Lead

[edit]
  • East of the office wing is the Centennial Memorial Temple. which has a triple-story opening whose design was intended to welcome visitors. Has a very prominent grammar mistake.
  • It may just be me being Australian, but should although Walker used brick and cast stone, as well as stepped archways, to create have a comma before "to"?
    • In this case, yes. The comma balances out the comma after "stone", which makes the phrase "as well as stepped archways" a parenthetical expression. In other words, this could also be written as although Walker used brick and cast stone (as well as stepped archways) to create. The phrasing "...Walker used brick, cast stone, and stepped archways..." doesn't really work because stepped archways isn't a construction material. Epicgenius (talk) 16:35, 27 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Link facade

Site

  • By the 2010s, the dormitory had 199 rooms and catered to a wider range of women between the ages of 18 and 50, this is a full sentence. why is there a comma at the end

[edit]
  • March 1893, with the intention of erecting a six-story building dedicated to his mother. ==> "March 1893 to erect a six-story building dedicated to his mother."
  • prompted complaints from local residents. remove "local"
  • They formed a splinter group—God's American Volunteers, later Volunteers of America—with the intention of attracting Salvationists. ==> "They formed a splinter group—God's American Volunteers, later Volunteers of America—to attract Salvationists."
