@Epicgenius: 5x expanded and long enough. Comprehensive article and Earwig is 27% and only alerts to titles. QPQ is done and article is referenced, cited correctly and neutral. The image is free and renders well at this size. UnderSite In a spot check of citations I am unable to confirm the 1902 date in this sentence "the mansion was near the north end of Fifth Avenue's Millionaires' Row when it was finished in 1902". I spot checked twenty other citations that matched.
AlT0 slight inconsistency - the source says begged for "the" job, but our hook says "a" job.
ALT1 states several doorways were shortened but we only list one shortened doorway in our article "The doorway to the office was only 6 feet (1.8 m) high"
@Epicgenius: I see you corrected the 1902 issueSpecial:Diff/1202352925, and I will adjust the hooks above. Let me know if they are a good interpretation of the sources.

@Bruxton: Thanks for the review. I have no problem with the content of these hooks, though they will need a third editor to look at them, so I will mark these hooks as needing review.Epicgenius (talk)18:52, 2 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

ALT0a and ALT1a both short enough and interesting (I prefer ALT0a), and both AGF cited.--Launchballer13:48, 29 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
