ALT1 ... that Kesher Israel Congregation had to relocate its synagogue to make way for expansion of the Pennsylvania State Capitol Complex – twice in thirty years? EEng (talk) 02:45, 21 July 2014 (UTC)

Thanks, EEng. Let's go with ALT1. Yoninah (talk) 16:40, 23 July 2014 (UTC)

I'm reviewing this now. I agree that ALT1 should be used. Hassocks5489 (Floreat Hova!) 21:48, 24 July 2014 (UTC)

Expansion is something approaching 8x, and many new references have been added. All look to be of good quality: generally a mixture of books (not online) and suitably referenced monographs. I notice a couple of blog posts, but these are only supporting incidental information so I'm happy with that. The Benson monograph supports most of the facts in the article, including the hook (therefore I'm using the "green tick"). I see nothing in the way of close paraphrasing or copyvio. The article is well-written and well structured.

Just one point (not relevant to DYK eligibility): it would be nice to have a picture in the article; I feel articles on buildings are greatly enhanced by an image. A quick look on Google Streetview suggests that a decent pic should be possible from a couple of angles. Hassocks5489 (Floreat Hova!) 22:15, 24 July 2014 (UTC)

Thanks for the review! If I lived there, I would certainly photograph it... I'll ask someone at WikiProject Pennsylvania for help. Yoninah (talk) 22:42, 24 July 2014 (UTC)
