Hello, I am planning on reviewing this article for GA Status, over the next couple of days. Thank you for nominating the article for GA status. I hope I will learn some new information, and that my feedback is helpful.

If nominators or editors could refrain from updating the particular section that I am updating until it is complete, I would appreciate it to remove a edit conflict. Please address concerns in the section that has been completed above (If I've raised concerns up to references, feel free to comment on things like the lede.)

I generally provide an overview of things I read through the article on a first glance. Then do a thorough sweep of the article after the feedback is addressed. After this, I will present the pass/failure. I will use strikethrough tags when concerns are met. Even if something is obvious why my concern is met, please leave a message as courtesy.

Best of luck! you can also use the ✅ tag to state when something is addressed.  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs)

Please let me know after the review is done, if you were happy with the review! Obviously this is regarding the article's quality, however, I want to be happy and civil to all, so let me know if I have done a good job, regardless of the article's outcome.

Immediate Failures

 * It is a long way from meeting any one of the six good article criteria -
 * It contains copyright infringements -
 * It has, or needs, cleanup banners that are unquestionably still valid. These include,, or large numbers of , , or similar tags. (See also ). -
 * It is not stable due to edit warring on the page. -

Links

 * sources look good. Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 16:11, 12 July 2020 (UTC)

Lede

 * There is one citation in the lede - doesn't seem like something we could use in prose. Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 16:04, 12 July 2020 (UTC)
 * ✅ I moved it. epicgenius (talk) 17:09, 12 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Is there a link for story? Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 16:04, 12 July 2020 (UTC)
 * can we get some altext? Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 16:04, 12 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Maybe consider ? Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski  (talk • contribs) 16:05, 12 July 2020 (UTC)

General

 * The Empire Building has also been historically known as the U.S. Steel Company Building or O.B. Potter Trust Building - the bold in here is not required. Surely it doesn't meet WP:BOLDAVOID? Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 16:09, 12 July 2020 (UTC)
 * I put these in italics instead as these terms are former names which also redirect here. epicgenius (talk) 17:09, 12 July 2020 (UTC)
 * might I suggest moving the arch image to the right? At the moment it covers a subsection, which isn't ideal. Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 16:09, 12 July 2020 (UTC)
 * "Charles Sooysmith designed the foundation" - maybe mention who this is? 16:09, 12 July 2020 (UTC)

Review meta comments

 * I'll begin the review as soon as I can! If you fancy returning the favour, I have outstanding GA and FA nominations that require reviewing at WP:GAN and WP:FAC, respectively. I'd be very grateful if you were to complete one of these, however it's definitely not mandatory. Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs)
 * I'm going to go ahead and pass this - I've done a couple edits, but otherwise, it's in great shape. No reason to string this one out. Great job. Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 16:13, 12 July 2020 (UTC)
