Week 3:

Looking through the St. Patrick's Cathedral (Manhattan) article on Wikipedia and going through the notes I've collected from my research, I can contribute to the section 1.2.2 "Terrorism". I have a source that talks about the bombings that occurred at the church before. (The Bowery Boys).

I can also add more specific details about the style of the church and where specific things are in the church. The fifth edition to A Guide to New York City by Norval White & Elliot Willensky with Fran Leadon has specific details about where the Cardinal's Residence, the Rectory, and the Lady Chapel are.[1] It also provides dates of when the sections were constructed and by whom. The guide also provides insight on the style of the cathedral and how it is seen in the architecture.

Week 4:

Notes for improvement for the article I'm revising:

1. Section: Construction of the Cathedral. Link "DIocese of New York" because not everyone knows what Diocese means.
2. Section: Construction of the Cathedral. "The archbishop's house and rectory were added ... 1882 to 1884...". It should be 1880, by James Renwich, Jr.?
3. Section: " ". "... and an adjacent school (no longer in existence) opened in 1882...". What school? Link it, if possible.
4. Section: " ". "... including a Lady Chapel ..." Fix dates: 1901-1906.
5. Section: Terrorism. "...splintering some and tearing a ..." - 18-inch hole. Injuries/where they were. This sort of terrorism was frequent. No arrests.
6. Section: Terrorism: "Polignani". Details of how Polignani foiled their plan.
