Potala Tower

 * ...that the Potala Tower in Seattle, Washington was stopped four months into construction after its developer's assets were frozen during a securities fraud case?


 * ALT1:...that the proposed Potala Tower in Seattle, Washington was named after the Potala Palace in Tibet by its developer, a former Tibetan Buddhist monk?

 * I find ALT1 *much* more interesting as a hook, since the name immediately had me wondering if there was some sort of connection with Tibet. Cgingold (talk) 09:01, 23 May 2016 (UTC)


 * Symbol question.svg Article is new and long enough. It is neutral and cites sources inline. However, there some problems as listed below, which need to be cleared. "Earwig's Copyvio Detector" reports low copyvio rates between 2.0 and 4.8%. Hook is well-formatted and interesting. Its length is within limit, and its fact is cited inline. Image is licensed under " Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 2.0 Generic". It is good in small size, however it may not be of interest at the Main Page. QPQ was done. II will approve ALT1 after following issues are resolved.
 * No mention of "transfer to Dargey Development" at ref #4 but at ref #6, ✅
 * No mention of "2,743 square feet" and "329 parking spaces" at ref #6, instead "garage with more than 200 stalls" at ref #5,✅
 * No mention of "7th floor deck for the hotel" at ref #3, ✅
 * No mention of "outdoor movie theater" at refs #4 and #7, ✅
 * Ref #9 says "$5 million" instead of " $11.5 million" HAL paid, ✅
 * Ref #7 says "Dargey bought for $11.5 million from an entity related to HAL", ✅
 * No mention of "$12 million" at ref #10, it is at ref #8, ✅
 * Ref #21 says "raised at least $125 million" instead of "$125 million", which can mislead. ✅

 * Thanks for the through review. It looks like the ordering of references got mixed up while writing prose, and I've fixed the issues you've listed.  Sounder Bruce  22:09, 29 May 2016 (UTC)


 * Symbol confirmed.svg Everything is fine now. Good to go. CeeGee 06:39, 30 May 2016 (UTC)
