Eh? Doesn't 72d Street separate the two headhouses; the old being south and the new north of that street?Jim.henderson (talk)01:29, 15 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Some issues with the article text relevant to the hooks. On ALT0, one relevant sentence in the article attributes the quote to an anonymous critic, but the source attributes the statement to an earlier New York Times editorial with no mention of if the author was anonymous or not. The article also does not mention the structure was recommended for demolition, only that it was "a danger to life and limb", which is not quite the same. This does seem supported by the source however, albeit euphemistically, so it's a matter of putting it into the article. On ALT1, the relevant article sentence states the project died in the April which isn't quite supported by the source. It clearly died, as per the preceding New York Magazine article, but the sentence goes a bit beyond what is available in the source. On ALT2, the text specifies the musical notes are only visible from a certain angle, which I cannot find in the source. In all these cases the hooks themselves seem well supported, and other DYK requirements are met, so with some tweaks to the relevant article sentences this should be good to go.CMD (talk)12:59, 14 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Nonetheless,ALT0 and its associated picture (appropriately licenced, works at scale) are the standout hook, and so happy to pass that following your edits.ALT2 also passes, and is by itself also interesting, although my preference remains for ALT0 (and generally I assume ALT0s are preferred by nominators too).CMD (talk)14:55, 14 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]This sentence "Rather than adopting the 72nd Street station for maintenance, Ben and Jerry's chose to sponsor a theater of geese." is quite misleading. They actually (according to the linked article) chose to support a group of ACTORS called the Geese Theater Company, which performs in prisons across the country. Not quite as ridiculous as this article makes it sound.MeegsC (talk)15:13, 15 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
