Comment. Both names are equally correct. Even the building's marketing site uses them interchangeably [1]. - Station1 (talk) 20:08, 13 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
- Then the first sentence should say 1 Wall Street is an Art-Deco-style skyscraper... Triplecaña (talk) 12:29, 22 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: More hooks forthcoming

5x expanded by Epicgenius (talk). Self-nominated at 16:28, 5 June 2020 (UTC).[reply]

New enough. 5x expansion long enough (24490 vs 4461 characters). Image suitable for main page. QPQ done. Earwig's Copyvio Detector found no issues. NPOV observed. All paras (except lead per MOS) well-cited. ALT0 checks out, "a small fire" is still a fire! AGF on ALT1 as I cannot access the original. As for ALT2, the original has "If the New York skyline has a triumvirate of great Art Deco contemporaries, it might be said to range from the astronomical Empire State Building to the astonishing Chrysler Building to the almost anonymous 1 Wall Street, the Bank of New York.", so the hook might be a bit of a stretch. In any event, I prefer the other two hooks. For ALT1, one might trim "second largest in New York City and". All three hooks are interesting. Edwardx (talk) 18:33, 6 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
