Dearborn Homes

 * ... that the Chicago Housing Authority` renovation of the Dearborn Homes housing project includes adding neo-Georgian quoins and ball-topped gables to the brick high-rises?


 * I've now reviewed Patterns of Conflict. Yngvadottir (talk) 19:18, 19 March 2012 (UTC)

Date and length (just) are OK. Article is referenced and has appropriate tone. Slight problem in that I can't find the word "pediments" in the key citation from the Chicago Tribune. I suppose you could take that section out of the hook. NB this is my first review so I'm sorry if I've missed anything.  Tigerboy1966  13:01, 18 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Thanks for reviewing it! Well spotted. He actually calls them gables. The passage is:"So he gave the previously flat-roofed buildings triangle-shaped, limestone gables, topped by balls that etch a profile against the sky. Brick was removed from the corners and replaced with corner details called quoins." and it is here in the Google Books version. That version also has a pic. So shall I say gables or stick with pediments? (Also I owe a quid pro quo review for this nomination. I'll note here when I've done it.) Yngvadottir (talk) 15:19, 18 March 2012 (UTC)
 * I would change the hook and the corresponding sentence in the article. I would then be happy to "pass" it (if that's the right term).  Tigerboy1966  15:52, 18 March 2012 (UTC)
 * OK, changed in both places (and I checked that Gable is not a DAB page). I will do a quid pro quo as soon as I can . . . thanks in advance for the check mark/tick :-) Yngvadottir (talk) 16:01, 18 March 2012 (UTC)

issue quickly resolved, thanks.  Tigerboy1966  16:07, 18 March 2012 (UTC)
