40 Wall Street[edit]

Nominator(s): Epicgenius (talk) 15:19, 17 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

This article is about yet another building on Wall Street in New York City. In sharp contrast to the humble House of Morgan or the short but storied National City Bank Building, this skyscraper stands out on the skyline of Lower Manhattan, with its limestone facade and green pyramidal roof. Built for the Bank of the Manhattan Company, 40 Wall Street was briefly the world's tallest completed building amid a fierce competition over the title. Later it was operated by interests representing Philippine dictator Ferdinand Marcos, and nowadays it's leased by former U.S. president Donald Trump.

This page was promoted as a Good Article three years ago after a Good Article review by CaroleHenson, for which I am very grateful. In addition, the page received a GOCE copyedit recently from Voorts, whose efforts I also appreciate. I think it's up to FA quality now, and I look forward to all comments and feedback.

Pulling up a heading.

Will make further comments, but probably not many. Vaticidalprophet 20:09, 15 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the comments, Vaticidalprophet. I've resolved all of the issues you've pointed out so far, and I look forward to any other feedback you might have. Epicgenius (talk) 23:18, 15 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
It's been a few days, sorry -- my life is finally a bit more stable now...Have looked back over the article, and while my comments were short, I honestly can't make any more. I'm willing to support this. Vaticidalprophet 04:14, 23 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Image review[edit]

Either all images of buildings should have PD-US-architecture or none of them.
File:40 Wall Street Manhattan New York City.jpg. What is the evidence it was published between 1928 and 1963?
Otherwise all images appear to be appropriately used and have proper licenses.--Wehwalt (talk) 21:29, 24 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the image review @Wehwalt. I've added PD-architecture to all of the descriptions on Commons. I've hidden File:40 Wall Street Manhattan New York City.jpg for now because I can't find evidence of when it was actually published (sources seem to indicate that it was published when it was created in 1930, though there's ambiguity about that). – Epicgenius (talk) 23:41, 25 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
OK. All good. Wehwalt (talk) 00:14, 27 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comments from voorts[edit]

As Epicgenius noted, I conducted a GOCE copy edit for this article in May. As there has already been a spot check for citations, I won't conduct another one. The article meets criteria 1b, d, e, 2a-b, 3 (per Wehwalt's image review), and 4. I have some 1a suggestions and other comments:

Once these are resolved, I will support. voorts (talk/contributions) 02:25, 9 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Epicgenius: I have a few replies above. voorts (talk/contributions) 20:59, 10 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@voorts, thanks. I've fixed both of these. – Epicgenius (talk) 21:05, 10 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Looks good. I support this article for FA. voorts (talk/contributions) 21:31, 10 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
