List of tallest buildings in Mobile

 * Nominator(s): Rai • me  20:03, 12 August 2009 (UTC),  Altairisfar talk 

Self-nomination, co-nom with  Altairisfar talk . Another tallest building list, modeled after recently promoted lists such as List of tallest buildings in Las Vegas and List of tallest buildings in San Diego. I believe it to meet all the FL criteria in that it is comprehensive, stable, well-referenced, well-organized, useful, and complete. Any concerns brought up here will be addressed. Thanks! Cheers, Rai • me  20:03, 12 August 2009 (UTC)

Some comments I think this list is really good and only needs small changes to be featured.--Diaa abdelmoneim (talk) 20:31, 12 August 2009 (UTC)
 * "If completed, the two towers would rank among the tallest in the state." should be specific with a reference or removed completely.
 * Removed
 * "Upon its completion in 1965, the AmSouth Bank Building surpassed the height of the Regions Bank Building and became the tallest building in Alabama." needs a ref since the lead contains references all facts have to have references.
 * Done - added ref
 * "It held this title until 1986, when the 454-foot (138 m) SouthTrust Tower was completed in Birmingham, but remained the tallest building in Mobile until the 2007 completion of the RSA Battle House Tower." also needs a ref.
 * Done - added refs
 * Could u write in the caption of the panorama images which buildings are seen, from right to left or left to right?
 * Done
 * Mobile attractions could u include this list in the template?--Diaa abdelmoneim (talk) 20:40, 12 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Done, and I created Mobile skyscrapers to include in the list as well. Rai • me  01:59, 13 August 2009 (UTC)
 * There are four buildings that don't have an article in the list, could u add some notes about them?--Diaa abdelmoneim (talk) 20:31, 12 August 2009 (UTC)
 * The buildings don't really have any notable information other than the statistics already included in the table; if they did, they would probably have their own articles. Cheers, Rai • me  01:59, 13 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Using Object location could u do Wikimedia commons a favor and copy the coordinates to each image with available coordinates?
 * Done. Thanks for the review! Cheers, Rai • me  01:59, 13 August 2009 (UTC)

Support, great work...Just another thing I wanted to propose, how about making an svg image of http://skyscraperpage.com/diagrams/?cityID=182 that only shows the outline of those buildings. Would be really nice.--Diaa abdelmoneim (talk) 06:25, 13 August 2009 (UTC)
 * That would be nice, but unfortunately I don't have the programs to make such an image. Cheers, Rai • me  17:29, 13 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Support Comment The "Rank" column doesn't sort properly. --Crzycheetah 06:14, 15 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Done - fixed sort  Altairisfar talk  12:38, 15 August 2009 (UTC)

 * Support. I found no problems in this list. Ruslik_ Zero 12:39, 15 August 2009 (UTC)

Support, all issues resolved. Dabomb87 (talk) 16:17, 19 August 2009 (UTC)

Sources look good. Dabomb87 (talk) 16:17, 19 August 2009 (UTC)
 * I know it's not been an issue before, but I'm troubled about Emporis. It seems that there will be a way for companies to edit the website. I'm sure there's an explanation, but... Dabomb87 (talk) 14:52, 17 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Well, Emporis and its building data have been cited by several reliable publications worldwide, including Reuters, Le Monde, the Boston Globe, and the Seoul Times (You can see the complete listing here). I'm not sure about "Emporis Admin", but it seems to refer more to changing data on company entries than building data pages. Cheers, Rai • me  15:29, 17 August 2009 (UTC)
 * OK, but I would keep an eye on that. Dabomb87 (talk) 16:17, 19 August 2009 (UTC)
