I notice that Hong Kong is listed as a separate country, while Macau is listed as simply in China. First off, I would suggest listing Hong Kong as a part of China, since it is not an independent state, but if not, at least make the article consistent and treat Macau the same, since they're both pretty much the same in terms of autonomy.-- RM ( Be my friend) 07:50, 17 October 2014 (UTC)

This page is quite long, and I'm wondering if it would be best to remove the section called list of buildings on hold. First reason, is that this is a List of tallest buildings in the world, not a list of maybe one day might be one of the tallest buildings in the world. Also as per WP:CRYSTALBALL, we shouldn't include potential buildings, only buildings that are built, or at the very least being built. What do you think? Mattximus ( talk) 21:04, 13 March 2015 (UTC)

My proposal is to remove Photo gallery (good for commons, not for wiki), Height to roof (not updatable, can be moved to separate article), List of buildings with 100+ floors (just a link), Proposed (incomplete, not referenced, crystalballish), cancelled (unclear criteria (difference to on-hold?), not updated, not referenced). Height to pinnacle section shold be shortened (400 m?) to better updatability), not sure about Buildings on hold section. Any comments ? -- Jklamo ( talk) 12:05, 18 July 2015 (UTC)

This source, cited on Goldin Finance 117, gives the floor count as 117... which, presumably, is where the tower got its name.

The last sentence of the "Notes" column for the Willis Tower say, "It is the second-tallest building in the Western Hemisphere, and the tallest when measuring by roof height", but since the completion of the taller Central Park Tower, neither of these statements is true. It should be changed to, "It is the third-tallest building in the Western Hemisphere, and the second-tallest when measuring by roof height."
Correct and updated information is already in the article for Central Park Tower ( /info/en/?search=Central_Park_Tower): "The building rises 1,550 feet (472 m)[7] and is the second-tallest skyscraper in the United States and the Western Hemisphere, the 15th tallest building in the world, the tallest residential building in the world, and the tallest by roof height of a building outside of Asia, surpassing the Willis Tower by 99 feet (30 m)." 78.151.141.85 ( talk) 23:53, 22 November 2019 (UTC)

These two buildings - Goldin Finance 117 and Wuhan Greenland Center - were shortly marked as Architecturally Topped Out, but they are now marked as On Hold. I think they must be removed from the main list. But unfortunately, there is no place for them in the current structure of the page.

Maybe it could be included in the article. That term is used in this article and it refers to non-occupiable space (height) and highlights the race for the records.
Maybe a (top 5) list of highest non-occupiable-to-occupiable height ratio could be included as extension of the previous. It is stated in this article that with 39% of its height is non-occupiable Burj Al Arab has the highest non-occupiable-to-occupiable height ratio among completed supertalls.

The article says: "Historically, the world's tallest man-made structure was the Great Pyramid of Giza in Egypt, which held the position for over 3,800 years[3] until the construction of Lincoln Cathedral in England in 1311". However, the Lincoln Cathedral article itself says it isn't known for sure if the Lincoln Cathedral really was ever the tallest building in the world (and I doubt we will ever know for sure, the claim referring to almost 1000 years ago, centuries before internationally standardized measure systems were even established). As the bit "until the construction of Lincoln Cathedral in England in 1311" treats as a fact what the article on the cathedral itself states is only a claim, and as it is not essential to this the article, I believe it could and should be taken off. Jlvill ( talk) 16:12, 16 September 2020 (UTC)
No, the article about the Lincoln Cathedral is correct as it is - it says that there are unconfirmed claims to it having been the tallest building in the world, even though many dispute it (and it is obvious no one will never be able to prove one way or the other). That article is perfectly fine as it is. It is this one that states as a fact what Wikipedia itself says is a disputed claim. But if you oppose this one, I will ask for external opinions once I have the time. Jlvill ( talk) 23:05, 17 September 2020 (UTC)
As the mention of previous record-holders is not essential to this article, as most record-holders are actually not mentioned in the section and as the Lincoln Cathedral is precisely the only one that is unproven and disputed, I definitely favor removing the "until the construction of Lincoln Cathedral" bit. Not essential to the article, disputed and most record-holders (Cologne Cathedral, Rouen Cathedral, Hamburg Cathedral...) are not mentioned. Jlvill ( talk) 14:59, 18 September 2020 (UTC)
It's such an inoffensive edit I honestly don't think discussion on it is needed, but as a user has undone my edit and said we need to "discuss" the addition of these two words, here it goes - in the sentence that current reads: "The United States would hold the position of the world's tallest building throughout the 20th century until 1998, when the Petronas Towers were completed." I have added the words "in Malaysia" after "Petronas Towers", as the phrase is exactly about how the United States held the position for one hundred years until another country finally made it, and I felt it was incomplete not saying what country it was. If anyone knows of any possible reason why such an edit might be non-productive, please let me know. Jlvill ( talk) 19:44, 17 September 2020 (UTC)
One sentence up, countries are mentioned for Egypt, England, France, the United States. I beg you to please provide one valid argument as for why adding the words "in Malaysia" would be harmful to the article. As for rules on editing, it'd be nice of you to see that you have violated the 3-reverts-rule in this very article yesterday. Jlvill ( talk) 23:11, 17 September 2020 (UTC)

Under the section labeled “Alternative Measurements”, there is exposed code. I don’t know much about coding Wikipedia articles, and I don’t have the authorization to edit the page, but this very much needs to be fixed. NubNublet ( talk) 09:27, 9 January 2021 (UTC)
@ Jklamo: I'd be surprised if in the 11 years since that was added in Dec 2012 everyone, or even most editors, have followed it. Particularly "To be considered a building, at least 50 percent of its height must be occupiable6 . Telecommunications or observation towers that do not meet the 50 percent threshold are not eligible for inclusion on CTBUH’s “Tallest” lists." So in practice there is no consensus here despite the lead.
Not only that, but I don't see why we shouldn't include it - not including Belize's tallest building is disrespecting its culture. Doug Weller talk 14:24, 20 January 2021 (UTC)
Should buildings situated in Hong Kong be classified with a Hong Kongese flag or a Chinese flag? Hong Kong is a semi-independent nation after all. -- TheNk22 ( talk) 13:38, 8 December 2016 (UTC)
Hong Kong's political autonomy and completely different context only apply to things like GDP and life expectancy (aggregate statistics) where it doesn't make good a comparison to lump it with China. However, since when is political autonomy and completely different context apply where a building is located? For ease of use and not to drag unnecessary politics into a harmless list of infrastructure a UN definition which is simpler and widely accepted should be used. Terramorphous ( talk) 01:29, 9 December 2016 (UTC)
Hong Kong is a semi-autonomous region of China. Due to historical reasons, many organisations and governments treat Hong Kong separately instead of China. This includes Google, Facebook, Microsoft, etc. Data of Hong Kong is also separate from China like GDP, Gini, HDI, and even count of coronavirus cases. Hong Kong has its own internet TLD, country code, passport, currency, official language and Olympic team which is so different from China. It is therefore not suitable to use the Chinese flag in Hong Kong buildings data as this is a common practice internationally. Changing the "country" column into "county/territory" or "country/region" is also suitable in this case. Alexanderlam128 ( talk) 11:45, 31 May 2020 (UTC)
Concur with Citobun and Robynthehode, and partially with Alexanderlam128. For general purposes the word "country" in the English language already covers both states and territories (especially those inhabited ones with organised governments). 220.246.55.231 ( talk) 13:36, 12 January 2021 (UTC)

I would like to add the CN Tower to the list. It stands at 553.3 M tall according to https://www.cntower.ca/en-ca/about-us/awards-and-records/records.html And it’s the tallest building in the western hemisphere. I felt that it was a necessary addition to the page. 142.118.217.129 ( talk) 21:19, 3 June 2021 (UTC)

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?

I notice that Hong Kong is listed as a separate country, while Macau is listed as simply in China. First off, I would suggest listing Hong Kong as a part of China, since it is not an independent state, but if not, at least make the article consistent and treat Macau the same, since they're both pretty much the same in terms of autonomy.-- RM ( Be my friend) 07:50, 17 October 2014 (UTC)

This page is quite long, and I'm wondering if it would be best to remove the section called list of buildings on hold.

This source, cited on Goldin Finance 117, gives the floor count as 117... which, presumably, is where the tower got its name.

The last sentence of the "Notes" column for the Willis Tower say, "It is the second-tallest building in the Western Hemisphere, and the tallest when measuring by roof height", but since the completion of the taller Central Park Tower, neither of these statements is true. It should be changed to, "It is the third-tallest building in the Western Hemisphere, and the second-tallest when measuring by roof height."
Correct and updated information is already in the article for Central Park Tower ( /info/en/?search=Central_Park_Tower): "The building rises 1,550 feet (472 m)[7] and is the second-tallest skyscraper in the United States and the Western Hemisphere, the 15th tallest building in the world, the tallest residential building in the world, and the tallest by roof height of a building outside of Asia, surpassing the Willis Tower by 99 feet (30 m)." 78.151.141.85 ( talk) 23:53, 22 November 2019 (UTC)

These two buildings - Goldin Finance 117 and Wuhan Greenland Center - were shortly marked as Architecturally Topped Out, but they are now marked as On Hold. I think they must be removed from the main list. But unfortunately, there is no place for them in the current structure of the page. In the past, there was a separate on-hold section, but it was plagued by many buildings being on-hold from a very early stage of construction. Any thoughts? Jklamo ( talk) 13:05, 17 April 2020 (UTC)

Maybe it could be included in the article. That term is used in this article and it refers to non-occupiable space (height) and highlights the race for the records.
Maybe a (top 5) list of highest non-occupiable-to-occupiable height ratio could be included as extension of the previous. It is stated in this article that with 39% of its height is non-occupiable Burj Al Arab has the highest non-occupiable-to-occupiable height ratio among completed supertalls.

Under continents, New Zealand has been excluded from Australia. New Zealand has the tallest building in the southern hemisphere (Sky tower). I would suggest either renaming Australia to Oceania and changing the listing to the Sky Tower, or creating Zealandia as a continent. Pjemus ( talk) 05:20, 30 July 2020 (UTC)

User:Hadron137 added an automatic rank counter. That is a nice feature, but unfortunately, it has also some flaws. The biggest flaw is that it does not work with VisualEditor. Also, there are some problems with the mobile view. I am not sure if the benefits outweigh these flaws. Jklamo ( talk) 12:12, 12 January 2019 (UTC)
The article says: "Historically, the world's tallest man-made structure was the Great Pyramid of Giza in Egypt, which held the position for over 3,800 years[3] until the construction of Lincoln Cathedral in England in 1311". However, the Lincoln Cathedral article itself says it isn't known for sure if the Lincoln Cathedral really was ever the tallest building in the world (and I doubt we will ever know for sure, the claim referring to almost 1000 years ago, centuries before internationally standardized measure systems were even established). As the bit "until the construction of Lincoln Cathedral in England in 1311" treats as a fact what the article on the cathedral itself states is only a claim, and as it is not essential to this the article, I believe it could and should be taken off. Jlvill ( talk) 16:12, 16 September 2020 (UTC)
No, the article about the Lincoln Cathedral is correct as it is - it says that there are unconfirmed claims to it having been the tallest building in the world, even though many dispute it (and it is obvious no one will never be able to prove one way or the other). That article is perfectly fine as it is. It is this one that states as a fact what Wikipedia itself says is a disputed claim. But if you oppose this one, I will ask for external opinions once I have the time. Jlvill ( talk) 23:05, 17 September 2020 (UTC)
As the mention of previous record-holders is not essential to this article, as most record-holders are actually not mentioned in the section and as the Lincoln Cathedral is precisely the only one that is unproven and disputed, I definitely favor removing the "until the construction of Lincoln Cathedral" bit. Not essential to the article, disputed and most record-holders (Cologne Cathedral, Rouen Cathedral, Hamburg Cathedral...) are not mentioned. Jlvill ( talk) 14:59, 18 September 2020 (UTC)
It's such an inoffensive edit I honestly don't think discussion on it is needed, but as a user has undone my edit and said we need to "discuss" the addition of these two words, here it goes - in the sentence that current reads: "The United States would hold the position of the world's tallest building throughout the 20th century until 1998, when the Petronas Towers were completed." I have added the words "in Malaysia" after "Petronas Towers", as the phrase is exactly about how the United States held the position for one hundred years until another country finally made it, and I felt it was incomplete not saying what country it was. If anyone knows of any possible reason why such an edit might be non-productive, please let me know. Jlvill ( talk) 19:44, 17 September 2020 (UTC)
One sentence up, countries are mentioned for Egypt, England, France, the United States. I beg you to please provide one valid argument as for why adding the words "in Malaysia" would be harmful to the article. As for rules on editing, it'd be nice of you to see that you have violated the 3-reverts-rule in this very article yesterday. Jlvill ( talk) 23:11, 17 September 2020 (UTC)

Under the section labeled “Alternative Measurements”, there is exposed code. I don’t know much about coding Wikipedia articles, and I don’t have the authorization to edit the page, but this very much needs to be fixed. NubNublet ( talk) 09:27, 9 January 2021 (UTC)
@ Jklamo: I'd be surprised if in the 11 years since that was added in Dec 2012 everyone, or even most editors, have followed it. Particularly "To be considered a building, at least 50 percent of its height must be occupiable6 . Telecommunications or observation towers that do not meet the 50 percent threshold are not eligible for inclusion on CTBUH’s “Tallest” lists." So in practice there is no consensus here despite the lead.
Not only that, but I don't see why we shouldn't include it - not including Belize's tallest building is disrespecting its culture. Doug Weller talk 14:24, 20 January 2021 (UTC)
Should buildings situated in Hong Kong be classified with a Hong Kongese flag or a Chinese flag? Hong Kong is a semi-independent nation after all. -- TheNk22 ( talk) 13:38, 8 December 2016 (UTC)
Hong Kong's political autonomy and completely different context only apply to things like GDP and life expectancy (aggregate statistics) where it doesn't make good a comparison to lump it with China. However, since when is political autonomy and completely different context apply where a building is located? For ease of use and not to drag unnecessary politics into a harmless list of infrastructure a UN definition which is simpler and widely accepted should be used. Terramorphous ( talk) 01:29, 9 December 2016 (UTC)
Hong Kong is a semi-autonomous region of China. Due to historical reasons, many organisations and governments treat Hong Kong separately instead of China. This includes Google, Facebook, Microsoft, etc. Data of Hong Kong is also separate from China like GDP, Gini, HDI, and even count of coronavirus cases. Hong Kong has its own internet TLD, country code, passport, currency, official language and Olympic team which is so different from China. It is therefore not suitable to use the Chinese flag in Hong Kong buildings data as this is a common practice internationally. Changing the "country" column into "county/territory" or "country/region" is also suitable in this case. Alexanderlam128 ( talk) 11:45, 31 May 2020 (UTC)
Concur with Citobun and Robynthehode, and partially with Alexanderlam128. For general purposes the word "country" in the English language already covers both states and territories (especially those inhabited ones with organised governments). 220.246.55.231 ( talk) 13:36, 12 January 2021 (UTC)

I would like to add the CN Tower to the list. It stands at 553.3 M tall according to https://www.cntower.ca/en-ca/about-us/awards-and-records/records.html And it’s the tallest building in the western hemisphere. I felt that it was a necessary addition to the page. 142.118.217.129 ( talk) 21:19, 3 June 2021 (UTC)
Not done: CN Tower is a
non-building structure (specifically a
tower) and does not belong on this list. This is stated in the list's lead section.

I am requesting to edit the ranking because apparently the one world trade center is taller than the CN tower which is 553.3 M tall. Additionally it claims that the OWTC is the tallest building in the western hemisphere/North america which is actually inaccurate again to the CN tower. Ksteuer95 ( talk) 21:05, 25 July 2021 (UTC)

The CN tower in Toronto is missing in the ranking. Which make it the highest tower in North America
You can see that on the Wikipedia page of the CN tower: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/CN_Tower
And the official website of the CN Tower in Toronto: https://www.cntower.ca/site_Files/Content/PDF/Facts_at_a_Glance_2013.pdf 2607:FEA8:875F:DE5E:48AC:3F4B:9DBB:1461 ( talk) 14:44, 11 August 2021 (UTC)
This list of tallest buildings includes skyscrapers with continuously occupiable floors and a height of at least 350 m. Non-building structures, such as towers, are not included in this list (see list of tallest buildings and structures).ScottishFinnishRadish ( talk) 14:49, 11 August 2021 (UTC)

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?
