A fact from Andrew Carnegie Mansion appeared on Wikipedia's
Main Page in the Did you know column on 8 March 2024 (
check views). The text of the entry was as follows:
Did you know... that the Andrew Carnegie Mansion in New York City was designed by "the only architects in the city who had not begged for the job"?

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. Under Site 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"
I prefer those hooks if we can correct them and make them line up with our article.

Epicgenius: I see you corrected the 1902 issue
Special: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: If you had corrected them first.... it is my fault for being too quick. Good article EG and I am excited to review this as a GAN.

ALT0a and ALT1a both short enough and interesting (I prefer ALT0a), and both AGF cited.--Launchballer 13:48, 29 February 2024 (UTC)reply
