Interesting building, on good sources, offline source accepted AGF, no copyvio obvious. It's looking so unusual for a NYC building that I think the location, Queens, should be mentioned in every potential hook. I like ALT2 best, given the location is added. I don't care much about the noble people, nor second oldest alone. The image is licensed, and almost a must. The name: was is "Old St. James Church" when the groups used it, or perhaps not even "church" then? Should whatever such names be added to lead and/or infobox, - no need to bold them all, but tell people they are at the right article? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 13:41, 28 June 2020 (UTC)
- @Gerda Arendt: Thanks for the review. I think that the unusual nature of the building may warrant mentioning that it's NYC (but not necessarily that it's in Queens), if we do include the geographic location in a look. As for the name, it is also called the "Old St. James Church" to distinguish it from the current church building two blocks away, which is the "St. James Episcopal Church". I will add that soon. epicgenius (talk) 18:58, 29 June 2020 (UTC)
- @Gerda Arendt: Are you still planning on continuing reviewing this? Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 03:49, 15 July 2020 (UTC)
- Not quite sure what you mean. I'd like a hook mentioning the location, and Epicgenius agreed. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 05:13, 15 July 2020 (UTC)
- @Gerda Arendt: Sorry, I forgot about this. I added ALT4 and ALT5 now. epicgenius (talk) 12:47, 15 July 2020 (UTC)
- No problem, no rush for this old building. I think we should mention Queens, with a link, as in the article title, or New York City, - if both, it holds up the flow too much. What do you think, and what would you prefer? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 12:54, 15 July 2020 (UTC)
- Gerda Arendt, I guess linking Queens can be an option, but NYC is well-known enough that I don't think we need to mention it. I have added these links to the alt hooks. epicgenius (talk) 13:47, 15 July 2020 (UTC)
- I'm afraid I was not clear. The key word is or, please decide for Queens (then with a link) or NYC (without a link). Queens would be closer to the article title, NYC almost quirky because who would expect that church to be there. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 13:52, 15 July 2020 (UTC)
- Gerda Arendt OK, I guess we can go with ALT6 or ALT7 which mentions only NYC, though without a link. epicgenius (talk) 14:51, 15 July 2020 (UTC)
I agree ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:01, 15 July 2020 (UTC)
