New York City scenic landmarks

 * Nominator(s): Epicgenius (talk) 13:59, 31 May 2024 (UTC)

I am nominating this for featured list because it is a complete, comprehensive list of scenic landmarks designated by the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission. Scenic-landmark designations are one of four landmark designations that the LPC is capable of granting, along with individual-landmark, interior-landmark, and historic-district designations. Though only 12 scenic landmarks have been designated in NYC, they range from world-renowned icons like Central Park to small neighborhood plazas like Verdi Square. After having given this list a once-over, I look forward to all comments and feedback. Epicgenius (talk) 13:59, 31 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Drive-by comment: why doesn't the "More images" commons link show up under the Central Park photo, like the others? « Gonzo fan2007 (talk)  @ 19:18, 31 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Oops, I have fixed that. Thanks for pointing it out. – Epicgenius (talk) 19:30, 31 May 2024 (UTC)

Hey man im josh
Source review: Passed
 * Reliable enough for the information being cited
 * Consistent date formatting
 * Consistent and proper reference formatting
 * Appropriate wikilinks where applicable
 * Spot checks on 20 sources match what they are being cited for

Feedback:
 * Ref 7 – Note as page 7
 * Ref 8 – Note as page 37
 * Ref 10 – Note as page 45
 * Ref 12 – Note as page 47
 * Ref 13 – Note as page 47
 * Ref 14 – Note as page 43
 * Ref 15 – Note as page 49
 * Ref 16 – Note as page 36
 * Ref 19 – Note as page 64
 * Ref 22 – Note as section M, page 1
 * Ref 24 – The source shows a publish date of July 16, 2008, but the reference lists August 15, 2016.
 * Ref 25 – I'm seeing a publish date of May 2 @ 8:07pm at the source vs the reference listing May 3. Did you mean to put May 3 as the date based on UTC time?
 * Ref 30 – I notice right under the text it mentions a copright for the Associated Press. Is this the agency in this case?
 * Ref 32 – Add Veronica Rose as author
 * Ref 33 – Remove "Bronx Times" from title. Should the publisher be Bronx Times-Reporter? Or should Bronx Times-Reporter possibly be moved to Bronx Times intead?
 * Ref 34 – Update website to "Norwood News" instead of "Norwood News – Serving Norwood, Bedford Park, Fordham and University Heights"
 * Ref 36 – Note as page 10
 * Ref 39 – I note that the publisher's article is at Smithsonian (magazine) and Template:Smithsonian Institution lists the article as "Smithsonian magazine". Should this title be downcased, or should the template possibly be uppercased?
 * Ref 44 – Note as section C, page 1
 * Ref 51 – Note as section 1, page 27
 * A number of the NYT sources need to be called out as subscription access
 * The first and fourth source under the sources section wikilink to the publisher, whereas the rest of the references and sources in the list do not
 * City Room as a source – I understand blogs are often, if not usually, considered unreliable. Is City Room treated as a traditional blog, or is the pulisher / platform more reliable because it being hosted / affiliated with the New York Times?
 * Should "The Bronx" be sorting as "Bronx" instead? Or is it synonymous enough that people would actually look under T first?
 * I think making the description and location unsortable would be beneficial since the sorts for those columns aren't actually helpful in this case
 * In the Old Croton Aqueduct Walk row, you wikilinked to Carrère & Hastings which actually redirects to Carrère and Hastings. Probably better to replace "&" with "and" to keep consistent with the article.

That's what I've got for now. Good seeing you at FLC EpicGenius! Please ping me when you reply and I hope to see you around these parts more ;)
 * Thanks for the review @Hey man im josh, and great to see you here as well. I've fixed almost all of these now.
 * For ref 30, yes, that is the agency.
 * I've fixed the page numbers for the NYT, and the publishers/works for refs 33, 34, and 39.
 * For "The Bronx", most people would look under "Bronx" first.
 * I think City Room falls under WP:NEWSBLOG, but the writers there are all NYT staff writers; for example, the writer of this piece was Sewell Chan, who worked at the NYT at the time. It was called a blog because, at the time, most NYT articles appeared in print before they appeared online, whereas the blogs appeared online first (or only appeared online).
 * I haven't changed the row headers to make these two columns unsortable, but I will do so shortly.

 * Ahhh I see you can't change the columns to be unsortable. I'm satisfied with the answers and changes. Support. Hey man im josh (talk) 20:29, 31 May 2024 (UTC)

Comments

 * "Scenic landmarks are city-owned sites [....] which is also at least 30 years old" - there's a grammar disconnect in this sentence
 * Can't see any particular reason for "Pulitzer Fountain" and "Giuseppe Verdi Monument" to be in italics
 * That's all I got - great work!! -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 07:21, 3 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the review @ChrisTheDude. I have fixed both of these issues now. – Epicgenius (talk) 18:25, 3 June 2024 (UTC)


 * Support -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 07:22, 4 June 2024 (UTC)

Image review from Dylan620
The only thing I would fix is that the description pages for some images are missing the NRHP tags, but I can fix that myself after I hit 'publish changes'. Support on image review. Dylan 620 (he/him • talk • edits) 22:20, 18 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Alt text is present for every image.
 * All images contribute encyclopedic value to the listicle.
 * Sourcing for each image checks out.
 * All images are appropriately licensed for either public domain or Creative Commons.
