Good Article review progress box WP:CV () 3a. broadness () 3b. focus () 4. free or tagged images () 6b. pics relevant () Note: this represents where the article stands relative to the Good Article criteria. Criteria marked are unassessed

• History and talk clean
• Images all good
• Infobox and map suitable
• Sources good and everything seems to be cited
• Copyvio clear except, too much quoting from this source, topping over 50% of the original
  • Reduced the over-quotation. Apparently, this source and the article quote from similar places. Also, there are some common phrases that are just unavoirable. epicgenius (talk) 15:02, 13 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Is there a reason for the big white space in See also?
  • To prevent the portal boxes from intruding into the references, but I fixed it. epicgenius (talk) 15:02, 13 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Lead a good length
• Two water towers were located above the main roof. Do you know when they were removed (or whatever caused them to no longer be there happened)?
  • I couldn't find a source for when they were removed. epicgenius (talk) 15:02, 13 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Do sand and clay really need wikilinks?
  • Removed.
• I think American Tract Society needs a mention in the body of the article?
  • Done.
• I don't know if grown into a "Newspaper Row" needs the 'a' or not
  • Fixed.
• The wikilink to elevator isn't needed- and it's not at the first mention anyway
  • Removed.
• It's not clear if the Woodrow Wilson Foundation occupied the building in the 1919-45 period, or after this.
  • That was given as an example of one notable tenant. I couldn't find information on when it vacated the space. epicgenius (talk) 15:02, 13 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• In the two sentences Pace also acquired 150 Nassau Street and other nearby buildings in 1967, with plans to destroy them and build an office tower. These plans did not proceed and Pace University sold the American Tract Building in 1982, the building is referred to by two different names. This is a smaller issue, but I'm sure you can come up with a suitable solution
  • Oops, I fixed this. epicgenius (talk) 15:02, 13 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Nassau Equities principal Jack Lefkowitz - presumably Nassau Equities should get a possessive; I also don't know if Lefkowitz is the principal owner/director/something, rather than just principal?
  • Yes, he would be the principal officer, or director. The source just says "principal". epicgenius (talk) 15:02, 13 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Rest good

Overall

• on hold Few things, including queries Kingsif (talk) 23:26, 12 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • @Kingsif: Thanks for the review. I have addressed all of your comments now. epicgenius (talk) 15:02, 13 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    • Nice, thanks. Kingsif (talk) 18:25, 13 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
