Talk:List of tallest buildings in San Francisco

message: This is a great list. I think it is almost ready to be a FL, and I be glad to assist in any way possible with this. However, I am wondering, why are buildings under 400 ft included? To be consistent with other building lists, and also to remove a lrage number of this list's redlinks, I think that any building under 400 ft should be removed. The list is already extremely long without them. This article won't get approved as an FL unless all links are blue (as buildings are considered worthy of individual articles), so removing the shorter buildings is a start.  
Has creating a separate "List of tallest buildings in Oakland" been considered? Since all but 3 of the built and proposed buildings are in Oakland, this seems to make the most sense, as this list is already extremely long, and the information is relevant enough to warrant its own list. Then this list could also move to the more spceific name of "List of tallest buildings in San Francisco". 
For the floor counts, I think that sticking with what the official website says is what should be included. Primary sources are more reliable than Emporis, which is wrong often.
I would suggest renaming the "Completed" section "Tallest buildings", to accomodtae topped out buildings.
In general, if height figures are not known, then they should not be included on a "tallest buildings" list.    
Why are there expansion and clean-up tags? It certainly doesn't need clean-up, and if anuthing, the list is too long. 
Some of the notes could be trimmed down. Ifthey are repetitive or irrelevant to the buildoing's height, then they should be removed. 
Clearly, there has been a lot of work recently on this list, so I'll wait to hear the responses of other editors before changing the information. Raime 21:12, 29 August 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Some Comments 

message: There is a large empty space below the table for the tallest buildings.  It is being caused by two images on the right-hand side.  I propose those two image be removed to remove the empty space.  But first, I wanted to see if this problem is also on other screens.  Leitmanp (talk | contributions) 21:00, 9 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Now that we no longer use image sizings of 200px per the Portland list's FLC, I think only one image needs to be removed. I took out :Image:Img338450FremontCenter.JPG of 50 Fremont Center, as we probably don't need representations of both of the city's 6th-tallest buildings. Comments?

thread_title:  Large empty space in Tallest buildings section 

message: At the start of the list, there reads: Freestanding towers, while not habitable buildings, are included for comparison purposes but not ranked.
However, there are no such entries on the list.
On the notes, there reads: F. ^ Building is said to be somewhere between 450 feet (137 m) and 650 feet (198 m).
However, note [F] is not present in the article. 82.141.119.130 (talk) 02:42, 3 May 2013 (UTC)

message: This is a great image, and it illustrates the subject matter well, except that it's over ten years old. At the time it depicted the tallest three buildings (in 2007, that would have been Transamerica (L), 345 California (C), and 555 California (R); those three are now the second, fourth, and fifth tallest, respectively) and an updated shot from the same location would probably also show Salesforce and 181 Fremont. So where was it taken?
There are clues from the foreground. 345 California nearly lines up with 505 Montgomery, which is at the intersection of Clay and Sacramento. That gives us a rough axis to work with, drawing a line from 505 Montgomery to 345 California.
From the EXIF, this was taken with a Canon EOS 400D which has a sensor width of 22mm and the lens was set to a focal length of 40mm, which means the horizontal angle of view is 2\times\arctan \left ( \frac{\frac{22}{2}}{40} \right ) = 30.8^\circ ... tracing that triangulated line back means the photograph was probably taken from a building near the intersection of Vallejo and Mason. It appears to be privately owned, but there may be opportunities to get a photograph from a similar publicly-accessible location.
