Just an idea 65.175.106.2 (talk) 00:54, 22 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

That would take a lot of effort. And every time an updated photo is added all the work would have to be redone. 71.62.176.24 (talk) 19:36, 1 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Why is Empire State Building listed by roof height and not total height? It should be fourth tallest to be consistent with how other buildings on this list are measured. Pfotsch (talk) 15:03, 16 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

U are correct but it will take too long to fix the whole list to pinnacle height 2607:FEA8:FDC0:8179:60D1:9A25:F2A1:FB3A (talk) 19:01, 7 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You are getting pinnacle and architectural height confused. The architectural height of the ESB is 1,250 ft, and for 1WTC is 1,776 ft. Presently, as of 2024, pinnacle height for the ESB is 1,454 ft, and for 1WTC is 1,792 ft. Pinnacle height includes antennas and other elements that can be swapped or added/removed. The ESB's antenna has been previously swapped out as prior to 1985 it was instead 1,472 ft to its pinnacle. Whereas architectural height includes permanent elements of the skyscraper only. In short only architectural height is used, and the permanent spires of the BOA Tower and 1WTC are just a larger percentage of their height. Previously roof-height was sometimes used instead to avoid this confusion, however skyscrapers, such as he Burj Khalifa, have no clear delineation as to where the roof ends and the spire begins, and so that has largely fallen out of favor. Height to highest usable floor is still in widespread use however. 71.62.176.24 (talk) 19:33, 1 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I tried adding a photo of 262 Fifth Avenue (Cell 407) but i keep breaking the table. Can anyone try it and let me know what i might be doing wrong. i copied the formatting from other imges on the table like "[[File:One Chase Manhattan Plaza 1.jpg|150px|alt=]]". i'm using the visual editor.

Hello, User:BruceSchaff, there is a help page, Help:Images, but usually when I run into trouble like this I just use the source editor and copy paste the formatting from the next cell up and just change the file name, ctrl+f still works to find the cell quickly when using the source editor.

Update: I just took the image from the bottom of the 262 Fifth Avenue page and added it here and using that trick and it worked just fine.2601:84:8681:6430:3419:EA4C:F3FC:8FF9 (talk) 17:53, 25 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Some of "Tallest under construction or proposed" do not have coordinates. Irregardless 1 (talk) 22:51, 18 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
