Hey Epic. I'll do this one. Part of August 2023 backlog.

Infobox, Lead, Images, Layout, References

Infobox looks good.

I like the lead's paragraphing: one for the building's construction, one for its style, and one for its history. All info only found in article body, cited.

Good use of images. Captions good.

Overall layout good; sections properly denoting their focus.

References are consistently formatted, from a range of sources, and plentiful. Also appropriately broken into multiple sections.

Site

Spot-check: 3, 7, 9, 11

No issues.

Architecture

Spot-check: 5, 14, 17

The modern-day design dates to a 2000s renovation by Thierry Despont. As the lead and Hotel Renovation sections give a more specific timeframe, perhaps it should be specific here too.

Facade

Fixed a typo. Double-checked info with Landmarks Preservation Commission 1974 + 82, all good.

History

Spot-check: 25, 51

25 puts the money raised at $67,000. Can't access 53 so check to see if that has the $62,000 figure.

No other issues.

I checked 53, which says "The tour resulted in the receipt of $62,000 in admissions". I've thus changed the figure to "over $60,000". This seems like it was a discrepancy between sources, which unfortunately is not uncommon (Wikipedia:When sources are wrong kind of summarizes this issue).

Lambs Club (Development and early years)

Spot-check: 54, 60, 68, 77, 83, 85

Fixed typo.

Lambs Club (Mid-20th century)

Spot-check: 75, 95, 104, 110, 119

95 seems to state the figure as $1.4m. Can't access 96, check if that has the $1.5m figure.

119 says $360k, not $350k. Unless I'm missing something (likely), I'd recheck all numerical figures given in the article with their sources as there seems to be a running discrepancy. Other than that, no issues in this section.

123Writer ^talk 7:05, 6 August 2023 (UTC)

I misread 119. However, 96 does give a figure of 1.5 million, so I have rephrased it accordingly. I'm checking other figures in the article to see if there is a discrepancy. So far, the only issues I've seen are in places where multiple sources give conflicting figures. Epicgenius (talk) 16:09, 7 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Lambs Club (Foreclosure)

Spot-check: 120, 125, 130

Spot-check: 115, 150

No issues.

Hotel renovation

Spot-check: 18, 155, 161, 164

161 seems to say twice a month rather than once a week. Can't access 38.

123Writer ^talk 7:05, 6 August 2023 (UTC)

38 says "Mallia's least glamorous chore, however, happens once a week and takes about an hour and a half. Beginning on the top floor and working his way down, he goes into each room and flushes the toilet. Twice a month he turns on all the showers and sink faucets and lets them run for about 10 minutes." I've fixed it accordingly. Epicgenius (talk) 16:09, 7 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
