"by U.S. Founding Father Alexander Hamilton" False title, although this is perhaps more of a personal preference.
- I've lowercased this and changed it to "the U.S. founding father...". Epicgenius (talk) 22:49, 13 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Link 143rd Street and 287 Convent Avenue.
- I linked 143rd Street even though that is currently a redirect. However, 287 Convent Avenue doesn't exist, and, even if it did, it would just link back here. Convent Avenue also doesn't exist but I added a redlink. Epicgenius (talk) 22:49, 13 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
"Federal style" No hyphen?
- I've added a hyphen to the first use of this phrase "Federal-style house", as it's used as an adjective here. Epicgenius (talk) 22:49, 13 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
"The second floor was used as bedrooms" Sound weird, floors can't be used as bedrooms.
- I changed this to "The second-floor spaces were used as bedrooms." Epicgenius (talk) 22:49, 13 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
A lot of the streets, roads, and avenues in the body need links.
- I linked as many roads as I could. I do not think Hamilton Place is notable on its own, as it's a short street that runs only a few blocks, but all the other streets might be notable. Epicgenius (talk) 22:49, 13 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
"born in 1755–1757" I'm not sure if the en-dash is appropriate here since this isn't a range.
- I reworded this. Epicgenius (talk) 22:49, 13 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
"still rural, although gradually densifying" I don'y think densifying contrasts with rural.
- I removed "rural". Epicgenius (talk) 22:49, 13 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
"The opening of the Third Avenue Cable Railroad" When?
- According to the source, by the late 1880s. Epicgenius (talk) 22:49, 13 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Most of the references look reliable and are properly formatted.
Kosner, Edward (February 25, 2011). "Book Review: Harlem | Black Gotham | Harlem Is Nowhere". Wall Street Journal.
- Is a book review, even one in the WSJ, a good source for factual claims?
  - I removed it; the next source also cites this fact perfectly. Thanks for the initial comments. Epicgenius (talk) 22:49, 13 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Images are fine.
Will check the rest of the refs later. AryKun (talk) 21:18, 13 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- Spot-checked a bunch of the references and found no issues, so will be passing. AryKun (talk) 20:19, 14 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
