Template talk:Buildings west of Mississippi timeline

Chrono order
This list would be more useful if it were in chrono order (afterall it has "timeline" io the name).Thanks. Americasroof (talk) 02:29, 23 July 2010 (UTC)
 * i'm not sure what you mean....it is in chronological order...isn't it? --emerson7 04:22, 23 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Thanks. I guess it was just two buildings (one of which I was looking to add something) which needed to be flipped which I did.Americasroof (talk) 11:04, 23 July 2010 (UTC)
 * actually the order should be by height and date. if smith tower (1914/141m) was completed earlier and is taller than the pacbell building (1925/133m)....the pacbell building should not be in the template at all. --emerson7 22:48, 23 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the eagle eye. I was myopic on focusing on one building.  P.S. Nice to be looking at something other than Deepwater for a change ;-) Americasroof (talk) 01:08, 24 July 2010 (UTC)

Contradictions
The list seems to be inconsistent with the listed heights. Usually it lists roof height, with some exceptions:
 * Central Tower says 91 m, article says it was 96 m at the time and reduced in 1938
 * Mercantile National Bank Building lists its clock tower height, article says its roof height is actually 131.1 m (not tall enough to be listed)
 * "Republic Center" lists the spire height of Republic Center Tower I; its roof height is actually 138 m (not tall enough to be listed)
 * Sheraton Dallas Hotel says it's 183 m, which contradicts the article's 550 ft

The list should probably look more like: "Central Tower (96 m) (1898)· Smith Tower (141 m) (1914)· Kansas City Power and Light Building (145.1 m) (1931)· Sheraton Dallas Hotel (170 m) (1959)· ExxonMobil Building (185 m) (1963)· Elm Place (191 m) (1965)· 555 California Street (237 m) (1969)· Transamerica Pyramid (260 m) (1972)· Aon Center (262 m) (1973)· JPMorgan Chase Tower (305 m) (1982)· U.S. Bank Tower (310 m) (1990)"
