• size and age ok, written neutrally, QPQ done, copyvio clear, hook faithful to source....just can we not use the verb "repurpose", which sounds like glossy mag advertising-speak? Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 23:29, 17 June 2016 (UTC)

• The picture needs a caption before this can be approved. TonyTheTiger, can you please supply a brief caption? Thanks. BlueMoonset (talk) 00:22, 21 June 2016 (UTC)

• @TonyTheTiger: So many numbers take away from the readability of this hook. Is the height of the Chicago Spire so important (it's linked)? Yoninah (talk) 00:24, 21 June 2016 (UTC)

• I don't have a problem with the Spire numbers being removed.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 04:30, 21 June 2016 (UTC)
