• "also known as Tammany Hall. It is known as Tammany Hall's" a shade repetitive.
  • Fixed.
• " or "wigwam".[1]" I don't think this is essential for the lead and without explanation feels a little odd there.
  • Removed.
• "44 Union Square replaced a former Tammany headquarters on nearby 14th Street. " I'm mildly confused, do you mean the HQ of Tammany moved? The building surely didn't replace one on a nearby street...
  • Yes, that is what I meant. epicgenius (talk)
• "a city landmark.[1] " no need for the ref in the lead assuming it's mentioned and referenced in the main prose.
  • Fixed.
• "Starting in 2016, the former Tammany Hall Building was renovated..." not keen on "Starting from..."
  • Fixed.
• "1910-1911" en-dash.
  • Fixed.
• "Consolidated Gas (later Con Edison) Building" I wouldn't put the "later Con Edison" into the pipe.
  • Fixed.
• "the chief of the Lenape that originally" wouldn't "who" work better than "that"?
  • Done.
• "D&D sold " who's D&D?
  • Fixed, I mentioned D & D Company in the previous sentence. epicgenius (talk) 19:33, 1 April 2020 (UTC)
• Consider inflation for some of this historic values.
  • Done.
• "while the new headquarters' construction represented its future" this is mildly whimsical and probably needs attribution if someone said this.
  • Done, I think it was in the source.
• "access to graft" I'm sorry I don't know what that means. Do you mean "cheap labor"?
  • Removed.
• Link Times Square first time.
  • Done.
• "Square Theatre.[56][53]" ref order if poss.
  • Done.
• American colonial is overlinked.
  • Fixed.
• " is located in the center of the facade and is located" needlessly repetitive.
  • Fixed.
• The decimal places for area conversion are probably unnecessary.
  • Fixed.
• "in 2016[64] to make" move ref to end.
  • Fixed.

That's all I have, it's a very nice, comprehensive article, the above are just some suggestions. On hold while we discuss. Cheers. The Rambling Man (Staying alive since 2005!) 19:06, 1 April 2020 (UTC)
