Talk:Industry City

Bush Terminal

I don't think Bush Terminal Piers is now Industry City (part of it maybe the privately controlled part). I think this needs some fact checking and sources. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 161.185.151.34 (talk) 18:17, 18 September 2014 (UTC)

Should the Industry City and Bush Terminal articles be split? They are referring to two totally different things - Bush Terminal refers to a historic seaport that encompassed the current South Brooklyn Marine Terminal as well as the modern Bush Terminal Piers Park to the south, whereas Industry City refers to a few buildings located east of the South Brooklyn Marine Terminal, that served the piers previously but is now basically a real estate development. I don't think the two should go together.--Darkhunger (talk) 22:11, 16 February 2016 (UTC)

No, they are part of the same complex. Industry City comprises most of Bush Terminal and the history is continuous. It is similar to Brooklyn Army Terminal and Brooklyn Navy Yard, both formerly military terminals that are now industrial complex. epicgenius (talk) 14:34, 21 November 2018 (UTC)

The more research I do, the more it seems that this should actually be moved to the Bush Terminal article, and the Industry City part should be split. It seems like Industry City occupies the majority of the former Bush Terminal, though there is still a campus called Bush Terminal. epicgenius (talk) 14:09, 26 November 2018 (UTC)

Well, I did even more research, and it seems like Bush Terminal (the entirety) was called Industry City as early as the 1950s, and possibly earlier. I am very confused, but I'll hold off on a split. epicgenius (talk) 01:29, 29 November 2018 (UTC)

@Epicgenius: Finally got back to IC the other day. Rainy day, so no exteriors, and generally rushed so quality is bad, but here are some pics of the Japan Village if they're useful. — Rhododendrites ^talk \\ 13:17, 13 May 2019 (UTC)

@Rhododendrites: Thanks. These are very helpful even if they're somewhat rushed. Regarding exterior pictures, I think I took some exterior shots last year, but it was from underneath the Gowanus. epicgenius (talk) 13:48, 13 May 2019 (UTC)

Improved to Good Article status by Epicgenius (talk). Self-nominated at 12:53, 22 August 2019 (UTC).

• The full review is to follow, but right now I kind of find the article a little disorienting. Sometimes the article refers to "Bush Terminal", and at other times refers to "Industry City" (I'm aware that they refer to the same place, but it's still kind of confusing to keep track). I'd suggest doing some kind of rewording to improve consistency, or at least to make things more clear about what subject is being referred to. Of the hooks proposed, the first hook and ALT2 are probably the best options. Narutolovehinata5 ^tccsdnew 04:21, 30 August 2019 (UTC)

• @Narutolovehinata5: Thanks for the comment. I referred to the subject according to what it was called at that point in time. Hence, the use of "Bush Terminal" in the first few subsections of the History section. It has been clarified now. epicgenius (talk) 14:14, 3 September 2019 (UTC)

Thanks. Looks better now, will try to finish the review by the end of the week (the article is pretty long so it might take a while to check everything out). Narutolovehinata5 ^tccsdnew 03:41, 9 September 2019 (UTC)

• Article was promoted to good article status on time, and I am assuming good faith that the GA criteria for that was met; DYK article criteria are met as well. Earwigs is currently down so I am unable to check for close paraphrasing; however, my earlier concerns about confusing wording has been addressed. I cannot access the sources for ALT0 so I am assuming good faith for their veracity. I was however able to access the source for ALT2 and verify the information. As I mentioned before, ALT0 and ALT2 are the most interesting hooks, and are cited inline. A QPQ has been done. Should be good to go with ALT0 and ALT2; the final choice will be left to the promoter.
