Formatting changes - detrimental

[edit]

@Beyond My Ken: I appreciate the work you are putting into this, but can we please collaborate, and discuss optimizing the page, instead of writing over each other and choosing one vision over another arbitrarily? Some of your changes undid changes that I made that I thought benefited the article. Your recent changes include the following:

  • Put the long sentence describing the multiple frontages and addresses into the main text. I had moved it to a note because it is a relatively unimportant detail and clutters the text, especially in the lede. I left in a description of its location.
  • Combined two headings in the main text. I added separate headings because 1) it made it easier to read, and 2) it made organizational sense.
  • Changed around headings in the footnotes. I don't think they make sense the way they are now - the notes (one note now due to a chnage you made) is not a reference, but not it is inside "references."
  • Some other changes that I'm fine with.

Shall we discuss? I'm committed to dialog with you rather than just making changes myself without consulting. Dovid (talk) 21:10, 14 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Bennett Building
Bennett Building

5x expanded by Epicgenius (talk). Self-nominated at 22:37, 7 September 2020 (UTC).[reply]

  • New 10x expansion, well cited, no policy issues.
I like the more positive aspects of ALT0 & ALT3, but I think in both cases the "described as" phrase just interrupts the flow. Also, ALT3 says the building was "notable", but it really still is notable for being the tallest cast-iron building. I think ALT5 addresses both.
  • ALT5:... that the Bennett Building (pictured), once one of New York's most prominent buildings, is probably the world's tallest building with a cast-iron facade? Source: NY Times 1996
Epicgenius, are you OK with ALT5, and still need QPQ. MB 20:45, 12 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@MB: Thanks for the QPQ. I think ALT5 would be pretty good as well. I've also done a QPQ now. epicgenius (talk) 19:55, 13 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I am planning on reviewing this article for GA Status, over the next couple of days. Thank you for nominating the article for GA status. I hope I will learn some new information, and that my feedback is helpful.

If nominators or editors could refrain from updating the particular section that I am updating until it is complete, I would appreciate it to remove a edit conflict. Please address concerns in the section that has been completed above (If I've raised concerns up to references, feel free to comment on things like the lede.)

I generally provide an overview of things I read through the article on a first glance. Then do a thorough sweep of the article after the feedback is addressed. After this, I will present the pass/failure. I may use strikethrough tags when concerns are met. Even if something is obvious why my concern is met, please leave a message as courtesy.

Best of luck! you can also use the {{done}} tag to state when something is addressed. Lee Vilenski (talkcontribs)

Please let me know after the review is done, if you were happy with the review! Obviously this is regarding the article's quality, however, I want to be happy and civil to all, so let me know if I have done a good job, regardless of the article's outcome.

Immediate Failures

  • It is not stable due to edit warring on the page. -
