  • I think the first hook is more interesting than ALT1, however I think "Assemblyman" should be linked to New York State Assembly for further context. I would consider linking The Bronx too for readers who may not be familiar with the borough. I will accept the offline NYT article in good faith, and the article is new enough, long enough, and stable enough. Other than hearing the nominator's opinion on my suggestion, I would say this nomination is ready to go. Carbrera (talk) 01:30, 24 May 2021 (UTC).[reply]
Carbrera, I'm fine with the additional linking, see ALT2 below. I've also included a variant of the URL which bypasses the paywall (I'll update the ref in the article in a moment). -- RoySmith (talk) 01:39, 24 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, I don't quite understand how the NYT runs their paywall. The updated URL did indeed work in an incognito window originally, but eventually stopped working with a "you've exceeded your monthly views" type of message. I assume they're doing access counting on the server side, independent of cookies, etc. -- RoySmith (talk) 15:21, 24 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
