Overall: Very nice work! I'm surprised the Continental Iron Works page didn't exist before last month, given its importance in Northern Brooklyn history. In any case, both articles are good to go. epicgenius (talk) 14:17, 15 September 2020 (UTC)

Thank you, Epicgenius! I too am very surprised that nobody got around to writing it earlier - it was on my own "to do" list for years, but somehow I never quite got around to it. I finally found the motivation to tackle it after somebody changed it from a redirect a few weeks ago :) Gatoclass (talk) 14:31, 15 September 2020 (UTC)
