Talk:List of tallest wooden buildings

I suggest that the list of tallest wooden buildings be capped fixed number. The table is growing quickly and some projects on the bottom might need to be removed. Perhaps to achieve this, there can be a rule that projects listed in the table must be under development, and we eliminating those projects that are proposals/designs. Several buildings in design phase may not break ground and may be causing a bias in the list. Lastly, perhaps it would be helpful to exclude any projects that are missing both the floor/height, as this is an indicator that the project status may be unreliable. Feedback and thoughts welcome.

Hi FFranzini. If the page is named List of tallest wooden buildings, then why do you thing that it shouldn't include churches? Isn't church a building? JohnnyWiki (talk) 21:12, 12 December 2018 (UTC)

This list is problematic. It's not sortable. It uses city flags instead of country flags which a quick glance makes it difficult to figure out where all the structures are. In includes structures that would not be traditionally be defined as "buildings" ie. structures that have occupiable floors all the way to the top. In short, it's a mess.

Comments
This is really a list of wooden structures, which is a larger category than buildings, and maybe should be renamed. In any case, I added the U.S. Navy Target Test Towers at its China Lake base in California, USA. https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Contextual_view_of_Buildings_70021_and_70022._facing_south_-_Naval_Ordnance_Test_Station_Inyokern,_Randsburg_Wash_Facility_Target_Test_Towers,_Tower_Road,_China_Lake,_Kern_County,_CA_HAER_CA-353-3.tif

Since it seems all of the towers with a higher height in the list no longer in existence. These two towers, which are still standing are the tallest on the list.

Note however that there is a standing tree that is tower. Does a tree count as a "wooden structure" and should it be added to the list? :-) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperion_(tree)#:~:text=Hyperion%20is%20a%20coast%20redwood,115.92%20m%20(380.3%20ft).&text=Hyperion%20was%20discovered%20on%20August,Chris%20Atkins%20and%20Michael%20Taylor. 2600:8802:D00:2B8:3404:BED:ACF0:58A7 (talk) 01:52, 10 February 2023 (UTC)

Name change
The name of the article should be changed into List of tallest wooden buildings and structures as most of the tallest man-made structures made of wood are from non-building type. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2003:DF:1F21:E666:6978:893F:E2F6:7E45 (talk) 05:57, 12 February 2023 (UTC)
