List of tallest residential buildings in the world

 * Nominator(s): Nabil rais2008 (talk) 15:25, 24 November 2013 (UTC)

I am nominating this for featured list because the article has been substantially cited with reliable sources and is an interesting and informative article. A lot of work from major contributors has been done on this list. This article has been peer reviewed twice and all listed concerns, comments and suggestions has been addressed accordingly. This list is a former candidate of FL, however not promoted, but i have reshaped this article according to the criteria of FL and i think that this time it should be promoted to the status of FL.Nabil rais2008 (talk) 15:25, 24 November 2013 (UTC)

 * I can't find evidence of the Mubarak Center actually being under construction. Google sources say it's "pending", and there are pictures of a hole in the ground. I believe in the wikipedia is not a crystal ball, and would be reluctant to include anything that is speculative of a future event, such as pending/on hold/approved/planned buildings. Under construction is even border line but at least it's something physical to report on. Mattximus (talk) 22:52, 26 November 2013 (UTC)

Done, i have removed Mubarak Centre, as its not on-hold. However the other one Pentominium is on-hold since its construction has been stopped at level 24 and sources can easily been found regarding its status, and its pertinent to mention about Pentominium here as its supertall skyscraper and planned to be 516 meters tall.Nabil rais2008 (talk) 08:33, 27 November 2013 (UTC)


 * Comments
 * Slap a "The" in front of Council in the first sentence of both the first and second paragraphs.


 * Done
 * "residential skyscrapers in the world.,[3][4]" - drop the period
 * Done
 * "Tallest Block in the world" - you capitalize Block but not world both times you use this- either do full title capitalization or capitalize none of it.
 * Done
 * Also put a "the" in from of tallest in the first image caption
 * Done
 * There are several facts in History that you don't have references for
 * Done
 * "In 2012, Princess Tower becomes the tallest residential building in the world and rises" - tense, both verbs
 * Done
 * You define what the CTBUH is in the Ranking section, but not in the lead- that first sentence there should really be the first sentence of the lead, rather than just jumping in headfirst
 * Done
 * In the second paragraph of Ranking, you throw in an opening single quote for a quotation, but never close it. If it's not a quote, remove it, if it is, use "quote marks".
 * Done removed quote mark, as it is not a quote.
 * Several buildings are sorting by "The"; they should not. See the sort template to fix it.
 * I didn't got your this point ? When i sort building they are sorted in "Alphabetical order". How they are sorting by "The" ?
 * Done I have used the template, that you have given to fix it !
 * The notes column should not be sortable
 * Is there any way to remove the sort option from existing table ? Because i have to change whole three tables of article, that requires an exhaustive working and time.
 * Done I have make section of "Notes" unsortable.
 * Since you can sort the list, every instance of e.g. a city should be linked in the table, not just the "first" one, since that changes, just like how you do the country.
 * Done
 * The same problems apply to other three tables
 * Done
 * Dream Dubai Marina is missing a space before the slash in the year started / end column
 * Done
 * In History, you say that The Belcher's Tower 1 and The Belcher's Tower 2 were completed in 2000, but your timeline table says they weren't the tallest until 2001
 * Done completion date of Belcher's Tower 1 and 2 was 2000, after conforming it from CTBUH.
 * You never actually state that they didn't start ranking until 2001; I would expect to see that in the lead
 * Done for the reason above mentioned.
 * "List of cities with most skyscrapers" in the see also section is redirecting, to its grammatically correct version
 * Done
 * Link Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat in your references.
 * Done

All short comings highlighted by Pres  N  have been rectified accordingly. Please suggest a way forward. Nabil rais2008 (talk) 11:57, 11 January 2014 (UTC)
 * There are still numerous grammatical errors:
 * "The Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat, defines" - no comma needed, and place "(CTBUH)" after the name since you use the acronym going forward
 * "formed in 1969, decides which" - "1969 that decides"
 * "It maintains a list of the 100 tallest completed residential buildings in the world" - again, it hasn't always done this, it has only done this since 2000 - "It has maintained a list[...]since 2000".
 * "which rises at 392 metres (1,286 ft) in Dubai it was also completed in 2012" - rises shouldn't be used that way for a static building, and you need either a period or semicolon after Dubai.
 * "The third tallest residential skyscraper is Elite Residence, which rises" - again, buildings don't rise, they stand, since they don't move.
 * "The Marina Torch which rises" - again
 * You list the completion year of the first two, but not the positions 3-5.
 * "Skyscraper database of The Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat reveals that, more" - "The skyscraper database", you can use the acronym since you already used it once, and you don't need that comma.
 * "more than 100 residential buildings are under construction" - rather more than that, I think you mean residential skyscrapers
 * "World One in Mumbai, India set to rise" - comma after India
 * " Saudi Arabia with planned height" - "with a planned height"
 * "New York City, United States set to rise" - comma after States
 * "release issued by Emporis Corporation" - just Emporis
 * "because of a number of high-rise" - "the" number
 * "is on hold since May 2011" - "has been on hold since"
 * "The first residential skyscrapers were The Belcher's Tower 1 and The Belcher's Tower 2" - were they the first, or just the first since CTBUH started keeping track? Also, the whole sentence is a run-on.
 * "In 2012, Princess Tower becomes the tallest" - "became"
 * The second paragraph of History makes no sense- the stats you quote in the first part of the sentence have nothing to do with the second part of the sentence.
 * You also shouldn't have a single-sentence paragraph. If you combine the two paragraphs, you're left with a single=paragraph section; consider moving some information out of the lead and into this section, or moving this section into somewhere else.
 * The first sentence in Ranking criteria and alternatives is out of place in the section- it has nothing to do with what follows.


 * I really should just oppose this- even after "fixing" my earlier issues, the article is riddled with grammatical problems and there's no coherent flow throughout the text part of the list at all. It's got good tables, and nice pictures, but you need to get a copy-editor; it's really noticeable that English is not your first language, since you mess up articles and commas pretty consistently. -- Pres N  02:29, 12 January 2014 (UTC)


 * Done All grammatical mistakes have been rectified. And i have tried my best to improve article's grammatical mistakes.
