Pass/Fail:

"is ~~the name of the~~ a 1976 illustration by Saul Steinberg that served as the cover of the March 29, 1976 edition of The New Yorker."
- Fixed.--13:40, 8 October 2012 (UTC)
"The work is presented from the perspective that Manhattan is the center of the world." - I don't think the usage of "that" is correct in this case (also odd usage of passive voice): "The work presents the view from Manhatten on the rest of the world"
- How is it now?--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 13:45, 8 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
"that Steinberg's copyright had been violated." - ditto. Something like: because of copyright violations by Columbia"
- O.K.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 13:49, 8 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
"It is also considered an example of something that has made a person famous for the wrong reason." - perhaps: "It is considerd an example of unintentional fame", elaborate.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 13:52, 8 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- What do you think of the change?
"The illustration is split in two parts"
- Thanks.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 13:54, 8 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
"New York presented the interpretation that the New York-centric mind's view of the rest of the world as a set of outer boroughs is what is iconic about the subject.[9]" - New York intepreted the New York-centric mind's view of the rest of the world as a set of outer boroughs as iconic"
- Fixed.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 13:58, 8 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
"Fulford, ~~while~~ writing in The National Post,"
- O.K.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 14:06, 8 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
" Fulford pointed out a high school in suburban Ottawa made imitating this work an assignment in its graphic arts class," - I don't understand
- What do you think now?--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 14:45, 8 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
"which held that Columbia Pictures violated the copyright ~~that~~ Steinberg held on his work."
- O.K.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 14:10, 8 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
"with apologies to steinberg" - should Steinberg be in uppercase? If not then suggest adding a sic note
- Fixed ref.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 14:26, 8 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
"that discussed the rise to prominence of the Chinese economy at the time of the the contemporary financial crisis.[13]" - perhaps replace the underlined with "burgeoning" or something similar
- O.K.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 14:33, 8 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Ref 2 has no publisher--Kürbis (✔) 11:26, 8 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Added.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 14:36, 8 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

1975 or 1976

TJRC, The article includes the following two sources which may point toward a 1975 creation date:

I am not sure about what the 2nd source is really saying about 1975, but the first one is a plain english statement that the work was made in 75.-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 02:45, 18 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Additional "view of the world" New Yorker covers

Withdrawn. ChatGPT hallucinated a bunch of non-existent covers.

Cross street

Which east-west street does the view look down? 2600:1702:1D00:9A80:D4E:D9EE:4297:8A1F (talk) 14:40, 22 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

We're not supposed to do "original research" but the West Side Elevated Highway was one block over from 10th Avenue (without an intervening 11th Avenue) south of 72nd street. Much of the West Side Elevated Highway seems not to have been in use in 1976... AnonMoos (talk) 16:39, 22 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I believe it's the street nearest The New Yorker's offices. —Tamfang (talk) 20:32, 22 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
