List of tallest buildings in Vancouver
Another tallest-buildings in city list. I am nominating this after a large expansion of the list, which includes adding references, new sections, an introduction and a general cleanup. Any issues listed here will be resolved. Cheers. Trance addict - Armin van Buuren - Oceanlab 19:20, 18 December 2008 (UTC)

Note: Since I believe Hydrogen Iodide is busy with his finals, I will be responding to all the comments and concerns. I will NOT take credit for this nomination. Thanks. -- signed by  SRE.K.A nnoyomous .L. 24  spell my name backwards at 10:56, 30 December 2008 (UTC)


 * Support - all problems fixed to comply with WP:WIAFL.--SRX 02:39, 21 December 2008 (UTC)

Support, all issues resolved. Dabomb87 (talk) 18:08, 22 December 2008 (UTC)

Sources look good. Dabomb87 (talk) 18:08, 22 December 2008 (UTC) What makes the following sources reliable? Please understand that I am not skeptical of their reliability, but since they make up the bulk of the referencing, we need to be absolutely sure that what they say is true.

Coming from an FLC where there was intense focus upon a perceived dissonance between list title and contents, I notice some dissonance here, too. To parallel some reviewer dictums elsewhere, I think i should vehemently oppose this list-article unless it is renamed to clearly cover all 3 lists that it contains, e.g. call it "List of tallest buildings in Vancouver by height, list of tallest under construction, approved and proposed, and list of something else". :) Otherwise, nice list! :) (In case it is not obvious, I do not oppose this list.) doncram (talk) 05:09, 24 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment
 * I think it will be kind of absurd to have such a long name. Besides, the article won't be consistent with the other related articles. -- signed by  SRE.K.A nnoyomous .L. 24  spell my name backwards at 04:05, 28 December 2008 (UTC)

 * Comments
 * "is the 62-story and 201 metres (659 ft) Living Shangri-La" needs to be reworded; 201 Metres is not an adjective. I think the template is forcing the s. Also, since the rest of the artile uses the abbreviation m, this should be changed to be consistent.
 * DONE -- signed by  SRE.K.A nnoyomous .L. 24  spell my name backwards at 10:56, 30 December 2008 (UTC)


 * "A ten-year lull in building construction came after the boom, however, beginning in 1991, and continuing into the present, Vancouver experienced a larger second building boom" needs to be rewritten.
 * I replaced "beginning in 1991, and continuing into the present" to "since 1991". The rest I will ask someone to copy-edit the article. -- signed by  SRE.K.A nnoyomous .L. 24  spell my name backwards at 10:56, 30 December 2008 (UTC)


 * "Vancouver also saw the completion of One Wall Centre and Living Shangri-La" sounds weird because this is already about Vancouver. It saw the completion of every one of these buildings.
 * Changed it with "One Wall Centre and Living Shangri-La are..." -- signed by  SRE.K.A nnoyomous .L. 24  spell my name backwards at 10:56, 30 December 2008 (UTC)


 * Could the image in the lead could be used as the large panorama?
 * Nope, since it isn't an actual panorama. -- signed by  SRE.K.A nnoyomous .L. 24  spell my name backwards at 10:56, 30 December 2008 (UTC)


 * The rank, height, and year columns need to be centered for all tables. To save time I'm sure there's a way this can be done in the tabletop rather than in every cell.
 * If there is, I should know, since I am very familiar with tables, but I'm sure there isn't a way this can be done in the tabletop


 * You could add a few more pics to the side if you want.
 * DONE -- signed by  SRE.K.A nnoyomous .L. 24  spell my name backwards at 10:56, 30 December 2008 (UTC)


 * The Note should be incorporated into the Tallest buildings lead and it may require a source.
 * I removed it because I couldn't find a reliable source for that kind of information. -- signed by  SRE.K.A nnoyomous .L. 24  spell my name backwards at 10:56, 30 December 2008 (UTC)


 * Overall a very informative list. Reywas92 Talk  04:29, 29 December 2008 (UTC)
