   Pass/Fail:

Comments below:

Lede

• "(also the Johns-Manville Building," should this be "also known as the Johns-Manville Building..."?
• "275 Madison Avenue was developed by Houston Properties, a firm headed by Texas entrepreneur Jesse H. Jones, and was originally known as 22 East 40th Street." These are two separate thoughts; everything after Jones should be in its own sentence. (or removed as 22 East 40th Street is mentioned at the beginning of the article.)

Facade

• "while the 1,060 metal window frames were originally made in West Virginia." Unless the metal window frames were remade, the word originally can be removed.
• "The seventh bay has three spandrel/windows, with the center spandrel/window being wider than the outer ones." I do not think the slash is appropriate here, as a slash implies an "or" statement, but these sections of the building, from my understanding, are both spandrels and windows. I recommend replacing the slash with a space or a hyphen.
• "the remaining opening has a louver." recommend wikilinking louver.

Spot-check

Version checked Refs checked: Ref 8, 9, 12, 20, 34, 23, 47, 53, 11

• No copyright concerns from Earwig
• The pdf for ref 9 wouldn't open for me.

Images

• licenses were checked and no concerns.

Once these concerns are addressed, I will take another look. Please ping me when ready. Z1720 (talk) 02:46, 3 January 2022 (UTC)

@Z1720, thanks for the review. Ref 9 requires a NY Times subscription (and the problems the website poses to non-subscribers are plenty), so I'll just mark them as needing subscription. I have addressed all the other issues. – Epicgenius (talk) 04:07, 3 January 2022 (UTC)

Something must have gone wrong when I tried to access ref 9 earlier: I have a temporary subscription (through my local library system, I can "check out" the NYT for three days) but something must have done wrong with my connection. I can access the link now, so *shurg*.

All other concerns have been addressed, so this passes. Z1720 (talk) 04:14, 3 January 2022 (UTC)
