1.

• " having filed bankruptcy due" - I believe the technically correct phrasing is "having filed for bankruptcy due"
  •  Done
• Infobox gives 39 floors, the lead gives 35.
  •  Fixed
• Link Manhattan Island
  •  Done
• Consider linking Heisman Trophy in the Interior section, it hasn't bee linked in the prose body yet.
  •  Done
• Not sure if racquet is what you mean to link to. Context suggests racquetball, while you link to the piece of sports equipment itself.
  •  Done
• Founding and clubhouse construction also gives 35 stories, as does one of the sources. Are the sources ambiguous as to height?
  • No, but Emporis counts the attic floors. epicgenius (talk) 23:46, 2 May 2020 (UTC)
• "The Downtown Athletic Club reacquired title to the club in 1950, having signed a 10-year mortgage with the Connecticut Mutual Life Insurance Company." - It seems like reacquired title to the building would make more sense than reacquired title to the club. Reacquiring title to the club could be understood as losing title to the organization itself.
  • Oops, I did mean "building" but got confused. I have fixed that. epicgenius (talk) 23:46, 2 May 2020 (UTC)
• Back taxes is linked, but not at the first mention. Can the link be moved to the first mention?
  •  Done
• "However, the Downtown Athletic Club was unable to pay back the $8.3 mortgage." - The however seems a bit odd since the preceding sentence is directly setting up the financial woes by stating that it was incurring a substantial monthly loss.
  •  Fixed
• Heisman Trophy is a duplink
  •  Removed

2.

• Ref 23 - The title should be "New York landmark's closing leaves Heisman homeless". The author should also be included.
  •  Done
• Ref 61 needs an accessdate
  •  Done
• Ref 56 doesn't support the statement given. It looks like the URL redirects to another part of the organization's website now.
  •  Removed
• Ref 49 needs the author
  •  Done

• The external link isn't needed, it's used as a citation.
  • I removed the citation above, since it doesn't support the text. So it is no longer the case that the link is used as a citation. epicgenius (talk) 00:02, 3 May 2020 (UTC)

This one's in pretty good shape. Placing on hold. Shouldn't take a lot to get this up to GA-status, good work. Hog Farm (talk) 23:16, 2 May 2020 (UTC)
