Article Drive for List

I'm requesting an article drive for buildings #1-#20, meaning you should help improve or make articles numbers 1-20 on the list. After 20, the buildings kind of run out of importance steam, so it's better not to make articles for them. Good luck! -I have recently changed/made: 360 Condominiums, The Austonian, W Austin Hotel and Residences, and Spring (building) TheAustinMan (talk) 23:13, 7 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

You are not expected to reach at least C class articles when making one, because these buildings aren't that famous. 99.58.60.128 (talk) 00:07, 8 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

So far, so good:

1975 to 1984

The Timeline of tallest buildings says that the Bank of America Center was the tallest building only within 1975, and gives no info on the tallest building from 1975 to 1984. Is it a typo? Should the Bank of America Center say 1975–1984? —Angr (talk) 14:00, 28 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

You are right. I fixed the error. Thanks for notifying! TheAustinMan (talk) 21:56, 28 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

No problem. I was just curious to see what buildings in Austin were the tallest in the period that I lived there (1977–90) and discovered a big gap! —Angr (talk) 05:05, 29 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

@TheAustinMan:, coming back to this article five years later, I've discovered that our article Dobie Center has a navbox suggesting that that building was the tallest in Austin from 1972 to 1984. Can that be verified, and if so, added to the list? —Aɴɢʀ (talk) 14:10, 16 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Featured list review?

I think this article needs to go through featured list review as it no longer meets featured list criteria. Specifically, two whole sections (Under constrcution and approved) are completely unsourced. There is an outdated tag from 3 years ago not addressed. There are many dead links, messy citations, and many of the buildings in the main list are unsourced. This would take a lot of work to bring it up to standards again sadly.

When to move under construction buildings to the main list

When is the appropriate time to move buildings from the Under Construction section to the actual list? At Fifth & West Residences, move-ins have already started - is this the proper time to add a building to the list? I'd like to see what other people think so we can have a policy going forward. Pixelsandbacon (talk) 14:25, 17 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Good point. This entire article is due for a significant renovation in the next year or so. I would also like to see the "Tallest in Texas" list updated with the new Austin towers in it. There are at least two, with the completion of The Independent, that need to go on that particular list. But I can't find an updated list from the rest of the cities in Texas to compare them with.

The Tallest Time line needs help

There needs to be a way to list the tallest building through time that does not include the Capitol building. Yes, it was the tallest for a long time but it is only 4 stories. The dome masks the development of Austin's Skyline until Way too Recently. Let's get a historical list of Austin's tall building working their way up to the Capitol height. 2600:1700:E0:1FB0:6423:CE04:5E38:3AD9 (talk) 18:25, 4 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

6th & Guadalupe Change

Since the 6th & Guadalupe tower has been topped out and is nearly complete, it should take the place as the tallest building from the independent. On top of this, the page for The Independent states it as the second tallest building in Austin, marking an inconsistency. Unfortunately I'm not adept enough at html to make this change, so I thought I'd suggest it instead. 97.132.209.194 (talk) 01:39, 11 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think 6th & Guadalupe is complete, but CTBUH lists it as such so I've relisted it accordingly. —TheAustinMan^{(Talk ⬩ Edits)} 17:10, 11 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Domain Tower II now complete. Relocate to completed list?

Hi everyone, I'm new to editing and love helping out by providing pictures and doing minor edits, but unfortunately I'm not skilled enough yet to move the Doman Tower II entry from the under construction table to the completed table.

Also, the building's height and floor number has changed since it was last edited. It is now 24 floors and 308 feet tall per the building's website.

There may be other buildings that need updating, but Domain Tower II is all I'm aware of currently. Cefalophore (talk) 15:11, 3 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
