General: Article is new enough and long enough
Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems

Hook eligibility:

  • Cited: No - Needs to be all in one place; as it stands, the hook's parts are spread out.
  • Interesting: Yes
  • Other problems: No - "includes" is a bit problematic, and I had to go digging around to find out what you meant by that. "will incorporate" would be a better phrase for ALT0.
QPQ: Done.

Overall: Can sign off once the sourcing of the hook is fixed. ALT0 is a bit more descriptive and ALT2 retains interest, but ALT1 doesn't feel like an improvement on either. SounderBruce 07:56, 31 January 2020 (UTC)Reply

@SounderBruce: Thanks for the review. The best I can do is to add two sentences right next to each other, since I can't fit them in the same sentence. I have just done that. Also can you check this ALT3? epicgenius (talk) 13:55, 31 January 2020 (UTC)Reply
  • ALT3: ... that the 67-story Queens Plaza Park, slated to become one of Queens' tallest buildings, will incorporate Queens' first skyscraper, a 14-story clock tower?
It's fine as long as the same citation is next to both sentences in the lead. It's a relatively minor issue, so I'll pass this one and let you update it as needed. SounderBruce 22:28, 31 January 2020 (UTC)Reply
