Many thanks for the LWT reviews. I love NYC, wish I got to go more- happy to review! MyCatIsAChonk (talk) (not me) (also not me) (still no) 01:19, 12 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Epicgenius, all done, fantastic work as usual. I'm stunned by the speed with which you revised articles in the last wikicup round, and I expect that trend will continue- very nice work MyCatIsAChonk (talk) (not me) (also not me) (still no) 01:47, 12 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

1. Well-written:
1a. the prose is clear, concise, and understandable to an appropriately broad audience; spelling and grammar are correct.
  • when the Hotel Lexington Inc. took over. - cut the
  • Since 2021, a joint venture between MCR Hotels, Three Wall Capital, and Island Capital Group has owned the Lexington. - why are the latter two not in the infobox?
  • By 2012, the hotel had three restaurants: a Latin-American cafe named Taina Café, a gourmet Chinese restaurant named S. Dynasty, and Raffles. - no explanation for the cuisine of Raffles?
  • and the hotel defaulted on both its $3.9 million first mortgage and $600,000 second mortgage. - add costs adjusted for inflation; I prefer efns, but parentheses also work
  • Schleiffer would buy 83 percent of the corporation's 91,110 outstanding shares of common stock for $5.25 million. - same here
  • In turn, Hertzig planned to spend $250,000 renovating the guestrooms.[71] After Wien took title that May, Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance placed a $3.25 million first mortgage on the hotel. - again
  • guests included U.S. president Bill Clinton - isn't President capitalized? Could be totally wrong, but that's what I've seen elsewhere
  • an ill-fated attempt to build a swing band around a jazz quartet - wl swing band and jazz quartet
  • Christopher Gray wrote for The New York Times in 2009 that the Lexington's Lexington Avenue entrance was a "Frappuccino gauntlet" - wl Frappuccino
1b. it complies with the Manual of Style guidelines for lead sections, layout, words to watch, fiction, and list incorporation. No words to watch, fiction, or lists; lead is well written, layout is appropriate
2. Verifiable with no original research:
2a. it contains a list of all references (sources of information), presented in accordance with the layout style guideline. Refs are placed in a proper "References" section
2b. reliable sources are cited inline. All content that could reasonably be challenged, except for plot summaries and that which summarizes cited content elsewhere in the article, must be cited no later than the end of the paragraph (or line if the content is not in prose). Most citations are to reliable newspapers/magazines; scholarly citations, like a few journals and LPC reports, are also reliable
2c. it contains no original research. I see no need for a spotcheck, article is well-cited and quotes are properly attributed- no concerns here
2d. it contains no copyright violations or plagiarism. Earwig shows no violations
3. Broad in its coverage:
3a. it addresses the main aspects of the topic. Covers the location, architecture, history, notable guests, and reception; all good
3b. it stays focused on the topic without going into unnecessary detail (see summary style). Stays focused throughout
4. Neutral: it represents viewpoints fairly and without editorial bias, giving due weight to each. No bias visible
5. Stable: it does not change significantly from day to day because of an ongoing edit war or content dispute. No edit warring
6. Illustrated, if possible, by media such as images, video, or audio:
6a. media are tagged with their copyright statuses, and valid non-free use rationales are provided for non-free content. Images are properly CC tagged
6b. media are relevant to the topic, and have suitable captions. Images are relevant and captioned well
7. Overall assessment.
Thanks for the review @MyCatIsAChonk. I have done everything except for the inflation figures, which I hope to do within the next day or so. – Epicgenius (talk) 01:18, 13 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks again @MyCatIsAChonk. I've finally done the inflation figures now. – Epicgenius (talk) 15:31, 14 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
