- ... that although the third Onondaga County Courthouse was demolished in 1967, the hand-cut stones of its tower have been preserved?

- Comment: Possibility for some image, but I doubt any of them would render suitably at 100 px
Created by Eddie891 (talk). Self-nominated at 22:35, 17 December 2022 (UTC).
Long, interesting article moved to article space yesterday. Everything is cited and sources look good; one is from 1878 but it's only used for minor details that are unlikely to be outdated, and I think the Instagram posts are OK per WP:SPS. Didn't find any copyright issues. The hook is short, interesting, cited in the article and confirmed with the online source. QPQ is done. I think all the pictures of the building would work well, and if you add one to the nomination I'll approve it, but it's your decision. Excellent work! Ffranc (talk) 14:34, 18 December 2022 (UTC)

Notes
[edit]- Nelson was influenced by a remodel of the nearby Rochester's Monroe County Courthouse, originally constructed in the Federal style in 1822 before being remodeled into a more modern style. -> need to revise, what is "Modern" in this context?
- "Additionally, the library had grown so large that it cracked the walls of the annex." What is the annex here?
- What is Ronao corp?

Post-PR comments
[edit]Here are a few comments I meant to post at the PR but never did.
- Periods should be removed from some of the captions per WP:CAPFRAG.
- Lead, para 3:
Despite proposals to repurpose the building in various ways, including in the book Architecture Worth Saving in Onondaga County
- I would say "including one in the book", because otherwise "including in the book" refers grammatically to "in various ways" (i.e. it sounds like one of the ways the building is being repurposed is in the book). - Description, para 1:
A tower was attached to the left side
- Which direction did the building face? - Description, para 2:
52 by 72 feet (16 by 22 m)
- This should be singular. - I noticed that some quotations, e.g.
"asymmetrical massing and detached form,"
have the comma/period inside the quotation marks even if they are not full sentences. Per MOS:LQ, for these types of quotes, the punctuation should be outside the quotation marks.
More in a bit. – Epicgenius (talk) 16:03, 11 January 2024 (UTC)
