• "occupies almost an entire city block, occupying the entirety" occupy, entire, occupy, entire...
  • Fixed. I did not realize that. This is why it's good to have a second look. epicgenius (talk) 19:48, 5 April 2020 (UTC)
• We have an article on First transcontinental telephone call.
  • Linked.
• "195 Broadway remains in use as" probably could use an "as of 2020" here.
  • Done.
• "195-207 " en-dash.
  • Done.
• "who had taken the role at AT&T in " no need to repeat "at AT&T"
  • Removed.
• " in 1911–1914" never keen on "in" and then a range. Why not "between 1911 and 1914"? A few of these...
  • Fixed.
• "The Western Union Telegraph Building was.." caption needs a period.
  • Done.
• "14-18 Dey" en-dash.
• "172-174 Fulton Street" likewise.
  • Done both.
• "195 Broadway is..." image caption needs a period.
  • Done.
• " indicating changes in its " I would suggest "reflecting" rather than "indicating" here?
  • Done.
• "1927[26] and of the first transatlantic telephone call, made to London, England, also in 1927.[10][2] " move all refs to the end and order.
  • Done.
• "to Peter Kalikow" who? context?
  • Added.
• "the western part of the block back to a hotel.[39] The western part of the block " repetitive.
  • Done.
• "75 by 77 feet (23 by 23 m)" looks odd when feet are different and metres are same.
  • Fixed - I rounded the meters to the nearest 10 cm. epicgenius (talk) 19:48, 5 April 2020 (UTC)
• "three sets of 4 bays" four.
  • Done.
• " by Greek Ionic " all previous mentions of Ionic have just be Ionic, is Greek Ionic in this case somehow special?
  • Nope, removed. epicgenius (talk) 19:48, 5 April 2020 (UTC)
• "1,000,000 square feet " I'd be tempted (as it's not precise) to say "a million".
  • Done.
• "There were formerly 28 elevators serving the office floors.[24] As of 2020, there are " I would merge.
  • Done.
• "The Millennium Hilton blocks ..." caption needs a period.
  • Done.
• You also previously used the full title, i.e. Millennium Hilton New York Downtown, so I'd do that here too to avoid any ambiguity.
  • Done.
• "f loading docks[53] 35 feet (11 m) deep.[65]" horrible ref placement.
  • Moved.
• "The most famous" touch of POV here, according to whom?
  • Well, I didn't add it. So I removed it. epicgenius (talk) 19:48, 5 April 2020 (UTC)
• " of bronze.[78][71]" order.
  • Done.
• "notable tenants include:" just drop "notable".
  • Done.
• Ref 26 spaced hyphen - en-dash please!
  • Fixed.

That's it, another cracking article, just a few notes to make it super-smart. On hold. Cheers. The Rambling Man (Staying alive since 2005!) 18:42, 5 April 2020 (UTC)

• @The Rambling Man: Thanks for another review. I appreciate it. I think we have improved a lot of articles together over the past few days. epicgenius (talk) 19:48, 5 April 2020 (UTC)

Good work again. And yes, I think we're getting through some of your backlog! Promoting this now. Cheers. The Rambling Man (Staying alive since 2005!) 20:43, 5 April 2020 (UTC)
