- ALT3: ... that the cornerstone laying ceremonies of the Southern Railway Building (pictured) and the U.S. Capitol used the same trowel and gavel?--Launchballer 08:43, 6 May 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks, Launchballer. Ideally I'd like to include Washington in the hook, but it might just make it too wordy to do so. I like your ALT though, and wouldn't object to it being used.DrOrinScrivello (talk) 13:17, 6 May 2024 (UTC)
- Article is new enough and long enough.
- There's a few phrases from National Register of Historic Places Registration Form which could be rewritten to avoid WP:CLOP issues, but I don't see anything severe enough to make a fuss over.
- Sources all appear to be WP:RS
- QPQ satisfied.
- Any of ALT0, ALT1, ALT2, or ALT3 are approved, but ALT0 seems the best. I'll also suggest that "the same as" could be dropped to save a few words without changing the meaning; I'll leave it up to the promoter to decide if they want to do that. RoySmith (talk) 16:18, 10 May 2024 (UTC)
