George W. Vanderbilt Residence at 647 Fifth Avenue

Created by Epicgenius (talk). Self-nominated at 22:26, 19 June 2021 (UTC).Reply

General: Article is new enough and long enough
Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
  • Cited:  
  • Interesting:  
QPQ: Done.

Overall:   There's no doubt that this article is long enough; main hook is sourced, ALT 1 is sourced, ALT 2 is sourced but scattered; Earwig generates a good result; QPQ done. Judging this from a non-American perspective, the main hook is too long and too idiomatic for readers to understand, ALT 1 is very confusing for those who never knew about Vanderbilt. ALT 2 on the other hand is very quirky and I've proposed an ALT blurb for this: ALT2A:... that the George W. Vanderbilt Residence (pictured) has never been occupied by Vanderbilt himself?

Comments

edit
  • Move "Use mdy dates" below the hatnote.
  • Add alt text to every image being used.
  • "aboveground" should be two words.
  • "in a manner similar to" - kinda wordy
  • "on the site to designs" - reword
  • Add a serial comma after "a new mezzanine".
  • "through second story" → "through the second story"
  • "the plan an" → "the plan as an"
  • Wikilink The New York Times and Alex Kuczynski.
