List of tallest buildings in Brooklyn

[edit]
Williamsburgh Savings Bank Tower
Williamsburgh Savings Bank Tower

Moved to mainspace by West Virginian (talk). Self-nominated at 01:03, 13 July 2015 (UTC).

  • Move from mainspace within the time window, readable prose more than double minimum requirement, referencing is excellent, text avoids close paraphrasing, and tone is neutral. Hook is interesting, factual, and properly directly cited in the text. QPQ completed.

  • I don't understand the math. If it was constructed in 1929 and overtaken in 2009, that would be 80 years. Footnote 3 also doesn't give the construction date, though this is the source used for that date in 2 places. Perhaps you want to cite Footnote 28 for the date instead?

  • Yoninah, thank you tremendously for the catch. I've amended the lede with the correct math, and added the additional inline citation to support the claim. -- West Virginian (talk) 22:18, 20 July 2015 (UTC)
  • That looks better, thanks. ALT1 hook refs verified and cited inline. Rest of review per @Dravecky:. Yoninah (talk) 22:22, 20 July 2015 (UTC)
