I'll do this review.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 06:37, 5 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The toolbox to the right suggests that this article needs lots of work:

  • I've fixed all bar two of the dead refs, and formatted others. All 8 links are in the template, so I'm not sure how to proceed with that at the moment (I don't have time to go and make 8 articles, as I don't like releasing stubs into mainspace where I can avoid it; I like nice, proper articles). I'll take a step back for now, hopefully someone else will wander in like I did to do some work. Lukeno94 (tell Luke off here) 13:15, 9 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • I'll be honest that I was going to quickfail this one, but I want to read it since it runs through my old neighborhood. I use to live on East 60th and hated having to walk all the way to the Lex from between 1st and York. Also lived on E96th between 2nd and 3rd. Looks like this does not stop at 59th though so the walk might have been just as long. Anyways, I am going to keep reading.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 20:46, 9 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I've defined UMTA, I've added current dollar conversions, and I've replaced "realized" in the history section with "recognized". I also merged the last two paragraphs in the background. I haven't done anything with ICs or dates yet, or anything about rewriting the lead. Lukeno94 (tell Luke off here) 08:22, 17 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Dollar amounts are showing an unusual number of decimal places. E.g., US$98,900,000 (US$1,322,308,333 in 2013 dollars[16]) would look more normal as US$98.9 million (US$1.32 billion in 2013 dollars[16]).--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 14:53, 17 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
