Lead edit

 Y good lead summary. All of the elements are cited in the body and the lead summarizes the article.

Grammar edit

 Y consider removing had from "42nd Street had contained brownstones"
 Y "and eastern elevations contain plain brick facades" consider "and eastern elevations have plain brick facades"
 Y "to the west (right) are a wood-and-glass door" consider "is"
 Y "The third through eighth stories contain a pink-brick facade" consider "have" a pink...
 Y "the two center bays of the Wolcott's facade has oriel windows" consider "have"
 Y "Near the center of the hotel, there were also a palm room to the left of the lobby" consider "was".
 Y "The ground story also contains a ballroom covering 3,500" consider has instead of contains
 Y "little chicken that come unplucked from the Jersey farms" does the quote say "come" or came?
 Y "the hotel become a shelter for homeless former prisoners" consider "became"
I have done all of the above. Regarding the chicken quote, the original source says "come", as it was a contemporary brochure published from the time of the hotel's opening. Epicgenius (talk) 13:45, 14 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

Citations edit

 Y Site section citations check out,
 Y Architecture section cotations check out
 Y Facade citations check out
 Y Features sections checks out
 Y Public rooms section, I am having trouble confirming this citation for "The lobby ends at a checkout counter."
The source says: "But the lobby ends abruptly with a modest check-in desk, which shuts off what was formerly an equally elaborate ballroom." I've fixed this. Epicgenius (talk) 21:59, 18 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

 Y History the citations I can access check out AGF
 Y Development and opening citations check out
 Y 1900s to 1960s citations check out

 Y Critical reception Cannot access the citations AGF

Other edit
