Talk:List of tallest structures by country

message: You can call me cuckoo, but i don't believe, that these two towers exist:
:Koeru TV Tower, 349 m (1,145 ft) 
:Valgjärve TV Tower, 347 m (1,138 ft) 
(both are in Estonia)
Koeru is a small forest village, about Valgjärve I don't have any data --213.219.80.25 (talk) 15:42, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Two TV towers in the woods 

message: The Westpoint tower in Tilburg, The Netherlands is linked to a acadamy in the US instead of the actual tower. I dont know how to change it, can someone else please do this?
The link should be; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Westpoint_Tower

thread_title:  Wrong link 

message: It has been discussed a couple of times before, but either nothing was done or more crap has been added since it was last reorganised.  I propose setting limits on the number of entries per country and a minimum height - perhaps: a top 10 (or top 5 if the country has a separate list article or category) and a height limit of 100 m.  All entries will also need to be complete or at least topped out.
Of course, some countries will disappear from the article, but not every country can be represented here otherwise we will be listing small huts on Pacific islands.  Astronaut (talk) 17:26, 20 October 2009 (UTC)

thread_title: Move discussion in progress

message: This list is a real mess with no clear criteria for inclusion of entries to the list. I am going to be bold and start changing the list using the following criteria. 1. A maximum of 10 entries per country. 2. A minimum height of 100m 3. The structure must have been completed or topped out. No proposed or under construction structures to be included. 4. All entries must have verifiable height included not just number of floors or other similar descriptions. 5. All entries must be verifiable with either a linked Wikipedia article or link to a reliable source. 6. All structures are permitted including buildings, towers, guyed masts as per other Wikipedia articles on 'structures' Of course not every country will be included because of the preceding criteria but there has to be limits. If you disagree with any changes I make please discuss on the talk page first Robynthehode (talk) 08:54, 4 December 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: Your attempt to be bold and constructive is appreciated. But, the criteria that you've defined, and undertaken the effort to change the article to reflect it, hasn't been discussed. What are the bases for this criteria? I've reverted your edits for now, until discussion has taken place. Rest assured that they're not lost, and can be restored. Since you haven't gotten responses here, I suggest seeking comments elsewhere, such as WP:Village. —Hexafluoride Ping me if you need help, or post on my talk 18:45, 8 July 2016 (UTC)
replies: text:  Why are we to limit the number of entries to ten? This is supposed to be a List of tallest structures in the world by country, so there would appear to be very little justification for arbitrarily capping the number of entries for each country at ten.

replies: text:  In future can you try and get a consensus before making sweeping changes. Could you also check what changes have been made before reversing edits, you owe it to people who's time you're wasting otherwise. Hayek79 (talk) 15:04, 11 July 2016 (UTC)
replies: text:  Already tried to get consensus by making notification as above. This was 6 months ago. No one bothered to make comment so I followed the allowable action of being bold. Make your argument here about WHY my changes shouldn't be done. Here is my reasoning: Max number - keeps list manageable and if more entries are required then separate article should be created (many countries already have such a list). Minimum height - again keeps list manageable. Completed structure - also keeps list manageable and stops additions that are planned, proposed, visionary (Wikipedia is not a crystal ball). Verifiable height is self explanatory - but enables comparison as the list is 'tallest'. Verifiability criteria is a core requirement of Wikipedia. Seems fair enough to me and in accord with many other articles on the same / similar subject. There were far too many entries that had no source and on monitoring the article over a period of 6 months additions were made that were non notable and not verifiable. Articles - including list articles don't need to include all possible entries or information. Before reverting my changes please make your argument here Robynthehode (talk) 15:20, 11 July 2016 (UTC)
replies: text:  This just demonstrates that you didn't bother to check what changes I had made. With the exception of maximum number of entries per country (a change that you didn't actually make, and which I didn't therefore revert), I agree with your criteria, as I clearly stated above. The changes I made, which you should have checked, were as follows: expanded entries for the United Kingdom, expanded entries for several other sections where buildings formally listed as "under construction" were complete, removed all entries under 100m in height, removed the tables for the India and Vietnam sections so that the page had a consistent formatting and didn't look so messy. Since none of the objections you've raised seem to match the actual changes I made, I will undo your reversion later this afternoon unless you raise any objections, and then we can discuss the matter of limiting entries to 10.

text:  EDIT: It appears I didn't make it clear that I was in broad agreement with the criteria you listed yesterday, apologies. If we are to make further changes I would prefer that they were made to my last edit at 00:10, 11 July 2016 so that I haven't lost all of the other changes that I made. Hayek79 (talk) 15:32, 11 July 2016 (UTC)

text:  On second thoughts it might be an idea, given what a mess this page is, to delete it, since we already have a List of tallest buildings and structures Hayek79 (talk) 16:37, 11 July 2016 (UTC)
replies: text:  Thanks for clarifying your position. I didn't check through all your changes as it looked at first glance that your changes merely reverted my original edits. Apologies. I don't agree with deleting this list article as it offers (or potentially offers) summary information that is not available elsewhere. The List of tallest buildings and structures does not categorise according to country but by absolute height. Country list articles are more in depth. So this list offers a summary overview where buildings / structures in countries can be compared. Happy to work on it with you or other editors to make it more accurate and manageable in size. Robynthehode (talk) 16:50, 11 July 2016 (UTC)
replies: text:  Thanks, sorry about the confusion. I would be happy to expand entries for countries like the United States which only have a handful of buildings listed. Perhaps an entry limit of more than ten, say twenty or thirty, might be better. The reason I have problems with an entry limit is that developed countries will have dozens of very large structures that aren't listed, while rather un-outstanding and not especially tall buildings elsewhere would appear as entries.

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: I think there should be a standardized format, as there is no consistency at all besides "100 m (328 ft)" and that's not always consistent, so I propose: the name of the building/structure, place, year completed, height m (height ft), other information. for example, the current tallest building would be: Burj Khalifa, Dubai, 2009, 828 m (2,717 ft), the tallest building in the world. please add suggestions, as I know this won't cover every situation, thank you for your time.
