  • "stop on the Underground Railroad" this needs a little context.
    • I added some context for what the underground railroad is in the background section, and added a source at the end of the paragraph including "stop on the Underground Railroad". If that's not what you meant, could you say more?
  • "leading community" the local community?
    • Addressed this.
  • "is in development as of July 2021." September now.
    • Actually should've said June 2021, since that's when the last source was published that talks about it. It is indeed still in development now, but that's my OR.
  • "with southern states " link? Isn't this normally capitalised, at least "Southern states"?
    • Had to check this. Looks like Wikipedia is pretty inconsistent on the matter, but the best advice I could find recommended capitalizing when it's a group of states rather than state in a particular direction. Done.
  • "the Fugitive Slave Act of 1850" of 1850 goes in the link.
    • Done.
  • "still largely done in secret" conducted rather than "done".
    • Done. Conducted.
  • " c. 1847-50" en-dash and full year, i.e. 1847–1850 unless it's just the first part which is circa, in which case it's c. 1847 – 1850.
    • Done.
  • First para of "227 Duffield Street" is unref.
    • Done.
  • "1786 – 1862" no spaces. There are more of these.
    • Done.
  • " Park.[3][1][10] " order.
    • Done.
  • "Railroad.[8][11][3] The" ditto.
    • Done.
  • "Professional Archaeologists of New York City (PANYC)" you never use the abbreviation so why bother?
    • Done.
  • "publicization" is this really "publication"?
    • Done.
  • "use eminent domain to seize" link eminent domain here.
    • Done.
  • "name: Abolitionist Place.[16][6]" order, and replace the colon with "of" to reduce the "DRAMA".
    • Sounds fun. I've just learned that AWB disabled auto-ordering refs (one of the only reasons I fire it up) because of "drama"... Done.
  • "sold 50% of the property" half?
    • I suppose 50% feels more precise, but I can't really articulate why. Done.
  • "mixed-use building in its place.[17][18][14]" order, and link mixed use?
    • Done.
  • "president Eric Adams" doesn't need disambiguation.
    • Done.
  • "designation.[24][3]" order.
    • Done.
  • "House.[2][25][5] The" order.
    • Done.
  • "a 15,000 square-foot park" convert.
    • Done.
  • " 1.15 acre space" convert.
    • Done.
  • Suggest you use the {{reflist}} template for consistency across Wikipedia.
    • No strong opinion here. Visual Editor throws the old fashioned one in there. Done.

That's all I have on a quick pass. The Rambling Man (Keep wearing the mask...) 18:48, 1 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@The Rambling Man: Thanks for the review! I think I've addressed nearly everything here. A couple follow-up notes (mainly towards the top). — Rhododendrites talk \\ 05:30, 2 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Can I suggest "Southern states"? It makes sense to capitalize 'Southern' as it's referring to a specific geographical entity and not the general direction. The whole phrase together is not commonly a proper noun. Firefangledfeathers (talk) 13:10, 2 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Fine by me. Done. — Rhododendrites talk \\ 13:46, 2 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
