5x expanded by Arbitrarily0 (talk). Self-nominated at 12:36, 26 December 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/40 Bank Street; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.


General: Article is new enough and long enough
Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
Image: Image is freely licensed, used in the article, and clear at 100px.
QPQ: Done.

Overall: A couple of points, but no issues.

  • According to DYK Check, expansion began on 18 December. The nomination date was 26 December. That makes 8 days, which I am happy to overlook, because the article is worth promoting, and what is one day, after all. Also, DYK Check is not very accurate regarding expansion dates.
  • I strongly suggest that you add the article's beautiful ID picture to this nom. As a thumbnail it would be clear, and it is eye-catching.

Good to go with ALT0 or ALT1. I prefer ALT0 with the article's ID picture (right), if the creator agrees to use it, because the picture clearly shows the apparent fusion of two buildings.

(Note ALT1 is fine on its own, but would not work with the picture because its lighting does not show up the "hollows" effect.) Storye book (talk) 16:54, 30 December 2023 (UTC)

In response to Arbitrarily0's agreement: good to go with ALT0 and image. Storye book (talk) 10:38, 31 December 2023 (UTC)
