5x expanded by Epicgenius (talk). Self-nominated at 15:19, 29 January 2024 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Andrew Carnegie Mansion; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.
- @Epicgenius:
5x expanded and long enough. Comprehensive article and Earwig is 27% and only alerts to titles. QPQ is done and article is referenced, cited correctly and neutral. The image is free and renders well at this size. Under Site In a spot check of citations I am unable to confirm the 1902 date in this sentence "the mansion was near the north end of Fifth Avenue's Millionaires' Row when it was finished in 1902". I spot checked twenty other citations that matched.
- AlT0 slight inconsistency - the source says begged for "the" job, but our hook says "a" job.
- ALT1 states several doorways were shortened but we only list one shortened doorway in our article "The doorway to the office was only 6 feet (1.8 m) high"
- I prefer those hooks if we can correct them and make them line up with our article. Bruxton (talk) 04:45, 2 February 2024 (UTC)
- @Epicgenius: I see you corrected the 1902 issue Special:Diff/1202352925, and I will adjust the hooks above. Let me know if they are a good interpretation of the sources.

@Bruxton: Thanks for the review. I have no problem with the content of these hooks, though they will need a third editor to look at them, so I will mark these hooks as needing review. Epicgenius (talk) 18:52, 2 February 2024 (UTC)
- @Epicgenius: If you had corrected them first.... it is my fault for being too quick. Good article EG and I am excited to review this as a GAN. Bruxton (talk) 19:24, 2 February 2024 (UTC)
