  • New & long enough, QPQ performed, copyvio checks reveal no problems, all non-lead ¶ have inline citations. The only matter is that while the source used does state that the house belonged to American millionaires, it does not state that it is the tallest house in the neighborhood per se. Rather, the source states that "it is considered to have been Jerusalem’s first skyscraper." North America1000 02:55, 24 May 2016 (UTC)

  • ALT1: ... that the historical courtyard neighborhood of Even Yisrael (houses pictured), today a popular attraction for tour groups and local residents, was slated for demolition on the Jerusalem master plan? Yoninah (talk) 10:32, 24 May 2016 (UTC)
  • That comes across as rather wordy and complex, how about this alt below. North America1000 10:38, 24 May 2016 (UTC)
  • ALT2: ... that what is considered the first skyscraper (pictured) in the historical Jerusalem neighborhood of Even Yisrael belonged to an American millionairess?
  • The source calls it "Jerusalem's first skyscraper". You could write:
  • ALT3: ... that a three-story house (pictured) in the historical neighborhood of Even Yisrael has been called "Jerusalem's first skyscraper"? Yoninah (talk) 11:43, 24 May 2016 (UTC)
  • All other qualifications have previously been satisfied. ALT3 is interesting, of correct length and properly sourced. Alansohn (talk) 17:22, 25 May 2016 (UTC)
