I'll be reviewing this article. Just giving it a basic look it's looking stable and I haven't spotted any cleanup tags. I am also unaffiliated with the article, so I should be fine as well. Regards, SirBrahms (talk) 19:17, 3 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi SirBrahms! asilvering mentioned in a comment above that he thinks the lede in this article is too short. I've been brainstorming what to add to it and have some ideas, would you like me to add them before you review the article or would you like to review the article as is? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gb321 19:45, 3 October 2024 (UTC) (talk • contribs) [reply]

Please add your ideas, ping me when you're done. Regards, SirBrahms (talk) 19:52, 3 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
done! Gb321 (talk) 06:18, 4 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Initial Review: Criteria 1a and 1b are definitely met. The article reads concisely and seems to comply with WP:MOS.

Criterion 3a is also met in my opinion. It is, however, arguable whether that many buildings should be listed for each architectural style (Criterion 3b). For example, the paragraph about Classic Revival lists 16 different buildings.

Criterion 4 is met, the article seems to be written from a neutral point of view. It is also stable (criterion 5) and the images are placed correctly, have helpful captions and I don't see any copyright violations.

As for criteria 2a, b, c, and d I have not yet finished checking all sources. Although Tthe copivio detector did detect some larger overlap between source 1 and the text (especially in Description) but it doesn't appear to be plagiarism outright. Regards, SirBrahms (talk) 11:23, 4 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

After doing a spot-check of the sources I am happy to mark criteria 2a, b, c, and d as passed. Leaving only criterion 3b for consideration (I am inviting discussion, but I am of the opinion that the excessive number of buildings enumerated detracts from the focus of the article).
