Overview

[edit]

Hi Rhododendrites and Epicgenius I'll take this on as part of the Wikipedia:WikiProject Good articles/GAN Backlog Drives/January 2022. Comments to follow Mujinga (talk) 19:02, 8 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Article is stable, the prose is great, I've made some comments below. There's no copyvio or original research, the article is broad and neutral. And stable. I'll put it on hold now. Mujinga (talk) 23:37, 8 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Copyvio check

[edit]
  • Earwig gives nothing to worry about

Pictures

[edit]
  • Pix all licensed
  • On the gallery, I'm not sure if the second fotos of the Bieves gig or the Golden Festival add much. The scaffolding is also a duplication. So I would suggest moving the front facade foto into the text and deleting the others, but happy to discuss.
    • We already have one picture from each of those events in the article, the front facade is covered by the infobox image, and we do indeed already have one of the scaffolding, so I'm inclined to remove the gallery for now. — Rhododendrites talk \\ 01:50, 9 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Sale to Rigas

  • "filed permits" suggest "had filed permits"
  • "The demolition permits were approved in November 2021, though at that time there was not a concrete timeline for it to move forward.[58]" wow so is it actually going to be demolished and is there an update?

Building

[edit]
  • is Ulrich J. Huberty needed to be redlinked?

Facade

[edit]
  • ok

Features

[edit]
  • " The central entrance " suggest take out central becuase there's one in previous sentence
  • "Both of these levels are supported on marble columns and surround the ballroom on all sides except the front.[62][63][64] They had decorative elements such as garlands and cartouches" - had not have because the features have been demolished? we generally seem to be flipping between past/present tense in this section
    • I don't know if they've been demolished. It seems to make sense for me for design and construction to be in the past tense, and descriptions to be in present tense (until we have a source saying it's been demolished). I'm going to defer to Epicgenius on the wording/arrangement of these features, though. — Rhododendrites talk \\ 01:48, 9 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
      I can take a look at the text tomorrow. – Epicgenius (talk) 01:51, 9 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
      I've changed the tense to past tense. I believe the exterior ornamentation at least has been removed already. As for the interior, the hall is closed permanently; while the individual design features may still be extant for the moment, places like the ballroom will sadly never see activity again. – Epicgenius (talk) 17:40, 9 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

References

[edit]
  • excellent referencing and nice to have the clippings to read

Done, I think?

[edit]

@Mujinga: Thanks for the review. I think we're basically set with the above. A few notes, but mostly done. FYI I did come across a source published in the time since we nominated the article, so added some material. — Rhododendrites talk \\ 17:55, 9 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
