  • I am happy to review this article. Bruxton (talk) 20:05, 5 August 2023 (UTC)Reply

Lead edit

  • Not exactly stated in the body: "one of the first apartment buildings in New York City to use glazed white brick on its facade" Under facade our article states: " first large apartment house to use "full ceramic brick impervious to dirt and stain" on its facade."
    •   I don't blame you for the confusion, as the wording in the Facade section is a little indirect. The first sentence of the "Facade" section says: "The facade is made of white brick, making Manhattan House one of the first apartment buildings in New York City to use that material on its facade." If I replaced "that material" with "white brick", it would be clearer. Epicgenius (talk) 13:33, 7 August 2023 (UTC)Reply
  • The lead states: "central "spine" with five wings facing north and south, as well as low-rise retail podiums to the west and east". I am only able to find the wording of "five sections" in the body (Form). And another line in Form that says: "there are ten wings in total." Bruxton (talk) 22:05, 6 August 2023 (UTC)Reply
  Looks like you added some clarity to the body. Bruxton (talk) 16:33, 7 August 2023 (UTC)Reply

Earwig is at more is 47.9% but I can only see titles and one quote causing the score. I will nevertheless go through the other citations. Bruxton (talk) 22:54, 5 August 2023 (UTC)Reply
