Hello, I'm GhostRiver. I'll be reviewing this article against the good article criteria. By doing so, I am earning points for the WikiCup and the January 2025 GAN Backlog Drive. Although a quid pro quo review is not necessary, it is appreciated. You can see what open good article nominations I have here.

I will go through the article section by section checking it against the criteria. Once I have finished my review, I will place the article on hold, giving you seven days to respond. If you need more time, just reach out! While I'll always put the article on hold once it's ready for you to look at, you may start making changes before I complete my review. — GhostRiver 21:16, 6 January 2025 (UTC)

• Although the later prose makes this clear, the use of "original headquarters" in this first part of the body is confusing out of context, as it's not clear what the non-original headquarters might be.
  • I have changed this to "The original headquarters comprises two structures, the Administration Building and Research Tower. These occupy a city block bounded by 16th Street to the south, Howe Street to the west, 15th Street to the north, and Franklin Street to the east." Epicgenius (talk) 00:35, 8 January 2025 (UTC)

• the 1964 fair closed → the fair closed and then the WL is "the fair".

Post-completion

1950s to 1960s

• SC Johnson erected a large plastic globe outside the headquarters in 1954. Why? (Synthesize from source)
  • I have added an explanation from the source. Epicgenius (talk) 00:35, 8 January 2025 (UTC)
• The theater was rededicated in July 1967 and initially screened the film To Be Alive! and hosted SC Johnson meetings. Awkward semi-run on. Specify that the film screening was for the dedication and separate out the meetings.
  • I've reworded the sentence. These film screenings actually occurred for several years afterward, not just at the dedication, although they aren't as common today. Epicgenius (talk) 00:35, 8 January 2025 (UTC)
• The Research Tower's floors were originally painted red, but each pair of floors was repainted over the years to prevent confusion. Assume this means each floor was painted a different color? Please specify.
  • Yes, that is correct. I've fixed this. Epicgenius (talk) 00:35, 8 January 2025 (UTC)

General comments

• Throughout the article, replace "SC Johnson" with "S. C. Johnson" per MOS:INITIALS and the name of the company article
  • I've done this as well. Thanks for the initial comments, GhostRiver. Epicgenius (talk) 00:35, 8 January 2025 (UTC)
