Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Bartow–Pell Mansion; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.Reply

  •   Well done - the image is clear and free, the qpq is done. The article is neutral and cited. ALT0 is interesting, confirmed and cited in the article. The article was expanded from 2009 characters to 34,756 and it was nominated within the time period. Note: Earwig is not working for me today so this will need to be checked.

Robert Bartow

edit

The lede says that "Robert Bartow, a descendant of Thomas Pell, built the third and current house at some point between 1836 and 1842", but the Thomas Pell article says that Pell died without children. One of these things can't be true – please could someone with knowledge of the subject check? Brammers (talk/c) 22:39, 19 January 2024 (UTC)Reply

Edit: forgot to say, super article. It was a pleasure to read. Good luck with the GA nom. Brammers (talk/c) 22:40, 19 January 2024 (UTC)Reply
Thanks for bringing this up, and sorry for my delay in responding. Yeah, the NY Times article technically says that Bartow was a descendant of Pell, but I think he was not a direct descendant; rather, Bartow would most likely have been descended from the Pell family through Thomas Pell's brother. – Epicgenius (talk) 15:15, 29 February 2024 (UTC)Reply

2nd opinion

edit

@Epicgenius: I am requesting for 2nd opinion for the rest of the criteria. Cos (X + Z) 04:20, 18 May 2024 (UTC)Reply

@CosXZ I may be able to help, but it's not clear what specifically you're asking for a 2O on. RoySmith (talk) 12:35, 18 May 2024 (UTC)Reply
1A, 1B, 2C, 3A, 3B, and 4 of the criteria. Cos (X + Z) 23:26, 18 May 2024 (UTC)Reply
OK, that's a lot for a 2O, but I'm happy to pitch in as I can.
  • 1A: The prose meets the WP:GACR of "clear, concise, and understandable to an appropriately broad audience; spelling and grammar are correct". If this eventually finds its way to WP:FAC, however, I'd prefer to see a more flowing style adopted in order to meet the WP:FACR of being "engaging". There's a lot of runs of short simple declarative sentences such as Orchard Beach is across the lagoon. A hiking path called the Siwanoy Trail loops around the estate. The nearest New York City Subway station is the Pelham Bay Park station, located across the Hutchinson River. Bee-Line Bus's 45 route also stops outside the estate. This would read better with more varied sentence structure.
    • When the house was renovated by the IGC in 1915, the right or south wing of the house contained an "orangery" for serving tea. Does that mean the orangery was there when the renovation was started, or that it was added during the renovation?
    • The infobox says "Shore Road North", why the "North"?
  • 1B: Manual of style, no problems.
  • 2C: Original research, no problems.
  • 3A: Addresses the main aspects, no problems.
  • 3B: Stays focused, no problems.
  • 4: Neutral, no problems.
OK, back to you @CosXZ RoySmith (talk) 21:10, 19 May 2024 (UTC)Reply
