Wrong information

Most of the tallest in the world info is wrong. Use the link and update promptly. S51438 (talk) 21:54, 2 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Tallest skyscrapers list

It is simply too long and includes not as well known buildings. I think it should be narrowed to the Top 20.SirChan (talk) 17:26, 22 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It is customary for tallest buildings lists to have a cut-off point by height and not rank. Whether a building is well-known or not is not the point of the list. This list is meant to compile information about Houston's buildings. See Wikipedia:WikiProject Skyscrapers/Tallest building lists for more information regarding format of tallest buildings lists.

The rankings are out of date. I corrected a couple of them, WIlliams and Bank America but I didn't bother to correct all of them. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 206.212.89.240 (talk) 17:54, 4 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Panoramic image

Raime suggested a different panoramic image for this list. I looked on Commons, but could not find a good image. The only one that came close was Image:Houston skyline from southeast at night.jpg. Since it was taken at night, it is very dark and hard to see anything. The image can possibly be brightened so the buildings can be visible.

Allen Center and Qatar Airways

Is allen Center managed by the same people? If so, it should be merged into one article. Plus, http://www.qatarairways.com/global/en/offices/contactus_unitedstates_houston.html Qatar Airways has offices there. WhisperToMe (talk) 19:50, 4 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
