Little Island panorama

Interesting park, and really recent, wow! On fine sources, no copyvio obvious. In all hooks, pictured is missing, but I can say right away that I like ALT1 best of the lot. I'd also interested in the website crash on opening day, and the NYT critic. Quite generally for any hook: I believe that the full name of the park sounds more respectful, and would grab more attention just by being longer, and I think File:Little Island Panorama (50236511951).jpg (or a crop) shows better in small size. Good luck! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 17:40, 26 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Gerda Arendt: Thanks for the review. I have added these extra hooks, fixed the name of the park, and swapped out the image. Epicgenius (talk) 19:07, 26 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I like the extras, but tink they should have some info about the extreme newness, - for ALT3 that could be the date, for the other the word "new". Will you try? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:14, 26 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Gerda Arendt: Thanks, I have done this. Epicgenius (talk) 21:15, 26 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you, and like ALT4. Here's my version of the other
ALT3a: ... that when Little Island at Pier 55 (pictured) opened in New York City on 21 May 2021, ticket bookings caused the park's website to crash? - You can play with it, I need sleep.
The image is licensed and says more than 1000 words. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:26, 26 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Gerda Arendt: Regarding ALT3b which you removed, I was tweaking 3a a bit. I clarified it was "ticket bookings" instead of just "bookings". Maybe "a large number of reservations" or something similar may work. Epicgenius (talk) 00:01, 27 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for explaining, - see, I was tired and didn't read that far, sorry about that. I now just tweaked ALT3a by adding "ticket" to it. But next time, please don't place a hook above the tick symbol. (Better but not as urgent: don't place later ALTs in the nomination section but in the flow of the conversation. The nomination is signed with a date.) - "Excessive" is a pov word, any other phrase? "the run on tickets"? ... something that direction? ... you are right that otherwise just the software might be blamed ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 07:12, 27 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
It's all right. You'd probably expect that I'd know not to move hooks above ticks after 300 or so DYK nominations (I even forgot how many), but I still have a lot to learn. I'd suggest something like this:

"Renamed" after what?

[edit]

One sentence reads as follows:

"The project was renamed Little Island in 2019 and opened on May 21, 2021."

But we are not told what its name was before this "renaming".

I hope someone knowledgeable about this subject can fix this.

Stage "and" Ampitheater

[edit]

The opening paragraph says the park has "a small stage, and a 687-seat amphitheater." Are these two different things? Or should we change this to "a 687-seat amphitheater with a small stage"? MiguelMunoz (talk) 04:01, 6 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
