• ... that Larry Silverstein, the developer of New York City's old World Trade Center, once projected that the new World Trade Center would not be completed until 2037? Source: CBS News "If you continue going at the rate we're going, these buildings might not be finished until the Port's schedules, which is 2037"
  • ALT1:... that at one point, the new World Trade Center was not projected for completion until 2037? Source: CBS News
  • ALT2:... that the new World Trade Center is still not complete? Source: Curbed. "Against all odds, there is a World Trade Center again, and while it’s not quite finished (and some parts are still up in the air) it’s getting closer and closer to completion."

Improved to Good Article status by Epicgenius (talk). Self-nominated at 19:09, 11 January 2018 (UTC).

• GA, in time, long enough, sourced, no apparent copyvios, QPQ done. Preference for ALT2, but Epicgenius, for ALT0 or ALT1, the sentence ending in "is still a hole in the ground" needs an inline citation (i.e., you need to copy over the one that ends the paragraph). --Usernameunique (talk) 01:40, 12 January 2018 (UTC)

• @Usernameunique: Thanks for the review. I have done that. I also think ALT2 would be better. epicgenius (talk) 14:45, 12 January 2018 (UTC)

• All set. --Usernameunique (talk) 19:20, 12 January 2018 (UTC)

• Returned from prep for further work per discussion at WT:DYK#Prep 1 - ... that the new World Trade Center is still not complete?. Yoninah (talk) 23:24, 27 January 2018 (UTC)

From that discussion, I suggested ALT3:

• ALT3: ... that the new World Trade Center was once projected for completion in 36 years, longer than the original complex had existed?

I also wrote: I added a note to the new WTC's article. The 28 years are per WP:CALC. If that doesn't work, we can just go with ALT1. 00:19, 28 January 2018 (UTC) epicgenius (talk) 00:24, 28 January 2018 (UTC)

• Thank you, Epicgenius, ALT3 looks good. ALT3 hook ref verified and cited inline. Rest of review per Usernameunique. ALT3 good to go. Yoninah (talk) 00:28, 28 January 2018 (UTC)
