---

• "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)
• "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)
• "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)
  • 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)
• "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)
• "Fulford, while writing in The National Post,"
  • O.K.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 14:06, 8 October 2012 (UTC)
• " 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)
• "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)
• "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)
• "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)
• Ref 2 has no publisher--Kürbis (✔) 11:26, 8 October 2012 (UTC)
  • Added.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 14:36, 8 October 2012 (UTC)
