5x expanded by Epicgenius (talk). Self-nominated at 17:59, 17 November 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/555 Edgecombe Avenue; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.
@Epicgenius: Can't use the unattributed ALT0 or the uncertain ALT1 (sources vary and we need WP:V) Our article adds a note to call out the variation of 2 or 3 years. ALT3 did not interest me. I have confirmed ALT2 as interesting and cited in the article. Earwig shows 24% and it only alerts to titles. The image is free and it renders well. The article has been five times expanded and nominated within the time frame allowed. The article is neutral. Good comprehensive article like I have come to expect from EG. My question is, can you add the names of a few African-American celebrities? At the moment the article makes the claim and my curiosity makes me want to click and see, but the source is offline.

- Thanks for the review Bruxton. How about:
- ALT2A: ... that 555 Edgecombe Avenue, once named for a British soldier and occupied entirely by white Americans, later attracted notable African-Americans like Paul Robeson and Count Basie? The Daily News source says "Paul Robeson, Count Basie, Duke Ellington, Langston Hughes, Zora Neale Hurston, Lena Horne, Joe Louis and Jackie Robinson all called the building home."

- Thanks for the review Bruxton. How about:
- @Epicgenius: I was referring to the article rather than the hook. But now I see that I missed the names as they are in the article! The new ALT also works. Thanks and happy new year! Bruxton (talk) 21:39, 31 December 2023 (UTC)
