Lead sections

  • checkY

Layout

Words to watch

  • None identified.

Fiction

List incorporation

  • checkY


2. Verifiable with no original research:
2a. it contains a list of all references (sources of information), presented in accordance with the layout style guideline.
  • Sources cited correctly and in the correct place. Bibliography in the correct place.


2b. reliable sources are cited inline. All content that could reasonably be challenged, except for plot summaries and that which summarizes cited content elsewhere in the article, must be cited no later than the end of the paragraph (or line if the content is not in prose).

Source check

Due to the quantity of citations, I will mainly be checking citations that are used multiple times in the article.

Landmarks Preservation Commission 2013, p. 3.

  • checkY

National Park Service 2004, p. 3.

  • checkY

Landmarks Preservation Commission 2013, p. 4.

  • The pavilion was originally designed by Victor Christ-Janer as an octagonal structure In the source, it states that the design was a "circular structure". Not sure if these are essentially the same.

Landmarks Preservation Commission 2013, p. 5.

  • Two other horses were made of fiberglass and may have been manufactured by the Fabricon Design Group, which renovated the ride in the late 1980s. I think this info comes from a citation on p.9 of the source.

Farrell, Paul (May 27, 1999).

  • Afterward, the groups asked the New York state government to place the ride on the New York State Register of Historic Places and, by extension, the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP). I can't see this references in the article (apologies if I'm missing something!).
    • The first sentence of the source says, "The campaign to designate the Forest Park Carousel a special landmark has shifted its focus to New York State because city officials say the ride doesn't qualify." The context is that they sought city landmark status and failed, so they began seeking state landmark status. As for the NRHP status, I just copied this source from somewhere else, which does mention the status. Epicgenius (talk) 00:19, 4 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Lubrano, Alfred (May 28, 1989).

  • checkY

Holland, Beth (May 15, 1989).

  • Regional newspaper Newsday wrote that he was "instrumental in bringing the carousel to Forest Park". The actual quote from the Newsday article is "instrumental in bringing the Muller carousel to Queens."
  • A Newsday reporter said the carousel's valuation was "like finding a carton of Faberge eggs in the bottom of the corner grocer's dairy case" This quote should be attributed to Lubrano (citation 14).
