South Bay Tower

edit

Is the South Bay Tower legitimate? I can't seem to find anything on it. Hiberniantears 22:13, 2 March 2007 (UTC)Reply

The South Bay Tower is legitimate; it is also being called the "Gateway Center", and has been proposed to be constructed on a 10-acre area of land that has opened up due to the Big Dig. Its link on Emporis.com can be found here: . There is alo an entry on SkyscraperPage.

Elevation: Hancock and Prudential

edit

I was listening to WBCN in Boston, they said in calculating "Elevation above sea level + Building height", the top of the Pru is slightly higher than the top of the Hancock building. Is this true? --Mr Accountable (talk) 21:22, 29 September 2008 (UTC)Reply

ALT text missing

edit

The images featured in this list are missing ALT text that has recently become one of the points of the Featured list criteria. The list therefore fails 5b of the Featured list criteria and should have ALT text added to keep its status.--Diaa abdelmoneim (talk) 20:39, 28 September 2009 (UTC)Reply

The Alcott tower

edit

I would think it would be in the good name of Wikipedia if we added as much information as possible. Could someone make a page for The Alcott tower. Thank you Okay flow 356 (talk) 21:43, 16 October 2022 (UTC)Reply

Original research

edit

This article includes building heights determined by an editor using calculations that were by consensus at Wikipedia:No_original_research/Noticeboard#Use_of_Google_Earth-based_calculations_for_building_heights considered to be original research. I added a maintenance template as a result and am posting here for editors who have this page watchlisted since the presence of original research may result in this page's future delisting as a featured list.

It was simple enough to undo the edit where the user added that bit. Should be all set now. Grk1011 (talk) 17:31, 7 March 2026 (UTC)Reply
Right, but now that building is left with a completely unsourced height measurement labeled an "estimate." Not suitable for a featured list. Dclemens1971 (talk) 20:38, 7 March 2026 (UTC)Reply
Ok, I added a ref for that. Grk1011 (talk) 15:49, 8 March 2026 (UTC)Reply
