List of tallest buildings and structures in Tokyo
I have been working on this list for quite awhile. I overhauled it substantially a few months ago and have been tweaking it ever since. Based off of similar tallest buildings featured lists, I think it meets all FL criteria: it's comprehensive, stable, well-referenced, well-organized, useful, and complete. Let me know of any concerns so I can address them ASAP! --TorsodogTalk 17:27, 23 January 2009 (UTC)

Comments from 
 * Prose
 * More doubling the height of Japan's previous tallest building—the 17-story Hotel New Otani Tokyo—the Kasumigaseki Building is regarded as Japan's first modern high-rise building, rising 36 stories and 156 metres (512 ft) in height. - Remove More and start the sentence with "Doubling"
 * Oops, weird typo. Corrected.


 * A 610-metre-tall (2,003 ft) tower known as the Tokyo Sky Tree is also under construction in the city. - comma before known and after Tree
 * Done.


 * When completed, the structure's height will surpass Tokyo Tower's by 277 metres (909 ft) making it the tallest free standing structure in Tokyo and Japan. - comma before making
 * Done.


 * This list of the tallest buildings and structures in Tokyo ranks skyscrapers and free-standing structures in the prefecture of Tokyo, Japan by height. - FL's are discouraged to begin as "This is a list of ____" or "This list of _____"
 * The tallest structure in Tokyo is Tokyo Tower, a lattice tower that rises 332.6 metres (1,091 ft) in Minato and was completed in 1958 - and was should be , which was (notice the comma)
 * Done.


 * Tables/List
 * This height includes spires and architectural details but does not include antenna masts.  - comma before but
 * Since the second clause after the but is not independent, I don't think a comma should be used here. Also, I copied directly from other FLs (e.g. Vancouver).


 * Although a link is present, a small sentence should be given to explain what Ward means in the prose.
 * Tallest all residential building in Tokyo and Japan. - is the all suppose to be there?
 * Yes, though I think it should probably be "all-residential" (as in it is the tallest building that is completely devoted to residential housing).


 * The notes like 16th-tallest building in Japan. - need to have the full stops removed because they are not complete sentences and are fragments.
 * I was a bit confused on the rule here because other FLs kind of change what they use. Thanks for letting me know though! All removed.


 * Tallest free-standing steel structure in the world. 20th-tallest tower in the world. Tallest structure in Japan. Tallest structure in Tokyo. - these type of notes should either be in a full sentence format or need to be separated with commas/semi-colons
 * I opted for the semicolon.


 * In the first section, one of the images needs to be removed because it leaves too much white space in between the next section
 * This is really very dependent on your resolution. In the resolution I use, they fit perfectly, much like the List of tallest buildings in Vancouver.


 * Image caption: The Kasumigaseki Building was the first modern office skyscraper to be built in Tokyo and was the city's tallest building until 1970. - well when did it first become the tallest building?
 * Added year built.


 * The existing structures in the first section should sort by rank in the same way the others do, like using the sort template, have it sort according to its height with the others in the # column.
 * Wow, I didn't even realize this! It got all messed up when I threw those pesky mdashes in. Thanks and fixed.


 * I would make the references into one column because not all browsers support 3 columns, see reflist.-- TRU    CO   22:43, 23 January 2009 (UTC)
 * The reflist was too long with only one column, but I did removed the 3 in favor of 2 columns instead.


 * Thanks for all the help! I still have to go back and add a few things to the prose (namely reword the first paragraph and add the bit about what wards are), but other than that I think I addressed all of your other points. Let me know if you have any thing else! --TorsodogTalk 19:47, 24 January 2009 (UTC)
 * My comment about the intro sentence that states "This list of ____" needs to be addressed. Once you're done with the prose comments, notify me.-- TRU    CO   00:38, 25 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Support - problems fixed to meet WP:WIAFL. TRU    CO   22:48, 26 January 2009 (UTC)

Support, all issues resolved. Dabomb87 (talk) 23:56, 30 January 2009 (UTC)

Sources
 * Quite a few of the sources need publisher information. Examples only: Refs 93, 95, 99, 100.
 * Ref 104, add  to the citation template.
 * Added PDF tags. Removed refs in question in favor of more reliable sources with publishers. --TorsodogTalk 17:11, 28 January 2009 (UTC)
