Well written and comprehensive article, so I nominated it as a good article Rpvdk 19:28, 12 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. I am very new here, so please let me know if I need to be doing anything differently/better.

I would like to suggest, or possibly edit myself, this article to include some mention of the term interstitial. The article reads in the very first paragraph ""Mechanical" is the most commonly-used term, but words such as utility, technical, service, and plant are also used." This is where I think there could be some mention of the term interstitial as being used too. I am familiar with this as I work at a consulting engineering firm and have taken part in designing mechanical HVAC systems for various types of buildings. One building in particular had an interstitial space that was dedicated to mechanical equipment.

Hi Eric! Welcome to Wikipedia. I'm replying late so this may be old news to you, anyway, we encourage you to make changes like the one you mentionned. Unless the change is major or controversial, it's perfectly fine to put it in the article directly; others will then improve on it if need be. If you want to explain a change, you can put a summary in the Edit summary field, or a longer explantion in the talk page like you did. Lawrence Lavigne 22:37, August 29, 2005 (UTC)

GA Failed[edit]

This article failed due to lack of references. Tarret 13:18, 13 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Increases in building sizes[edit]

I am curious: it says in the article, quoting: "In some legislations they have been excluded from maximum floor area calculations, leading to significant increases in building sizes...", but shouldn't it be the opposite, i.e. if the floors have been excluded wouldn't this leade to decreases in building sizes, and reversed, if the floors have been included wouldn't this leade to increases in building sizes??

Removed self-referential sentence[edit]

I removed the following from the article:

...however this article focuses on the cases of the best-known, tallest skyscrapers with significant structural, mechanical and aesthetics concerns.

The manual of style suggests that we not refer to "this article" in any section. I'll try to reword it without making the self-referential comment. --Rkitko 08:08, 14 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Rating for WP:Architecture[edit]

I just rated the article as start class for the project. In order to be elevated to B class and above, it should have references, preferably inline citations. Altairisfar _talk 23:33, 31 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
