I will review this article and will make any minor formatting/copyediting edits as I go. Feel free to revert me if I break anything. Some thoughts:

Check the dead links
Images showing the Shard should be tagged with {Template:FoP-UK}
"...threatening to render the project an example of the Skyscraper Index" should be sourced, perhaps with [1].
I don't see anything on the area of the different floors in the page cited.
"Demolition work on New London Bridge House started in May 2009, as part of the concurrent London Bridge Place project" – how is this relevant to the Shard? Is it the same as London Bridge Quarter?
Is the reason known for the "pause in March–April 2010"?
I'm having trouble visualizing the tower's "backpack"; is there a better way to phrase that?
Add {{convert}} for "500-tonne".
You should remove the construction gallery and move some of the images to the Construction section.
It is past the end of 2013; is the Shangri-La Hotel open yet?
FNs 51 and 58 should be formatted to prevent linkrot.

I'm putting this on hold until these initial comments are addressed. ~Hue Sat Lum 16:17, 7 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Apologies for intruding on the review (I know how irritating it can be), but I felt that I ought to ask: shouldn't there be a section of reaction to the building's architecture? I am thinking of the many, many responses that this landmark has produced in the media and elsewhere, which the article doesn't seem to consider. As someone who's keenly interested in the building I felt compelled to say. MasterOfHisOwnDomain (talk) 17:57, 19 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hmm, that's a good idea. Unfortunately, the nominator has not been very active lately; I've left them a note on their talk page. ~Hue Sat Lum 18:50, 19 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I'm afraid I am going to have to fail this due to inactivity; the nominator has not responded since I began the review almost three weeks ago. Atotalstranger, feel free to nominate again when you have more free time. ~Hue Sat Lum 16:03, 21 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
