A fact from Chanin Building appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 28 March 2020 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:
Did you know... that the offices of the Chanin Organization in New York City's Chanin Building contained "America's finest bathroom" and a set of ornate bronze gates?
Hi, I'm Kingsif, and I'll be doing this review. This is an automated message that helps keep the bot updating the nominated article's talkpage working and allows me to say hi. Feel free to reach out and, if you think the review has gone well, I have some open GA nominations that you could (but are under no obligation to) look at.

In the Lobby and Upper floors sections, there's a lot of past tense, but no indication of when these things existed.
Most of these still exist, so I have changed it. epicgenius (talk) 22:32, 3 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
The phrasing of the sentence beginning The Chanin Building was not as tall as several other nearby buildings could use some work - the paragraph just said it was one of the tallest around, so perhaps an indication of time would also help here, or saying that after the Chrysler building opened, the deck closed?
I have fixed it. It was the later buildings that were the downfall of the Chanin Building. When it was built, the Chanin Building was one of the tallest in the area, but this was no longer the case starting in World War II. epicgenius (talk) 22:32, 3 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
American→United States does not need a wikilink, nor does 'architect' :)
Removed.
The phrasing of When the site was cleared in 1927, a large portion of the public could not tell "whether the Chanins were builders or [...] theater-owners who had taken up building as a sideline." is a bit awkward - is there a more fluid way to incorporate this quotation?
