Article was created 1 April. No issues of copyvio or plagiarism. All sources appear reliable. QPQ is done. Hooks are interesting and sourced. I like the primary hook. I think there may be a typo on ALT8. You meant to type the “dome above”? I’d personally like to see the two buildings have separate DYKs, but a combined may be interesting. I don’t think many people are aware of the connection between the two buildings. Looks ready to go. Congratulations on this excellent article! Thriley (talk) 21:47, 1 April 2022 (UTC)Reply
- @Thriley: Thanks for the review - I'm fine with either a separate hook or a combination hook. For ALT8, yes, that is what I meant, but both are technically grammatically correct; "that above" is short for "[the dome] above". Epicgenius (talk) 00:31, 2 April 2022 (UTC)Reply
  - Ah.. I read it too quickly! Looks perfectly fine. Best, Thriley (talk) 06:24, 2 April 2022 (UTC)Reply

@Epicgenius: I tried to fix the map, but I did something wrong. I have to run to something so I can’t take the time to fix. Another superb article! Was always a favorite of mine. Thriley (talk) 15:51, 1 April 2022 (UTC)Reply

@Thriley: Thanks! I really appreciate it. Somehow I copied the map and coords from another article directly and forgot to fix them here. I've adjusted it now. Thanks for the heads up. Epicgenius (talk) 16:15, 1 April 2022 (UTC)Reply
