- Comment: QPQ pending, more hooks later
Improved to Good Article status by Epicgenius (talk). Self-nominated at 16:02, 24 September 2022 (UTC).
Substantial article, meeting of GA criteria implicates DYK pass. Article was nominated within seven days of passing GAR. Only pings on Earwigs are for long proper titles and attributed quotes. Image is properly licensed, used in article, and reproduces well at a small size. Hooks are interesting, cited, and short enough for DYK; AGF on offline source in ALT3. I think ALT2 is the most interesting. Ping me when you've completed you QPQ and I'll pass this. Morgan695 (talk) 23:40, 26 September 2022 (UTC)
- @Morgan695: Thanks for the review. I have now done a QPQ. Epicgenius (talk) 14:24, 28 September 2022 (UTC)

- ALT4: ... that the word "HI" displayed on the façade of 2 Columbus Circle was implemented by accident?
- That sounds good to me. Epicgenius (talk) 21:21, 18 October 2022 (UTC)
