Lead

[edit]
  • Thumbs up icon The lead is an excellent summary following MOS:LEAD. It is clear, Neutral and concise. All of the information which is presented or summarized in the lead is covered and cited in the body of the article.

Site

[edit]
  • Thumbs up icon The section is interesting and fully cited with a relevant image. The editor has used helpful conversion templates and presented the information in understandable prose.

History

[edit]

Construction

[edit]

Controversies and delays

[edit]
  • Thumbs up icon Interesting and thorough. Ruptured pipes, lawsuits and delays. A very well written section with good detail. And the ingenuity of moving the entrance to qualify for a liquor license, "relocated the hotel's main entrance from Fifth Avenue to 55th Street". Bruxton (talk) 15:56, 14 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Opening and early years

[edit]

John Jacob Astor ownership

[edit]

Duke ownership

[edit]
  • Citation 102 is given for the sentence: "hat year, bartender Fernand Petiot invented a drink at the St. Regis, which later became the Bloody Mary" but I cannot find that information in the source. Bruxton (talk) 13:57, 16 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    • Thumbs up icon I added another reference. I also rephrased the article to mention that Petiot worked at the St. Regis and invented what became the Bloody Mary (though not necessarily in that order). Epicgenius (talk) 22:23, 18 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Re-acquisition by Astor

Post-Astor period

Sheraton operation

Architecture

[edit]

The sub sections are of great interest to this reader. The section is comprehensive and referenced to quality publications. The original structure and subsequent work is covered well. Very interesting to this reader. Good use of conversion templates here.

  • Thumbs up icon One quibble here is that many sentences may suffer from WP:OVERCITE. the issue is minor and not really a concern for GA.
    • Thumbs up icon Generally, I'm trying to have no more than three citations per sentence. My reasoning is that more citations would make it easier to verify the text, but that more than three cites will make the article hard to read and will be citation overkill. Epicgenius (talk) 22:23, 18 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • The sentence in the interior section states: "French marble was used extensively in the corridors on each story". I can only confirm "marble" from the given sources. Citation 255 and 270 do not say French. Does citation 276 confirm "French" marble? Bruxton (talk) 14:58, 17 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    • Thumbs up icon Cite 276 says "Col. Astor selected the glassy marble from France -- reportedly considering Italian varieties far too common." Nonetheless, I've removed "French" from the above-mentioned sentence, as it's cited later on. Epicgenius (talk) 22:23, 18 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

2d. it contains no copyright violations or plagiarism. Yes
3. Broad in its coverage:

Bruxton (talk) 17:54, 13 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
6b. media are relevant to the topic, and have suitable captions. Yes
7. Overall assessment.
@Epicgenius: Can you speak to the license on the image I called out in the chart above? After that we are likely to wrap up. Thank you for the explanations Bruxton (talk) 23:12, 18 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Thumbs up icon @Bruxton, I have no idea where that image came from, so I've removed it. – Epicgenius (talk) 23:14, 18 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
