I am happy to review this article. Please allow me 7-10 days to complete the review. Check back each day to see suggestions. Bruxton (talk) 00:56, 10 August 2023 (UTC)

Copyright check

Earwig picks up a direct copy of our article at a forum. In addition to Earwig I will check individual citations. Bruxton (talk) 01:13, 10 August 2023 (UTC)

Lead

• A good summary of what is to come. It follows MOS:LEAD. Normally I prefer to avoid citations in the lead per MOS:LEADCITE but the 2 citations are likely needed. All of the information in the lead is later cited in the body.
• Not necessarily a GA issue but I prefer stating US$60 billion per MOS:$ on the first occurrence and $60 billion thereafter. Bruxton (talk) 21:08, 10 August 2023 (UTC)

Establishment and expansion

The section is concise and thorough. The citations check out. Individually,

• Citation 17 checks out
• Citation 19 checks out Bruxton (talk) 21:14, 10 August 2023 (UTC)
• Great helpful chart "Signature Bank stock price". Bruxton (talk) 14:36, 12 August 2023 (UTC)

Operations in the final years

The prose is clear and concise covering the main points without getting into too much detail. The table in this section is espeicially helpful.

• Citation 30 checks out
• Citation 3 checks out

Cryptocurrency

This section is excellent and all citations check out. It is a very thorough assessment of the bank's involvement and risk regarding cryptocurrency.

Controversies

• A dead link and dead archive here. Consider replacing. Bruxton (talk) 20:18, 11 August 2023 (UTC)

  @Bruxton  Done. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 22:24, 11 August 2023 (UTC)

Controversies

A very interesting section. I learned a lot reading it.

• Citations all check out Bruxton (talk) 14:25, 12 August 2023 (UTC)

Collapse

• Have their been updates that allow us to know if this ever came true? "As of December 2022, 90 percent of $89 billion in bank deposits exceeded the maximum insured by the FDIC. All depositors are expected to be made whole"

Disposition of assets

Might not be a GA item, but usefull to read MOS:YEAR regarding the omission of year in the section.

• The line: "On March 19, the FDIC announced ..." I think we the article would benefit from adding the year.
• Also: "At the end of July, the FDIC". Bruxton (talk) 14:35, 12 August 2023 (UTC)

@Bruxton: Addressed all three above issues with rewording or year additions. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 16:00, 12 August 2023 (UTC)

@Sammi Brie: Thank you for an excellent article which is both thorough and well written. It was a pleasure to review this article. Bruxton (talk) 16:08, 12 August 2023 (UTC)
