Hey, I'm going to be reviewing this article. Expect comments by the end of the week. Some Dude From North Carolina (talk) 02:56, 28 May 2021 (UTC)

Basic stuff and comments

• Infobox and lead look good.
• "At the second floor" → "On the second floor"
  • Done.
• "At the third story" → "In the third story"
  • Done.
• Is the comma after "plaza to the east" necessary?
  • I rearranged the sentence. Epicgenius (talk) 18:26, 30 May 2021 (UTC)
• Remove the commas after "through 1855" and "until 1875".
  • Done.
• "steam fitters" → "steamfitters" (one word)
  • Done.
• "oversee construction" → "oversee the construction"
  • Done.
• "The New York State Federation of Women’s Clubs moved its headquarters to the building's fourth floor, was opened in May 1932." sounds off. Maybe "The New York State Federation of Women's Clubs, which opened in May 1932, moved its headquarters to the building's fourth floor."
  • I rephrased the sentence with slightly different wording. Epicgenius (talk) 18:26, 30 May 2021 (UTC)
• Throughout the article, search for MOS:CURLY apostrophes and replace them with normal ones.
  • Done.
• #Critical_reception could use an expansion.
  • Unlike other buildings such as 111 West 57th Street, this building was not noticed as much. Therefore, there are relatively few reviews about this building (I'm not counting stuff like this wordpress blog post). In fact, this building was even misidentified by a prominent architectural writer in the 1990s. Epicgenius (talk) 18:26, 30 May 2021 (UTC)

Sources

• New York Post is not reliable per WP:NYPOST.
  • Removed the only instance of its usage. Epicgenius (talk) 18:26, 30 May 2021 (UTC)
• Mark sources from The New York Times with "|url-access=limited".
  • Done for most, except that for articles between 1923 and 1980, it requires subscription. Epicgenius (talk) 18:26, 30 May 2021 (UTC)
• Mark sources from The Real Deal with "|url-access=subscription".
  • The source does not require a subscription until after 15 articles. I marked it as limited access. Epicgenius (talk) 18:26, 30 May 2021 (UTC)
• Try archiving sources (with this tool or manually).
  • My general practice is to only run the tool on sources that are dead/unfit, and I would prefer to continue this practice unless it's necessary to archive all urls. The IABot tool only inserts archive-urls if an archived version of the page has already been made; it doesn't actually use the Internet Archive to save sources, though I would gladly run it on all pages if it did. My other issue is that if, for some reason, a live article that has an archive-url later becomes a dead link, then |url-access=live does not automatically get changed into |url-access=dead. However, if the bot sees a dead link that doesn't have an archive-url (but has an archived version), the bot will add the archive-url to the article. If the link was already dead and was not archived, then the bot would not add anything. Epicgenius (talk) 18:26, 30 May 2021 (UTC)

Progress

GA review (see here for what the criteria are, and here for what they are not)

Fair representation without bias: It is stable. No edit wars, etc.: It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate. a (images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):
Overall: Pass/Fail:
