  • ALT2:... that unrepaired shrapnel marks on 23 Wall Street, caused by the 1920 Wall Street bombing, were later described as a "badge of honor"? Source: Vartan, Vartanig G. (July 31, 1963).

5x expanded by Epicgenius (talk). Self-nominated at 03:16, 6 February 2021 (UTC).

• Article was 5x expanded in the last 7 days (3834b to 25kb). QPQ has been completed. Article is well-written and adequately cited. No pings on Earwigs for copyvio or close paraphrasing. Hooks are interesting, cited, and short enough for DYK. Morgan695 (talk) 18:49, 6 February 2021 (UTC)

Widget Image

So, a bit of a concerning discovery. The featured article widget on iOS still shows the vandalism from 4:14 GMT this morning, where a user changed the article image to Urethral_Play, resulting in a rather unsavoury sight for anyone that uses the widget. If an admin can look into this, that would be great. SufficientChipmunk3 (talk) 13:16, 30 March 2023 (UTC)

@SufficientChipmunk3: It may be worth asking an admin to add this to the bad image list at MediaWiki talk:Bad image list. I've just done that now. Epicgenius (talk) 13:28, 30 March 2023 (UTC)

Optical illusion

The article describes the chamfered corner entrance, but the first two images in the article are taken from such a position on the FH steps that the building appears quite narrow and the chamfer looks like a right angle. Is this known to be intentional by the architect, or just something that photographers have discovered? Should an image that more clearly shows the chamfer appear first? 2601:642:4600:BE10:D9C1:7C68:AE56:5A52 (talk) 03:35, 20 February 2024 (UTC)
