Hi User:Andrew Jameson, you're doing a great job developing this article! I wonder if the order of presentation of buildings could be clarified by an introductory sentence or two before listing them. Perhaps something like "The buildings of the district could be visited, starting at X and Y intersection, by proceeding south down Z street, turning right on Fort Street, turning north on B street. The following list of properties is in that order:". By such an intro, I don't mean to create or promote a particular walking tour, but that is a way of explaining the order of presentation. Other orders could be by building height, by importance somehow, or alphabetically by name. In the current version the ordering is not obvious; i was puzzled by encountering "Unnamed building" before many named, more important ones. A hypothetical walking tour order was used by me and Lvklock recently in writing Manlius Village Historic District and I thot that worked out okay. Are you going to make a DYK nom? This is extraordinarily well-developed for just being a couple days old. Keep up the good work! doncram (talk) 21:51, 11 January 2010 (UTC)
OK, I reconfigured the order into something that roughly geographical. I'm not married to it, so feel free to rework if you so desire. I also coord tagged each building, and added some history. That's pretty much everything that I had on my list of things to do, so I'm going to leave it be for the moment unless anyone has any suggestions.
As far as a DYK, to be honest, nothing really jumps out at me. I think the number of famous architects represented is interesting, I think the relatively modern buildings (some *completed* less than 50 yrs ago) are interesting for a historic district, I think the "Wall Street of Detroit" quote is interesting, and I think the number of banks in the area in 1899 is interesting. However, none of those are really as "hooky" as I like. If you'd like to craft a DYK nom based on these or something else, please do, but I'm not feeling creative, so if you don't, I won't either.

This is a fine article about a great subject, but I believe that the list of buildings would be better suited as part of a table and not as individual subsections. Also, there is no real reason for this website to be excessively cited about 150 times in the article. Once is enough in the form of a reference section or simple external link. —№tǒŖïøŭş4lĭfė♫♪ 21:29, 7 February 2010 (UTC)
What's the reason for the "NOEDITSECTION" tag? I've just submitted a 67K edit to fix one typo. John of Reading (talk) 17:49, 6 March 2010 (UTC)
It's time to update the classes given above of the projects. --Extra 999 (Contact me + contribs) 17:13, 3 August 2010 (UTC)
