Observations

 * GA review (see here for what the criteria are, and here for what they are not)


 * 1) It is reasonably well written.
 * a (prose, spelling, and grammar): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):
 * There are 3 notes in the Infobox. MOS:INFOBOX says, inter alia, the purpose of an infobox: to summarize (and not supplant) key facts that appear in the article. Consider if this material in the infobox links ought be in the article itself. See WP:INFOBOXREF.
 * There are two archived discussions on this matter, references and External links in the Infobox. References should be in the body of the article.


 * 1) It is factually accurate and verifiable.
 * a (reference section): b (citations to reliable sources):  c (OR):  d (copyvio and plagiarism):
 * The link to Credfi requires registration. Archived link
 * The website link in the foot of the Infobox is a dead link. Archived version
 * Reference 2, 3 are dead links
 * References 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 are dead links. Like Reference 2 and 3, these Google news links are not working. These are all from the Milwaukee Journal. Perhaps they can be found on one or another Archive site? Or on Newspapers.com ?
 * This sentence is overlinked: Along with bank officials, mayor Henry Maier, county executive John Doyne, and Wisconsin governor Patrick Lucey attended the ceremony.
 * We don't need links for mayor, county executive, nor the List of Governors of Wisconsin. Drop. Readers of the English language are cognisant of these terms.
 * Ditto First Wisconsin Center; we don't need links to monopoly, litigation, antitrust, hearsay, nor Dallas in the next paragraph.
 * Reference 15 does not follow MOS for the Milwaukee Sentinel.
 * In the section Firstar Center we may drop the link to economic development.
 * In the next paragraph we may drop the link to Cincinnati.
 * In the U.S. Bank Center we may drop the link to parking garage. We may also lose precast concrete and parking space. In the next paragraph, the final link to Chicago may be dropped.
 * In the Architecture section, the text 42-story links to the storey article. This may be dropped. We may also drop the link to Melbourne.
 * In the section Peregrine falcons, we do not need a link to World War II. Remainder of the references and links are suitable.


 * 1) It is broad in its coverage.
 * a (major aspects): b (focused):
 * Many references to banking corporations and finance corporations. All references are appropriate.


 * 1) It follows the neutral point of view policy.
 * Fair representation without bias:
 * Apart from a mild case of over-linking, yes, NPOV is preserved.


 * 1) It is stable.
 * No edit wars, etc.:
 * Page created on 3 January 2006
 * 90 days Pageviews: 2,977
 * Daily average: 33 pageviews
 * 131 editors have made 213 edits to this page


 * 1) It is illustrated by images and other media, where possible and appropriate.
 * a (images are tagged and non-free content have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):
 * US Bank Center.jpg = extracted image; GNU Free Documentation License, Version 1.2 or any later version
 * Milwaukee at night.jpg = Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 2.0 Generic license.


 * 1) Overall:
 * Editing of all links to Google news is mandated. Suggestions are given above.
 * Common sense needs to be applied to necessary links; many are superfluous and assume ignorance instead of common sense. Nonetheless, the prose is good and NPOV is preserved.
 * If matters above are attended to, then Good Article status may be awarded. At present, a lot of fiddly work is needed. --Whiteguru (talk) 06:34, 29 April 2021 (UTC)


 * Thank you for the review, I will get working on the links, and finding sources to replace the deadlinked ones. JackFromWisconsin (talk &#124; contribs) 13:06, 30 April 2021 (UTC)
 * References not repaired. Other matters not addressed. GA Review fails. --Whiteguru (talk) 10:18, 12 May 2021 (UTC)
