New York City scenic landmarks

Featured list candidates/New York City scenic landmarks/archive1

Nominator(s): Epicgenius (talk) 13:59, 31 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I am nominating this for featured list because it is a complete, comprehensive list of scenic landmarks designated by the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission. Scenic-landmark designations are one of four landmark designations that the LPC is capable of granting, along with individual-landmark, interior-landmark, and historic-district designations. Though only 12 scenic landmarks have been designated in NYC, they range from world-renowned icons like Central Park to small neighborhood plazas like Verdi Square. After having given this list a once-over, I look forward to all comments and feedback. Epicgenius (talk) 13:59, 31 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Drive-by comment: why doesn't the "More images" commons link show up under the Central Park photo, like the others? « Gonzo fan2007 (talk) @ 19:18, 31 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Oops, I have fixed that. Thanks for pointing it out. – Epicgenius (talk) 19:30, 31 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Feedback:

Ref 7 – Note as page 7
Ref 8 – Note as page 37
Ref 10 – Note as page 45
Ref 12 – Note as page 47
Ref 13 – Note as page 47
Ref 14 – Note as page 43
Ref 15 – Note as page 49
Ref 16 – Note as page 36
Ref 19 – Note as page 64
Ref 22 – Note as section M, page 1
Ref 24 – The source shows a publish date of July 16, 2008, but the reference lists August 15, 2016.
Ref 25 – I'm seeing a publish date of May 2 @ 8:07pm at the source vs the reference listing May 3. Did you mean to put May 3 as the date based on UTC time?
Ref 30 – I notice right under the text it mentions a copright for the Associated Press. Is this the agency in this case?
Ref 32 – Add Veronica Rose as author
Ref 33 – Remove "Bronx Times" from title. Should the publisher be Bronx Times-Reporter? Or should Bronx Times-Reporter possibly be moved to Bronx Times intead?
Ref 34 – Update website to "Norwood News" instead of "Norwood News – Serving Norwood, Bedford Park, Fordham and University Heights"
Ref 36 – Note as page 10
Ref 39 – I note that the publisher's article is at Smithsonian (magazine) and Template:Smithsonian Institution lists the article as "Smithsonian magazine". Should this title be downcased, or should the template possibly be uppercased?
Ref 44 – Note as section C, page 1
Ref 51 – Note as section 1, page 27
A number of the NYT sources need to be called out as subscription access
The first and fourth source under the sources section wikilink to the publisher, whereas the rest of the references and sources in the list do not
City Room as a source – I understand blogs are often, if not usually, considered unreliable. Is City Room treated as a traditional blog, or is the pulisher / platform more reliable because it being hosted / affiliated with the New York Times?
Should "The Bronx" be sorting as "Bronx" instead? Or is it synonymous enough that people would actually look under T first?
I think making the description and location unsortable would be beneficial since the sorts for those columns aren't actually helpful in this case
In the Old Croton Aqueduct Walk row, you wikilinked to Carrère & Hastings which actually redirects to Carrère and Hastings. Probably better to replace "&" with "and" to keep consistent with the article.

That's what I've got for now. Good seeing you at FLC EpicGenius! Please ping me when you reply and I hope to see you around these parts more ;)

Thanks for the review @Hey man im josh, and great to see you here as well. I've fixed almost all of these now.

For ref 30, yes, that is the agency.
I've fixed the page numbers for the NYT, and the publishers/works for refs 33, 34, and 39.
For "The Bronx", most people would look under "Bronx" first.
I think City Room falls under WP:NEWSBLOG, but the writers there are all NYT staff writers; for example, the writer of this piece was Sewell Chan, who worked at the NYT at the time. It was called a blog because, at the time, most NYT articles appeared in print before they appeared online, whereas the blogs appeared online first (or only appeared online).
I haven't changed the row headers to make these two columns unsortable, but I will do so shortly.

Ahhh I see you can't change the columns to be unsortable. I'm satisfied with the answers and changes. Support. Hey man im josh (talk) 20:29, 31 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Comments

"Scenic landmarks are city-owned sites [....] which is also at least 30 years old" - there's a grammar disconnect in this sentence
Can't see any particular reason for "Pulitzer Fountain" and "Giuseppe Verdi Monument" to be in italics
That's all I got - great work!! -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 07:21, 3 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Image review from Dylan620

Alt text is present for every image.
All images contribute encyclopedic value to the listicle.
Sourcing for each image checks out.
All images are appropriately licensed for either public domain or Creative Commons.

The only thing I would fix is that the description pages for some images are missing the NRHP tags, but I can fix that myself after I hit 'publish changes'. Support on image review. Dylan620 (he/him • talk • edits) 22:20, 18 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
