are countries like Bermuda, Curaçao, French Polynesia, Greenland, Puerto Rico. Sovereign states are a subset of countries. 219.76.24.216 (talk) 03:00, 14 December 2021 (UTC)


 * If you read many older materials (or have lived long enough) colonies are always regarded as something covered by the meaning of the word "countries". It's so happened that most of the remaining colonies are too insignificant in terms of area and population, and economically, and there are too few of them. 219.76.24.209 (talk) 12:41, 16 December 2021 (UTC)

Logic behind "western" hemisphere
There's a building listed as "tallest in western henisphere" What's the logic behind that definition? Planet Earth rotates on a ~vertical axis so it makes sense to divide it that way from the poles. But where's the dividing line to separate "east" from "west" if it rotates continuosly that way? 5.171.237.82 (talk) 21:07, 13 December 2021 (UTC)
 * While it is, of course, arbitrary, the dividing line is the prime meridian, and the corresponding meridian at 180 degrees E/W. See also Hemispheres of Earth. PianoDan (talk) 21:10, 13 December 2021 (UTC)


 * Would such a saying "tallest in western hemisphere" be often a reference to those skyscrapers or any other structures in the Americas? 219.76.24.207 (talk) 08:10, 26 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Colloquially, yes. While most of London, for example, is definitely in the Western hemisphere, "Western Hemisphere" is generally used in contexts where one wants to refer to the Americas.  Since the prime meridian bisects Europe, people generally don't describe Europe in terms of hemispheres. But this isn't terribly scientific or precise. PianoDan (talk) 01:54, 30 December 2021 (UTC)

Ping An Finance Center
In the photo gallery location is shown as Guangdong. That is the province name. The city is Shenzhen and should be shown as such.

Uncompleted buildings in the first list
There's a seperate list for buildings still under construction. Why is the Merdeka 118 included in the normal list? It may be topped out, but until its completion, it can't be used and it's just like any other planned construction.--2001:16B8:31E5:CD00:4091:3292:79AB:D8FA (talk) 20:09, 31 December 2021 (UTC)

Factually wrong lists
by displaying china for Hong Kong buildings, these lists are factually wrong.

now it would appear that Bank of China Tower and Central Plaza are the first buildings in china to get into the lists, but in 1990 and 1992 by some editors' logic here they were United Kingdom's buildings. RZuo (talk) 19:26, 11 February 2022 (UTC)


 * I don't understand your concern. Those entries reference Hong Kong as the city the buildings are in, China as the country the buildings are in, and 1990 and 1992 as the years those buildings were built. Which one of those facts are you contending is incorrect? Bartzyx (talk) 00:41, 12 February 2022 (UTC)


 * The first Chinese buildings to reach 1,150 feet were probably Shun Hing Square in 1996 and CITIC Plaza in 1997. 203.145.94.109 (talk) 14:27, 28 April 2022 (UTC)

Why is the CN Tower not in this list…..
The CN tower stands at 553m which is taller than the OWTC, yet it’s not on the list, the list says buildings, but there are other towers on this list.

Edit request
To add "/United Kingdom between (year of completion) and 1997" in the column for sovereign states in the entries of the BOC Tower and the Central Plaza, per suggestion to right above. 219.76.24.199 (talk) 02:31, 27 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Red information icon with gradient background.svg Not done for now: please establish a consensus for this alteration before using the template. It's unclear why this edit would be constructive. The buildings are not in the United Kingdom, nor were they ever in the United Kingdom. Buildings of that size do not move from one country to another. The buildings are and have always been in Hong Kong, which is currently recognized as a SAR of China. Bartzyx (talk) 22:32, 27 September 2022 (UTC)
 * those buildings were not in "🇨🇳China" either. to say that "they were built in 1990 in China" is factually wrong. RZuo (talk) 11:22, 28 September 2022 (UTC)
 * This list does not say they were built in any country. It gives the year the building was built, and what country it is in. Those buildings are in Hong Kong. If editors feel it is necessary to point out that Hong Kong was not a part of China when these buildings were built (which is of debatable relevance), then a note in the "notes" column may be appropriate. Bartzyx (talk) 21:38, 28 September 2022 (UTC)
 * how do you expect a reader to infer from these two points:
 * BOC tower was built in 1990
 * BOC tower is in China
 * that they would imply "BOC tower was built in 1990 but not built in China"?
 * any average reader would assume the building was built in the year given and in the country given in the table, because that's what this factually wrong list shows! RZuo (talk) 00:21, 29 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Are you sure your assumption is correct; i.e. every single Wikipedia reader will definitely imply your statement as sound according to the list?
 * The year of completion and location (country involved) are separate columns depicting separate contexts. The year of completion states the information upon the...year of completion, while the location refers to the present location of the skyscraper involved.
 * Again, a pointless politically-motivated argument. This issue has been a thing since the late-2000s in this particular list, and several consensuses have determined how the columns should've been depicted.
 * I give my full support on @Bartzyx's suggestion. It's logical to put a notation, rather than a complete alteration in the columns. We're only trying to notify that it was built while the place was under British administration rather than the Chinese. Having to rename the entire column would instead imply that British Hong Kong still exists in 2022, which isn't the case. Gavre C.W. Tan (al. PenangLion) (talk) 09:44, 29 September 2022 (UTC)
 * What? We are talking about the location column arent we? From their completion to 1997 these two buildings weren't there. 219.76.15.138 (talk) 13:01, 3 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Weren't where? Did the buildings move? The change of political boundaries does not change the location of a building. Regardless, it's 2022 now. How is the historical administrative status of Hong Kong relevant to this list? It's footnote-worthy, at best. Bartzyx (talk) 15:45, 3 October 2022 (UTC)
 * So what about adding a footnote? The whole thing would have been much easier if the column is indeed about countries as it's stated at the top and like many other Wikipedia lists do, rather than just sovereign states. 219.76.24.199 (talk) 07:16, 6 October 2022 (UTC)
 * These people will go on to argue the territory has always been part of China by parroting the official line. These people don't think they are . 219.76.24.199 (talk) 07:16, 6 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Exactly. Are these two the only buildings in such a situation? 219.76.15.138 (talk) 13:01, 3 October 2022 (UTC)

Add Toronto's CN Tower to the list of tallest buildings. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CN_Tower Kiccob (talk) 16:45, 25 November 2023 (UTC)

Pictures
The pictures are nice but probably don't need to be directly in the table. The tallest for each country could be kept along the righthand side - this would be 11 pictures, about the same height as the current 93 rows.

Having a table with only data in it would allow for about 30 entries to be viewed at once instead of just 5 or 6. Wizmut (talk) 11:08, 30 December 2023 (UTC)

Outdated Tables
The Alternative Measurements section is extremely flawed since it hasn't been updated due to lack of information such as Height to Occupied Floor, Height to Pinnacle, and Height to Roof. Is it possible that we either update the tables or even just remove it entirely? Bradycloud05 (talk) 15:06, 20 February 2024 (UTC)

This article does not include the CN Tower, built in 1976 in Toronto, Canada, which was the tallest free-standing building from 1976 until 2007. 205.189.94.70 (talk) 23:31, 26 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Red information icon with gradient background.svg Not done: The CN Tower is not a building by the definition provided at the very top of the article: Tall buildings, such as skyscrapers, are intended here as enclosed structures with continuously occupiable floors and a height of at least 340 metres (1,120 ft). Such definition excludes non-building structures, such as towers. You may be looking instead for List of tallest structures, linked at the top of the article, which does include the CN Tower.

Comcast Technology Center
The Comcast innovation and technology center in Philadelphia, PA should be the last building on the list as it is 1 foot taller than one shenzhen building. It stands 1121 feet tall. 2601:197:B7F:FC90:9442:E19E:A4EB:D53C (talk) 20:07, 29 August 2023 (UTC)


 * I likewise came here to ask why Philadelphia's Comcast Technology Center, which is 342 meters tall according to its article is not listed, while a building whose height is 341.7 meters is. The fact that nobody has responded to this section, which was added 98 days ago, makes me think people pay more attention to the article than the talk page. Perhaps I will be bold and add the CTC to the list. TypoBoy (talk) 21:28, 5 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Please do the article is still incorrect and CTC should be listed 2601:197:B7F:FC90:BD8E:A9EF:B10:BB1E (talk) 20:41, 9 March 2024 (UTC)

Column order
The two most important columns are the name and height. Overall the column order could be rearranged as:


 * (rank)
 * Name
 * Height m/ft
 * Floors / B
 * City
 * Country
 * Year
 * Coordinates (if kept at all, takes up lots of space for little value)
 * (note)

A map already shows where the very tallest buildings are, and each building's article has them as well. Wizmut (talk) 02:32, 1 January 2024 (UTC)


 * I removed the coordinates, so the table is about as squished as it's going to be. Please comment on how it looks so far.
 * Still need to move the number columns over and fix some alignment problems. Wizmut (talk) 13:14, 1 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Alright, I think that does it with all the table re-arranging. Hope y'all like it.

 * @Tgbsww Can you say why you think this version is an improvement over this version. Seems like the column order should prioritize height, and the row size should prioritize comparisons rather than thumbnails of fairly similar buildings. Wizmut (talk) 21:08, 25 March 2024 (UTC)
