I am nominating this for featured list because it seems to be of the same quality of other featured lists of similar topics Newfoundlander&amp;Labradorian (talk) 17:28, 9 March 2011 (UTC)

Comments –
 * "however the Confederation building is located outside of the downtown." Since "building" is capitalized in the previous sentence, and the name is capitalized in the building's name, shouldn't it be capitalized here as well?
 * Another capitalization issue: the first photo capitalizes Harbour and the third doesn't.
 * In the headings above the tables, remove the commas in the dates (for example, the one in February, 2011).
 * The hyphens in the Height and Floors columns should be changed to dashes of some type.
 * The photos don't sort, so the sorting function may as well be removed from that column.
 * In the second table, make the hyphen in Job Street - Hamilton Avenue an en dash, and add a hyphen to "3 storey" in the note.
 * Remove all caps in the title of reference 6.
 * References 4 and 6 need publishers.
 * Typos in a few reference titles: "SkyscrapeerPage.com". One e too many.
 * Also, the p in Page isn't capitalized in one of the citations, and is in all of the others. They should be consistent.
 * The publisher for references 20, 21, and 23 (The Telegram) should be italicized since it's a printed publication.  Giants2008  ( 27 and counting ) 02:29, 16 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Oppose – Doesn't seem like my comments have been addressed, and some of the ones below don't appear to have been taken into account either. It's not like they were posted yesterday; there's been enough time to at least acknowledge the comments here.  Giants2008  ( 27 and counting ) 22:19, 26 June 2011 (UTC)

 * Great images, but too many for the amount of prose. Also, at least one of them seems doubled. Remove at least half of those outside the table. Alternatively you could increase the amount of text. I'd leave one overview/panorama and the Water Street image.
 * It would be interesting to discuss (or at least mention) the reasons for the height regulations in the intro.
 * In 2010 the city amended height regulation for a small area of Water Street to allow for higher density buildings. How is the "height" connected with the "density". Possibly needs some explanation.
 * I think that empty table cells should be filled with a centered long dash instead of a hyphen. You can use — to achieve this.
 * Make the image column unsortable.
 * Why are there different accuracies for the building heights (45.7 versus 45 meters)?
 * I'd consider making an extra table column "Type" for "Office, Hotel, Religious,...".
 * Why is this list incomplete? "List of tallest buildings in..." type lists should be complete in my opinion since they have a clear selection criterion (buildings taller than X meters).
 * The projects could do with a short intro.
 * What is the meaning of "50~ m", "55~ m", etc?
 * Construction of 351 Water Street (set for completion next year) has not started yet?
 * The "Notes" column should be made unsortable.
 * Add more categories (at least one that is specific to St. John's).
 * Not essential, but the image captions could be a bit more descriptive, e.g. mentioning from where the image is taken or if there is anything particular in it.

One more thing:
 * I personally don't care much for imperial units, but since you have feet in the intro and since this list is about a northamerican topic, I think you should also have feet in the tables. You can use convert to convert automatically. bamse (talk) 21:15, 20 June 2011 (UTC)
