History and talk fine
Images all licensed correctly
Images used well, but perhaps the demolition progress could be a different kind of gallery? They're spaced out so much it doesn't really work
- I reduced the width. epicgenius (talk) 00:40, 4 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Earwig clear
Footnote [c] should probably come after both refs
- Done.
The Helen Gillender story seems fine until the mention of Augustus at the end of the paragraph, perhaps I'm confused but is the developer of the building disputed?
- No, this is a one-off mention by a single source. The Tribune mentioned Augustus briefly in 1905, but Asinari says this never did happen, and the Tribune issued a correction. epicgenius (talk) 00:40, 4 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
The paragraph introduction In December 1909, The New York Times reported a new record set seems unnecessary, and is also confusing until the reader gets halfway through. Just starting "The Manhattan Trust Company..." should be good (adding the date at the end).
- Done.
Asking about the use of "frontage", if you want to link or rephrase it or not
- Rephrased it.
Demolition commenced April 29 → "commenced on"
- Done.
Add comma after "all the scrap"
- Done.
Maybe introduce the New York Times quotation
- Done.
Is Helen Gillender's death related enough for inclusion?
- Nope, removed.
Media section a bit brief (not in content, in style) but probably good enough.

Overall

  - @Epicgenius: Some harv errors have appeared. Kingsif (talk) 01:11, 4 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    Kingsif, well, that is weird. I don't see either the brown warnings or the red errors. But apparently my edits caused broken ref names (and therefore citation-needed tags) which I have fixed. epicgenius (talk) 02:10, 4 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    - Great! Kingsif (talk) 05:36, 4 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
