List of tallest buildings in Bellevue, Washington

[edit]

I am nominating this list as a featured list because it is a well-referenced and informative article. The introduction and content is concise and clear. The categories are easy to navigate. It also gives readers links to the more notable buildings and also gives statistics to the less notable buildings, without any buildings left out of the list. The pictures are not excessive. Instead, it nicely shows the reader the overall landscape and the tallest structure in Bellevue. The quality of the article should achieve a featured list article status.Huang7776 (talk) 05:52, 1 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Resolved comments from The Rambling Man (talk) 18:38, 10 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comments
    • "city's 450 ft (137 m) height limit" is there a need to repeat the conversion here right after the previous one?
      Done.
    • "The Bellevue Skyline" skyline doesn't need capitalising.
      Done.
    • " citys' 24 tallest ", "Bellevues'" apostrophe incorrectly located.
      Fixed.
    • "the city could double its highrise count within the next few years" a little speculative and not particularly encyclopaedic.
      Agree, removed.
    • " under construction, approved, and proposed " "...or proposed"?
      Changed it - using "or" and leaving out the comma is the standard for all other tallest building lists.
    • "Existing structures are included for ranking purposes based on present height." - what are these? Are there any?
      Done; I reworded it to read "Topped out structures are included for ranking purposes based on present height" - all of these topped out structures are clearly labeled as such.
    • Sentence fragments (i.e incomplete ones) don't take full stops.
      Done; all table cells now use full sentences.
    • "1990's" 1990s.
      Fixed.

Sorry but I have been busy (but I now have some time on my hands). If there are any other concerns I will try to fix them as soon as possible. Thanks. Leitmanp (talk | contributions) 23:50, 11 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment/Oppose A few comments before I support.

  • "This lists ranks" grammar: This list ranks...
    • Done.
  • "Table entry without text indicate that information regarding building height have not yet been released." have --> has
    • Done.
  • "This lists buildings that are approved for construction in Bellevue and are planned to rise at least 150 feet (46 m)." This should be "...to rise to at least" or " to rise at least 150 feet from ground level. As it is, the sentence (repeated numerous times in the list) is unfinished.
    • Done.
  • "Table entry without text indicate that information regarding building height have not yet been released." should be Table entries without text indicate that information regarding building height have not yet been released. or Table entry without text indicates that information regarding building height have not yet been released. As it is, the sentence is not grammatical correct.
    • Done.
  • "The Bravern - Tower I" This should be an emdash per WP:DASH
    • Done, fixed all instances of this.
  • Can you centre align the numbers in the columns: "floors" and "year." That looks better and is convention.
    • But doing so would make 2 out of 5 columns centered, leaving 3 out of 5 left-aligned, which would be awkward IMO. The convention for building lists, at least, is to leave all columns left-aligned. Cheers, Rai•me 22:43, 13 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

So, a few things to sort out before I can give it another look and support. Regards. Woody (talk) 22:00, 13 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Thanks for the review and cheers, Rai•me 22:43, 13 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    • Looks good, I fixed a typo, but other than that, looked good. After looking through the other tallest building lists, I see that left aligned number columns is the norm. I prefer them to be centre aligned as it looks neater, but that is personal preference. I don't think columns containing text should be. Either way, I now support. Regards.
