I'll take this one, will post review as soon as possible. Kosack (talk) 08:40, 25 September 2019 (UTC)

Initial review

Lead

• There are a lot of references in the lead. Generally information in the lead is typically in the main prose and therefore wouldn't need sourcing the lead. Fine if it's not mentioned elsewhere but just something to be aware of.
  • @Kosack: I moved down the references where appropriate. epicgenius (talk) 21:17, 26 September 2019 (UTC)
• Why is Fresh Creek Urban Renewal Area bolded?
  • Now it's italicized. Fresh Creek Urban Renewal Area doesn't exist but I will create the redirect soon.

Location

• If the name was only used for a portion of the neighborhood, then Plunders Neck doesn't need bolding.
  • Done.
• "110 acres and 297 acres in size respectively, were opened in 1956 and 1961 respectively", the double use of respectively is a little jarring. Is there a way this can be reworded?
  • Done.
• "The massive Fountain Avenue Landfill", massive seems a little informal. Perhaps, " the larger Fountain..."?
  • Well, it was much larger than the Pennsylvania Avenue Landfill, but that's unnecessary now since we have the acreage in the previous sentence. epicgenius (talk) 21:17, 26 September 2019 (UTC)

Early development

• Could be worth linking condemnation to Eminent domain if you think it's a suitable match.
  • Done.

Urban renewal and development

• "19th Century", century doesn't need to be capitalised.
  • Fixed.

Starrett City

• The end of the first paragraph could do with a ref to avoid looking unsourced.

Gateway Elton

• The image caption is a fragment so doesn't require a full stop.
  • Done.
• "Construction on the third phase started on January 15, 2015", any update on this or is the construction ongoing?
  • Added a reference for an update.

Industry and commerce

• Picture caption I'd a fragment again, no need for full stop.
  • Done.
• "Moe Finklestein Athletic Complex or Thomas Jefferson High School Field [...], is", should this be High Scholl Field are?
  • These are two names for the same complex, so that wouldn't be correct anymore.
    • Ah right OK. Kosack (talk) 18:38, 27 September 2019 (UTC)

Schools

• Caption fragment again.
  • Done.

References

• Avoid shouting in ref titles, per WP:ALLCAPS.
  • Done.
• Refs are otherwise well formatted and a quick spot check comes back ok.

Sitting there since last year! Nothing major to worry about I would say. Placed on hold while the above issues are looked at. Kosack (talk) 19:16, 26 September 2019 (UTC)

• @Kosack: Thanks for taking up this review. I really appreciate it yet again and have responded to the above comments. epicgenius (talk) 21:17, 26 September 2019 (UTC)

• Happy to promote this, all concerns addressed and I belive it meets the GA criteria. Nice work. Kosack (talk) 18:38, 27 September 2019 (UTC)
