Hello, I am planning on reviewing this article for GA Status, over the next couple of days. Thank you for nominating the article for GA status. I hope I will learn some new information, and that my feedback is helpful.

If nominators or editors could refrain from updating the particular section that I am updating until it is complete, I would appreciate it to remove a edit conflict. Please address concerns in the section that has been completed above (If I've raised concerns up to references, feel free to comment on things like the lede.)

I generally provide an overview of things I read through the article on a first glance. Then do a thorough sweep of the article after the feedback is addressed. After this, I will present the pass/failure. I may use strikethrough tags when concerns are met. Even if something is obvious why my concern is met, please leave a message as courtesy.

Best of luck! you can also use the {{done}} tag to state when something is addressed. Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)}

Please let me know after the review is done, if you were happy with the review! Obviously this is regarding the article's quality, however, I want to be happy and civil to all, so let me know if I have done a good job, regardless of the article's outcome.

Immediate Failures

• It is a long way from meeting any one of the six good article criteria -
• It contains copyright infringements -
• It has, or needs, cleanup banners that are unquestionably still valid. These include{{cleanup}}, {{POV}}, {{unreferenced}} or large numbers of {{citation needed}}, {{clarify}}, or similar tags. (See also {{QF-tags}}). -
• It is not stable due to edit warring on the page. -

Prose

Lede

• 251–257 Broadway in Lower Manhattan - perhaps the numbers could come later, the lede sentence can just say where it is. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 22:02, 29 October 2020 (UTC)
  •  Done
• The references in infobox,what do they cite? Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 22:02, 29 October 2020 (UTC)
  • These are basically references for the heights, architects, materials, and construction date. I decided to cluster them here for simplicity. Of course, these are also cited in the body per WP:INFOBOXCITE. epicgenius (talk) 23:05, 29 October 2020 (UTC)
• The third and fourth bold seem overkill. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 22:02, 29 October 2020 (UTC)
  •  Done
• clad with marble, and the Postal Telegraph Building is clad with - is there another word for clad? Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 22:02, 29 October 2020 (UTC)
  •  Done
• The Home Life Company bought 253 Broadway in 1947, and the two buildings were joined internally to form a single structure. - any idea when it began to be referred to as a single structure? Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 22:02, 29 October 2020 (UTC)
  • Immediately afterward, these became known as a single structure. epicgenius (talk) 23:05, 29 October 2020 (UTC)

General

Not much wrong, pretty nitpicky stuff.

• the neoclassical style.[7][11][4] - reforder Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 22:08, 29 October 2020 (UTC)
  •  Done
• A couple redlinks - are they all notable? Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 22:08, 29 October 2020 (UTC)
  • I think the red links for the architects are probably notable, though I haven't created these pages yet. epicgenius (talk) 23:05, 29 October 2020 (UTC)
• roof.[18][2][19][20][d - do we need four refs here? Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 22:08, 29 October 2020 (UTC)
