Miller Park edit

Does Miller Park belong on this list? It is a stadium, not a skyscraper. Zonafan39 (talk) 00:48, 9 June 2010 (UTC)Reply

Peer Review edit

I'm putting this list up for review, to see just how much more needs to be done to get it to featured status. There is no excuse for this list to not be featured. If cities like Portland and Albuquerque can be featured, so can Milwaukee. Zonafan39 (talk) 00:21, 7 July 2013 (UTC)Reply

Featured List Checklist edit

Since I'm not getting any help here, I guess I'll have to do this myself

  • Prose- Writing may need to be improved a little bit
  • Lead- Good start, needs to be expanded. I haven't been able to find a whole lot of info on early Milwaukee architecture save for the Railway Exchange Building and City Hall.
  • Comprehensiveness- Clearly passes this test
  • Structure- This list is easy to navigate.
  • Style- It has good visual appeal, most of the buildings have photos to go along with them, and no red links.
  • Stability- This article is very stable

Ok, since I have gotten no help whatsoever in improving this article, I have added more info about the history of Milwaukee's skyscrapers, and I'm not 100% sure if it is featured material, but I will give it a shot anyway. Zonafan39 (talk) 03:47, 30 July 2013 (UTC)Reply

"in the 2000s" edit

Is that supposed to mean "in the 21st century" or "between 2000 and 2009? 71.139.142.11 (talk) 22:32, 6 August 2013 (UTC)Reply

I didn't write that fact, but I think it means "between 2000 and 2009". I'll clarify it. Zonafan39 (talk) 04:20, 7 August 2013 (UTC)Reply

Lists of tall buildings are being nominated for deletion edit

It seems any list of tall buildings is almost guaranteed to be sent to AfD as of late. I refer to the many tall building articles which have been templated with AfDs: Aurora Colorado, Cities with the most high rises, Peoria Ill Metairie, Louisiana, North Hudson NJ Tysons VA. I have been adding references to the items. In addition I have been adding photos of the items on the list. One of the most active AfD tall building nominators considers Emporis (There is not a consensus) a poor source. In any event adding other independent reliable sources to each entry seems prudent.

Obviously incorrect Milwaukee building heights and info. edit

The heights of some buildings listed in the Tallest Buildings in Milwaukee are obviously visually in error. I don't know where to find the correct source data to correct this. I have lots of photographic proof but no documentation. Example #1: Potawatomi Casino Hotel is listed twice as Tower 1 (307 ft) and Tower 2 (242 ft) but the two towers are part of the same building and are the same height, not a 63 foot difference. This should be changed to one entry at one corrected height.

Example #2: Three buildings listed are within a block of each other and the heights listed don't agree with visual evidence. 250 Plaza (229.24 ft), ATT Building (213 ft), Wells Building (212 ft). Visually the ATT Building is about 3 stories taller than 250 Plaza even though it is listed as 16 ft shorter. The Wells Building is visually approximately the same height as 250 Plaza even though they are supposedly 17 ft different. The ATT Building is about 3 stories taller than the Wells Building even though there is a 1 ft difference in listed height. I walked past the ATT Building and confirmed it is 19 stories. To support my statement about height discrepancies, the picture of the ATT Building on wikipedia shows a building to the right and behind. That is the 250 Plaza Building. You can clearly see the 250 Plaza building is probably 20 feet shorter than the ATT Building and is definitely not 16 feet taller.

Does anyone know where to get info to correct these erroneous heights? Jbpublic (talk) 22:23, 15 December 2023 (UTC)Reply
