Talk:14 Wall Street

Upper Floors

I had edited in that floors 32-37 are located within the pyramid roof and are only used for storage but it was removed for lack of citation. How am I supposed to cite something like that? Other than say a few photographs showing that 31 is the top floor and 32-37 are actually within the pyramid, I can't think of any public document that would contain this. Overall a trivial detail, but I think it should be noted that while the building contains 37 floors (38 including elevator lift room) only 31 are useable.

Unfortunately, we cannot accept information that you are personally aware of that can't be corroborated with a citation from a reliable source. That's because all information must be verifiable by other editors, and they cannot do so if there's no citation. You'd be surprised, though, at what kinds of information is out there, so I suggest you try a Google search and see what comes up. Beyond My Ken (talk) 19:56, 31 January 2013 (UTC)

• Meets expansion, length, policy requirements. Did a spot check of refs and everything matches up. Hook is good - I prefer ALT 3 as the most interesting. Nice work. Neutrality^talk 22:19, 29 April 2020 (UTC)

Comments

1.

• Would it be appropriate to link Venice? Venice is fairly well known, but some readers may not know where Venice is.
  •  Done
• Is there a way to gloss what a tempietto is? It's not a well-known architectural feature, and typing the phrase in the searchbar redirects to a specific example.
  •  Done
• Link granite
  •  Done
• "the street than did the original building,[4] In addition to an entrance" - I believe that should be a period, not a comma.
  •  Done
• "The "express" elevators that ran nonstop from the lobby to serve the upper floors while the "local" elevators served the lower floors and the "relief" elevators served all floors." - Remove the word "that"
  •  Done
• J. P. Morgan is a duplink
  •  Removed
• "the trust leased the Stevens Building for 84 years. at a cost of $1.5 million." - the period after years shouldn't be there
  •  Done

2.

• Publication date for the MTA map (Ref 6) should be 2015 I believe - that's the date on the map.
  •  Done
• Some issues with Ref 90 (The NY Post archive) - First, there should be a $ in the title instead of the %. Second, the archive linked to has some markup code instead of the article below the NY Post header (the page appears to have been down during the web crawl), but the archive snapshot before the current one does work (use the arrows at the top by the dates)
  •  Done I also found the current page location, so it is a live link now. epicgenius (talk) 13:46, 11 May 2020 (UTC)
• Ref 101 needs the publication date.
  •  Done

• Should the note about the floors be noted in the infobox too, since it's placed in the lead and the first mention in the text, or would that cross the line into clutter in your view?
  • No, I think this would be fine. epicgenius (talk) 13:46, 11 May 2020 (UTC)

Placing on hold, just a few things to tidy up. Hog Farm (talk) 04:09, 11 May 2020 (UTC)
