Comments

• Lead image, I'm really struggling to make much out of that. I think (personally) the image with Wright in the "Design" section is clearer and more interesting.
• "theater - a diversity" etc, en-dash not hyphen.
• "land was sold" gradually
• "$3,000,000" 3 million. And can you inflate that for modern times?
• "massive $12-$15 million" en-dash.
• "chosen - bronze" en-dash again.
• "trees...Screens" non breaking space before ellipsis and regular space after ellipsis.
• "cancelled" one l in USEng?
• "buildings are not allowed" are not or were not?
• "be 110 feet tall instead of 90 feet, " convert.
• NPCP -> NCPC.
• "the Washington, D.C. area" comma after D.C.

Not much to see here, an interesting article, on hold for the moment. The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!!!!) 20:12, 12 March 2021 (UTC)

I'm currently bedridden due to a back injury. If you don't mind waiting just a few days, I'll correct the issues you pointed out when I can sit at my computer. Thanks for understanding.

APK no worries, take your time and get well soon. The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!!!!) 08:18, 14 March 2021 (UTC)

@The Rambling Man: Thanks for your patience. I think all the issues have been resolved. APK whisper in my ear 00:54, 19 March 2021 (UTC)

No worries. Can we dial down the "accuracy" of the inflation? I don't think inflating $3m to the nearest dollar is helpful, perhaps the nearest $0.1m? The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!!!!) 07:22, 19 March 2021 (UTC)

Sure thing. APK whisper in my ear 02:19, 20 March 2021 (UTC)

All good, promoting. The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!!!!) 14:52, 21 March 2021 (UTC)
