Review

• I look forward to reviewing this article.

Lead

• Y "The base contains several small setbacks to comply with the 1916 Zoning Resolution." I did not find this information in the body.
  • I've removed the 1916 Zoning Resolution, as it's not actually mentioned in the article. Epicgenius (talk) 23:43, 18 February 2024 (UTC)
• Y "Two towers rise from the eastern portion of the base above the 19th story." i did not find this information int he body
  • I've fixed this. The architecture section says "two 12-story towers rise from the eastern portion of the base." Epicgenius (talk) 23:43, 18 February 2024 (UTC)
• Y All other facts are supported by citations in the body. The lead is a good summary of the article.

Images

• Y The article has eight images and they are clear, and properly licensed. The images also appear in the sections where they illustrate the content of the text. Bruxton (talk) 17:55, 18 February 2024 (UTC)

Spelling and grammar

• Y Site section "The Majestic Apartments occupies a nearly square land lot" I am unsure how this fits in the article. Might need to add context or a set up in the paragraph?
  • Oops, I meant "El Dorado". Epicgenius (talk) 23:48, 18 February 2024 (UTC)
• Y Architecture section "while Margon & Holder were responsible for building's Art Deco" missing a word
  • Fixed. Epicgenius (talk) 23:43, 18 February 2024 (UTC)
• ? Base section "an incised geometric pattern. On the third story." might be an errant period here
  • I think this was already changed to a comma before I started editing the article. Epicgenius (talk) 23:43, 18 February 2024 (UTC)
• Y Towers section "There are terracotta balconies at the 26th story" might read better with "on"?
  • Fixed. Epicgenius (talk) 23:43, 18 February 2024 (UTC)
• Y Cooperative conversion section "Balconies in central grouping of upper stories" are we missing a determiner before central?
  • Fixed. Epicgenius (talk) 23:43, 18 February 2024 (UTC)

Other

• Y Development - $ at first occurrence US$8.5 million MOS:MONEY alsoSomeone educated me on MOS:MONEY - I still think it is a minor "best practice" but the guideline does not say it is needed in this article
• ? Consider adding inflation templates {{US$|62.50|1963|long=no}}. I find them interesting Bruxton (talk) 13:27, 19 February 2024 (UTC)
