• "127.5 acres (0.516 km2;" I think converting to hectares (as you do below) rather than km2 is more appropriate.
  • Done.
• "to the Bathgate family" any chance of a few words of context since the family isn't linked?

  • Done.
• Could also link Manhattan.
  • Done.

  • Oh yeah, good catch. epicgenius (talk) 17:21, 7 April 2020 (UTC)
• " in 1903.[18]:10[12]" order.

  • Done.
• "By mid-1935" "By mid-1936", it's just unfortunate formatting on my screen I guess, by they are "visually" repetitive if that makes sense?
  • Fixed.
