85th Street (Manhattan)

(

)

... that the Nazi German American Bund (flag pictured) had its headquarters at 178 East 85th Street in Manhattan, and paraded in the neighborhood in Nazi uniforms?

Perhaps as an apology for trying to delete this (maybe it's considered a COI), I'll review the nomination.
5x expansion verified. The article is well-referenced, neutral in tone, and mainly original content, and I can't see any problems with it anymore. The hook is backed up by no less than three references, and the image is free-use. I think it's good to go. Epicgenius (talk) 14:36, 11 June 2014 (UTC)
- I'd rather not be known as the guy who puts a swastika on the front page. Suggest running without the image. Hawkeye7 (talk) 04:52, 15 June 2014 (UTC)
  - I thought long and hard about the image before proposing it. I'm not supporting the Nazis, and I don't think the hook does, and I don't think the image in the hook does. The image and similar images are used appropriately throughout the project. I expect when The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich was printed, Shirer had a choice of images, and went with this one for appropriate reasons similar to the reason that make a decision to run the image here appropriate ... rather than because he supported the Nazis. It drives home the "hooky" point of the hook. Epeefleche (talk) 05:23, 15 June 2014 (UTC)
