  • Comment: I will definitely add more hooks later

• The article was promoted to GA, long enough, referenced, neutral and no copyvio obvious. The hooks are sourced and interesting. Images in the article are free. Just waiting for QPQ and other possible hooks. Corachow (talk) 21:12, 29 June 2022 (UTC)
  • Thanks for the review and sorry for the delay. I've added my QPQ and will think of a couple of hooks tomorrow. Epicgenius (talk) 04:51, 3 July 2022 (UTC)
    • PInging reviewer Corachow now that QPQ has been added. BlueMoonset (talk) 16:40, 9 July 2022 (UTC)
      • I was waiting for additional hooks but since it's been a few days I guess there's none. Approving everything here. Corachow (talk) 18:06, 9 July 2022 (UTC)

        Thanks @Corachow. Sorry to keep you waiting for so long. I thought there could be other potential hooks, but for everything I thought of, the fact either wasn't that interesting or 30 Rockefeller Plaza wasn't the main subject. – Epicgenius (talk) 22:31, 9 July 2022 (UTC)
