• Hi JJonahJackalope, review follows: article more than 5x expanded on 6 August; article is well written and cited inline throughout to reliable sources; I can't access all of the sources but I found no issues with overly close paraphrasing in a random spotcheck; hooks are interesting enough for me, preference for ALT0 as is more about the arcade; I can verify ALT0, happy to AGF on ALT1; a QPQ has been carried out. Looks fine to me - Dumelow (talk) 07:26, 10 August 2022 (UTC)

Almost there. JJonahJackalope won't have much to do. 7-day hold. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 04:17, 8 September 2022 (UTC)

Copy changes

Site prior to the arcade

• Should it be "Dougherties" or "Doughertys"?
  • Changed to "Doughertys".
• That same decade, the three-story Concert Hall Building, which served as barracks and a prison during the American Civil War. This is an incomplete sentence missing a subject.
  • Fixed incomplete sentence.
• On the National Hotel... I agree with the 1902 date, having looked this up. An "old National Hotel building" is mentioned as being destroyed in a major fire that struck downtown Atlanta on December 9, 1902, having become the Snook & Austin furniture building at that time. See paragraph 4 of this clipping or the second linked page in this one:
• In 1901, a viaduct was constructed for Peachtree Street over the railroad tracks that improved pedestrian mobility in the area The way this is written, the railroad tracks improved mobility?. Maybe In 1901, a viaduct was constructed for Peachtree Street over the railroad tracks, improving pedestrian mobility in the area
  • Done.

Other items

• Add alt text to the images. (Not a GAN requirement, but something I generally suggest while you're here.) Two PD and one CC0 image.
  • Added alt text.
• References are archived where applicable.
• Earwig mostly flags book titles; no issues.
