Talk:List of tallest buildings

List of tallest skyscrapers

It isn't correct "List of tallest buildings" because Telecom towers are buildings but they aren't in the list. It's needed to move It.

India's tallest tower under construction isn't listed

World One will be the tallest tower in India. At 442m tall, it should be listed under Buildings under construction but it isn't. Please add the building

Ping An Finance Center

In the photo gallery location is shown as Guangdong. That is the province name. The city is Shenzhen and should be shown as such. At present it is rather like saying that the Willis Tower is in Illinois (a state) rather than in Chicago.

the CN tower in Canada, downtown, Toronto sits at 553 and you did not include that in the article whatsoever??? Please update it with this proper information, thank you. 166.48.33.240 (talk) 16:46, 9 September 2021 (UTC)

Removal of (below ground) statements in the list.

Recent additions of (below ground) statements in the table makes the table untidy and messy. The information is extra, not needed for the main list itself. Should we revert back to just counting the floors above ground level?
(PenangLion (talk) 07:21, 10 October 2021 (UTC))

Number of floors below ground seems irrelevant when it comes to a list of tall buildings, as height is measured starting at ground level. I would support reverting. Bartzyx (talk) 13:38, 10 October 2021 (UTC)

Buildings under construction

Dubai Creek Tower is missing in "Buildings under construction"

The Dubai Creek Tower is mentioned in the article List of tallest structures, which also describes the difference between 'buildings' (this article) and 'towers'. --Kallichore (talk) 14:55, 17 October 2021 (UTC)

Which the Country 119.30.32.166 (talk) 04:59, 19 November 2021 (UTC) §== Hong Kong, Macau, and other similar cases ==

This is a follow-up to /Archive 4#Content dispute on "Hong Kong" vs. "Hong Kong, China" /Archive 5#Hong Kong and Macau, /Archive 5#Semi-protected edit request on 1 February 2020 and /Archive 2#Hong Kong, China. Please fix the list according to the established consensus all along unless there is new consensus here superseding the existing, and repeated, conclusion. 219.76.24.215 (talk) 08:22, 28 November 2021 (UTC)

 Not done: it's not clear what changes you want to be made. Please mention the specific changes in a "change X to Y" format and provide a reliable source if appropriate. Not only is it not clear what you want changed, but the only thing the links appear to make clear is that there ISN'T a clear consensus. PianoDan (talk) 20:57, 29 November 2021 (UTC)

To replace China to Hong Kong or Macau for Hong Kong and Macau entries. 219.76.24.198 (talk) 10:40, 30 November 2021 (UTC)

 Not done for now: please establish a consensus for this alteration before using the {{edit semi-protected}} template. OK. Having read carefully through all the linked threads, I can detect nothing even vaguely resembling a consensus. Absent that, an edit request is not the appropriate format for this change, as it is not likely to be uncontroversial. PianoDan (talk) 03:02, 1 December 2021 (UTC)

If even these couldn't be detected then may I know what you would expect? This isn't something controversial at all except among some Chinese or pro-Chinese editors. Thanks. 219.76.24.219 (talk) 11:54, 1 December 2021 (UTC)

This is controversial as the debate and article edits have been going on for years. Accusations about being Chinese or being pro-Chinese are irrelevant. I am neither and have repeatedly changed flags to China. It is the country and that's it. No other sub-national flags are used so neither Hong Kong nor Macau should be used. There are many special status sub-national (non-sovereign state) entities across the world. It is more logical, neutral and understandable for a lay reader to only have national flags included. Robynthehode (talk) 16:01, 1 December 2021 (UTC)

By doing so you are coincidentally sharing the same position with Beijing, which go so far to have fined foreign MNCs for showing what they called "non-countries" alongside "countries" according to their definition. This way of presentation, though just coincidental, may appear to be "more logical, neutral and understandable" to you but this is unlikely the established practice on Wikipedia and many other sources elsewhere. In entries of sport events or membership lists of international organisations on Wikipedia and elsewhere it is the common rule to list these countries alongside sovereign states. In other areas that's the rule too as long as these countries take care of those areas largely on their own or are nevertheless managed separately from those matters in their respective sovereign states. Encyclopaedias and all those publications aren't just for lay readers anyway. 219.76.24.207 (talk) 07:41, 4 December 2021 (UTC)

For others reading this discussion, (as it seems unlikely that it will sway the anonymous contributor who made the initial request) I'll point out that there is an official Wikipedia policy on use of flags in articles: WP:SOVEREIGNFLAG. Hong Kong and Macau are not sovereign states , and therefore do not meet WP criteria for flag inclusion in lists in most cases. PianoDan (talk) 16:06, 5 December 2021 (UTC)

In practice flags of countries are routinely used, from lists of countries by HDI, GDP, forex reserves, life expectancy, to lists of visa requirements by country of any particular passports, and medal tables in Olympics or Commonwealth games. What ought to be excluded are, e.g., states, provinces, laenders, cantons, départements, and so on and so forth. 219.76.24.197 (talk) 13:12, 6 December 2021 (UTC)
