List of tallest buildings in Washington, D.C.[edit]

Self nom. I along with Raime (talk · contribs) and Remember (talk · contribs) expanded this list and a lot of hard work has went into it to meet the FL criteria, any concerns will be addressed.--S_RX 02:28, 14 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

- Don't think that lead image is truely the "skyline" of Washington D.C.
  - I changed the caption.--S_RX 13:33, 14 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- "high rise" or "high-rise"?
  - "high-rise", fixed those instances.
- Basilica caption is complete sentence so needs a period.
  - Done

Comment Is the National Cathedral the second-largest or second-tallest? --Dem393 (talk) 19:43, 15 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Reply: "tallest", I reworded that.S_RX 19:52, 15 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  - Support Good job! --Dem393 (talk) 20:03, 15 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Reply: It is still wrong, I think. It may be the second tallest cathedral, but not the second tallest church; the National Shrine, also on this list, is taller, so the National Cathedral can't be any higher than #3. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.203.217.49 (talk) 22:04, 20 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  - Reply: Actually the National Shrine is a basilica, which differs from the church. There is a difference, so the National Shrine is (I think the biggest basilica in the U.S), while the Cathedral is the biggest church.S_RX 22:17, 20 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- The National Cathedral is the second-largest church (not tallest) in the United States, after the St. John's in NYC. At least, that's what the source says. The Washington Basilica is the largest Catholic church in the country, and the tallest occupied building in Washington. -epicAdam (talk) 01:45, 21 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  - Correct you are. Thank you for fixing that.--S_RX 21:02, 25 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Support: Article is well-written, complete, adequately sourced, and has some lovely pictures (I especially like the 19th century poster). The only minor issue I have with the article is that the general reference, "High-rise buildings in Washington", could be listed instead under External links. Other than that small issue, I believe this list should be promoted. -epicAdam (talk) 05:49, 26 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
