Wikipedia:Peer review/List of tallest buildings in St. Louis/archive1

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This peer review discussion has been closed.
This article was recently an unsuccessful FLC, and the main concern was the reliability of sources. I'm definitely willing to find more reliable sources, but I also want suggestions on further improvements. Thanks,  fetchcomms 20:14, 28 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]


Mostly the type of review I do doesn't apply to lists, but I have a few comments:

  • St. Louis as 59th largest city needs a footnote explaining that it is an independent city which skews comparisons to other US cities and that St. Louis comprises the 18th ranked metropolitan area.
  • The Eagleton Courthouse is listed as number 3 but the note say it was the tallest building in the 2000's, yet number 1 and 2 were built in the 1980's???
  • One City Centre: Might want to note that it is no longer a shopping mall, current wording seems like it is just no longer the largest.
  • Ballpark Village: LOL

If you are going to go back to the Old Courthouse in the historical list, why does the lead not cover this history. I guess I am not sure how leads should work in lists, but I would think they would overview all of the subsequent lists in the article. Otherwise I guess I would expect this kind of list to have pictures as part of the table.--BirgitteSB 00:20, 29 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  • Adding note.
  • It was the tallest one built in the 2000s, that is to say, no new buildings in the 2000s are taller than it, but that does not mean it is not shorter than older buildings.
  • Adding note as well
  • Well... it might happen... :P

I discussed a few items on the historical list, like the Wainwright Building and Railway Exchange Building. I'll see if I can add the Old Courthouse, as it seems rather significant.  fetchcomms 00:39, 29 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
