I'm only doing this because I have a DYK myself and I needed a QPQ. Don't take this as a sign that we're "friends". 750 Seventh Avenue first: A 13 times expansion is a brief "add info" according to you; the length is 2600 words; the article is neutral, has more references than I have fingers (I think I've made this joke before), and copyvio is unlikely, only triggering the Earwig bot through direct quotations. Now, 1585 Broadway: again with the "add info" for 66k bytes of content, done within the nom timeframe; the length is 4300 words; the article is neutral, has more references than there are lizards in Florida, and I guess Earwig gets ticked off at direct quotes, but other than that it's copyvio free. As for hooks: I think alt0 is by far the best (with the picture for explanation), but if you're shooting for a double hook I feel ALTM1 is the most interesting and least confusing. I'm unfamiliar with reviewing joint hooks, so if there's another article or some other step I need to review as well please let me know! Panini! • 🥪 02:21, 3 March 2022 (UTC)
- @Panini!: Thanks for the review. I guess if you're reviewing the hooks jointly, then you could leave a comment on the other nomination, saying that you approved one of the hooks here already. (Or you could review 1585 Broadway, which would provide you with an extra QPQ while also being much easier to sort out.) Epicgenius (talk) 05:03, 4 March 2022 (UTC)
