Picture With Flags Removal?

I think the picture towards the bottom right of the page should be removed. I do not believe that the Palace hotel is actually in the photo. It appears the large black structure is the Olympic tower and the photo was taken on 5th avenue while the Palace Hotel is on Madison Ave.

Add "a" before "wet bar" and wikilink it.
"late 19th and early 20th century" → "late 19th and early 20th centuries"
Shouldn't "public comment" be plural?
"near 50th Street entrance" - reword
Capitalize President when naming a title.
Wall Street Journal → The Wall Street Journal
