Interesting building, on fine sources, no copyvio obvious. The image is licensed, shows well enough in stamp size and illustrates the hook well, - I had no idea what 'ape means. You will have to find space for it in the article, - it's one of the rules that an image on the Main page also has to be in the article. - Striking ALT1 as the architect's choice is no topic in the article. I believe we can omit Hawaii, - Honolulu being well known. - Suggestions for the article: I - as a reader - would be interested to learn in the lead already that she was into nurses' education, and that the building is used for the purpose. I also believe that "dedicated", "auditorium" and "air condition" are common words that need no links. Can you get rid of the bare url in a reference, please? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 11:15, 15 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Gerda Arendt, thank you so much for the review! I've made all changes suggested, except the changes to the lede since I'm in a rush at the moment, but I'll implement those soon as well. I've also changed "'ape leaf" to "'ape leaf" since the linked article is on the entire plant, not just the leaf. ezlev (user/tlk/ctrbs) 15:52, 15 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
