Opening statement edit
In every review I conduct, make small copyedits. These will only be limited to spelling and punctuation (removal of double spaces and such). I will only make substantive edits that change the flow and structure of the prose if I previously suggested and it is necessary. For replying to Reviewer comment, please use Done, Fixed, Added, Not done, Doing..., or Removed, followed by any comment you'd like to make. I will be crossing out my comments as they are redressed, and only mine. A detailed, section-by-section review will follow. –♠Vami_IV†♠ 01:02, 6 October 2018 (UTC)

The existing buildings on the land were cleared, and ground was broken for the new church in 1926. On New Year's Day 1928, during construction, a 3-year-old girl named Zita Triglia was killed when a 10-foot-long beam fell from the belfry scaffolding, knocking her from her father's arms.
Irrelevant and not supported by the given source (citation 13). I looked this up on google and the first result was a blog.- It is supported by citation 14. While I agree it could be pared down, I think it's relevant that someone was killed in the construction of the church. Would you agree? Ergo Sum 04:35, 10 October 2018 (UTC)
- @Vami IV: I've finally read through the book. It doesn't talk about Our Lady of Pompeii. However, I've done some more research on the author and he seems to be an established authority on the history of New York City's architecture; see here, here, and here for just a few examples. Given this fact, since the blog was published by an expert on this subject who has been previously published on the same subject by reputable, independent publishers, I think this might be one of the exceptions listed at WP:SELFPUBLISH that would qualify the blog as a usable source.

Remove the "Orgins" header? Its place before "Present church" would imply that it is the origins/historical context.- I'm not clear on what you mean here. Could you please explain? Ergo Sum 04:35, 10 October 2018 (UTC)
- Delete the "Origins" heading so there is not a section by that name. Seems odd to have no text between "History" and "Origins." –♠Vami_IV†♠ 02:23, 11 October 2018 (UTC)

- (Drive by comment) @Vami IV and Ergo Sum: It might just be me but I don't see a problem here. "Origins" is a subsections of "History". Doesn't that section talk about the historical context? Here is what I'm talking about. epicgenius (talk) 03:49, 14 October 2018 (UTC)
- I did stage that suggestion with a question mark, as it was personal taste. Not mandated in the MOS, as far as I've read. –♠Vami_IV†♠ 05:50, 14 October 2018 (UTC)
- @Vami IV: Thanks for your answer. Yes, I know it's just a preference. I was just asking because "Origins" and "Present church" are both subsections of "History". Personally, I don't see a problem dividing all the text under a main section into subsections. But as you said, that's a preference. epicgenius (talk) 15:48, 14 October 2018 (UTC)
- If nobody here has a particularly strong preference, I'm going to restore the Origins sub-header. Ergo Sum 17:16, 14 October 2018 (UTC)
