  • I am happy to begin reviewing this article. Bruxton (talk) 17:24, 24 August 2023 (UTC)Reply

Lead edit

  •   The lead summarizes all of the main points in the article. It is three paragraphs long and the article is 6490 words. All of the information in the lead is covered in the article. Bruxton (talk) 19:40, 25 August 2023 (UTC)Reply

Infobox edit

  •   The infobox provides all significant items related to the information in the article. There is a map and NRHP information. Bruxton (talk) 19:48, 25 August 2023 (UTC)Reply

Images edit

  •   The United States has Freedom of Panorama for buildings and public interiors so the images are free. They are also relevant and interesting. It looks like @Rhododendrites: ate the beautiful Baked Alaska at Gage and Tollner. the picture is wonderful. Bruxton (talk) 19:48, 25 August 2023 (UTC)Reply

Early years edit

  •   This is a great section with much information including the price of a meal in 1900. Women were banned from smoking is an interesting pre-suffrage tidbit.
  • Consider adding information about this: One of the restaurant's co-owners, Marcus J. Ingalls, died there in February 1911 so that the reader's curiosity is satisfied. Like how he died? or? Bruxton (talk) 20:04, 25 August 2023 (UTC)Reply
  Done pinging @Epicgenius: to the nomination before final checks. Might be one item above this post that needs attention.

Ownership and use edit

  •   The references check out. The sections are detailed and accurate. The sources are all reliable. Great detail and I like the part about the milk crate discovery.

Cuisine and clientele edit

  •   Such a thorough and surprising part of the article. We also learn here that it was named as being one of the world’s best seafood restaurants, with a reference. Bruxton (talk) 01:06, 26 August 2023 (UTC)Reply

References edit

  •   The article has 232 references. Earwig only alerts to properly attributed quotes. The sources are high quality. I have spot checked many of the references and found that the nominator has been thorough and has properly interpreted the sources without WP:CLOP. Bruxton (talk) 01:12, 26 August 2023 (UTC)Reply
