Welcome to WikiProject Skyscrapers. Some Wikipedians have formed this collaboration resource and group dedicated to improving Wikipedia's coverage of skyscrapers and the organization of information and articles on this topic. This page and its subpages contain their suggestions and various resources; it is hoped that this project will help to focus the efforts of other Wikipedians interested in the topic. If you would like to help, please join the project, inquire on the talk page and see the to-do list below.

Goals

This WikiProject aims:

  1. To improve Wikipedia's coverage of skyscrapers by creating, expanding, and maintaining articles relating to skyscrapers, highrises, towers, building lists and related articles.
  2. To provide guidelines and recommendations for articles related to skyscrapers.
  3. To serve as a point of discussion for issues related to skyscrapers in general in Wikipedia.

News

Scope

  • All articles relating to skyscrapers, high-rises, and towers are considered to be within the scope of this project. This includes all "tallest building" lists.
  • Please feel free to join the project and expand its scope in any necessary directions.

There are also two additional lists for semi-active and inactive members who have few or no edits in the last 365 days respectively. If you have recently returned to Wikipedia after an extended absence and can't find your name below, it may have been moved to one of those; please feel free to move it back.

Assessment
{{Wikipedia:Version 1.0 Editorial Team/Skyscraper articles by quality statistics}}

Assessments

In order to easily identify articles in need of attention, article assessments have been implemented. These are generated using the optional class and importance parameters in the Template:Tl project banner on an article's talk page:

{{WikiProject Skyscrapers| class= | importance= }}

The statistics at right are updated daily (or every other day) by an automated bot. See the subpage /Assessment for details.

  • November 8, 2007: Article tagging and assessments have been implemented.
  • November 10, 2007: Over 750 pages have been tagged and more than 500 articles have been assessed.
  • December 18, 2007: Over 1500 pages tagged and assessed.
  • August 1, 2008: Over 1850 pages tagged and assessed.
  • September 4, 2008: Over 2000 pages tagged and assessed.

Categorization

The root categories for this WikiProject are Category:Skyscrapers and Category:Towers. Both root categories and their associated subcategories should be tagged with {{WikiProject Skyscrapers}}. Please note that both main categories themselves are subcategories of Category:Buildings and structures, which contains some categories that are out of scope of this project. Consider discussing with other project members if you are unsure if a particular category belongs to this project before adding {{WikiProject Skyscrapers}} on the category talk page.

The major categories, Category:Skyscrapers and Category:Towers, should be reserved for articles about types of skyscrapers and towers, respectively, while specific individual skyscrapers, towers and high-rises should be listed in the appropriate subcategories.

If an article about a skyscraper is added to the project, please ensure that it has the correct country-specific, area-specific, and city-specific skyscraper category as neccesary, e.g. Category:Skyscrapers in the United States, Category:Skyscrapers in Osaka Prefecture, Category:Skyscrapers in Dubai. For towers, please ensure that it has the correct country-specific, region-specific, or type-specific tower category, e.g. Category:Clock towers in Turkey , Category:Pylons, Category:Fictional towers. Also consider adding a link to the article in the appropriate list article, such as List of tallest buildings in New York City, List of tallest buildings in Hong Kong, List of towers, etc.

Next, please ensure that it has the correct skyscraper and/or tower type categories (one or more, in some cases). Here are some major categories for skyscrapers and towers:

Skyscrapers
Towers

Images

Template:Sister project Wikimedia Commons has many images of skyscrapers, towers and city skylines. Many of these photos would make useful additions to many of our articles here which may be lacking adequate illustrations. Beware that certain countries do not have freedom of panorama. In accordance with Wikipedia:Copyrights, files that are subject to copyright should not be used in any article. For further details, see Commons:Freedom of panorama#Situation in different countries.

Please see the Commons categories at right, or try searching on Commons since many images available there are not properly categorized yet.

Issues of ongoing concern

  • Any patterns of of obvious vandalism should be reported to AIV, once the perpetrator has been appropriately warned.
  • Copyright violations should be reported to CP for text or FFD for files. Particularly wide-ranging problems may be reported to CCI.
  • The spamming of unsourced changes may also be reported to AIV if the offending user has ignored warnings to stop following a discussion.
  • Other issues that fall below these levels of concern, i.e. do not require immediate action, can be listed below or addressed on the talk page here, or on the architecture, or engineering talk pages for wider input. This may include reports of persistent but low levels of vandalism, pages that need some additional watching, talk page discussions that need wider input, current XFDs or RFCs that concern the project, etc.

Current issues listed here:

Please consider adding persistently vandalized articles to your watchlist, to help in reverting, and to counter any vandalism that resumes once semi-protection expires. Even during the period of semi-protection, some articles continue to be vandalized by recently registered accounts. Registered users who chronically vandalize articles can be reported to AIV even if they have not received many recent warnings if the user is obviously NOTHERE, or running a VOA. Unregistered users (or IPs) may also be reported with few or no recent warnings if they resume disruption immediately upon expiry of a previous block.

If you find any other articles within the scope of this project which are being heavily vandalized by multiple users whether registered, unregistered, or some combination of both, so that requesting individual blocks is unlikely to prove effective (as a rough standard, over 10 vandals per day, or continual vandalism for several days such that the last 50+ edits are all vandalism and reverts, or 10+ vandalism / revert edits in 30 minutes), please report them at Wikipedia:Requests for page protection and add them to the list above.

More articles or pages in need of attention could be found here at Category:Unreferenced skyscraper articles and Category:Skyscraper pages needing attention.
