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

 * In the note - The Cathedral of St. John the Divine is technically still not complete.[58] can we not say "technically?" Officially or remove the word entirely. Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski  (talk • contribs) 19:54, 20 March 2020 (UTC)
 * ✅ Although I doubt it will ever be completed... epicgenius (talk) 20:26, 20 March 2020 (UTC)
 * As a rule of thumb, I dislike the word "technically" in all articles, unless it's a quote. Thanks for changing Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 12:03, 21 March 2020 (UTC)

Lede

 * New York City is probably an WP:OVERLINK. Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 20:00, 20 March 2020 (UTC)
 * acre (ha) is ha hectares? Might be worth spelling it out in the lede. Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 20:00, 20 March 2020 (UTC)
 * This was all I could find in the lede, well done. Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 20:00, 20 March 2020 (UTC)

General

 * "place of rushes".[3][4][5][6] - anymore than 3 refs is a WP:REFBOMB to me. Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 20:02, 20 March 2020 (UTC)
 * ✅ Combined the links. epicgenius (talk) 20:26, 20 March 2020 (UTC)
 * during the Revolutionary War's Battle of Harlem Heights on September 16, 1776 - could we reword to avoid the two links next to each other? Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 20:05, 20 March 2020 (UTC)
 * several blockhouse fortifications were built in the area. These included Blockhouse No. 1 in what is now Central Park - blockhouse is used twice here, and I feel it's a bit much. I realise it's a name, but you could link to it and say "the first of which". Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 20:07, 20 March 2020 (UTC)
 * a retaining wall with stairways.[25][27][28]:100–108[29][30] - REFBOMB. Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 20:09, 20 March 2020 (UTC)
 * chief engineer Kellogg (who was later promoted to engineer of construction) worked on completing the measurements - do they have a first name? Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 20:11, 20 March 2020 (UTC)
 * ✅ He was mentioned previously as well, so I reworded it. epicgenius (talk) 20:26, 20 March 2020 (UTC)
 * There are three sculptures located in Morningside Park.[161][162]

The first is the Lafayette and Washington... - probably could just be one paragraph here. Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 20:14, 20 March 2020 (UTC)


 * There are a number of duplinks in the last couple of sections that could be cleaned up.Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 20:17, 20 March 2020 (UTC)

Comments

 * Automated note - If you fancy returning the favour, I have outstanding GA nominations that require reviewing at WP:GAN. 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)
 * On hold - very few items worth looking at above. Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 20:17, 20 March 2020 (UTC)
 * Not sure if you got to the duplinks (on mobile, so I can't check very well), but it's not a reason to keep the article on hold. Passing this one now. Good job. Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 12:04, 21 March 2020 (UTC)
