[edit]1a
[edit]the prose is clear, concise, and understandable to an appropriately broad audience; spelling and grammar are correct
The Design section is a bit technical at some points, but I don't think it's too much. Bsoyka (talk · contribs) 04:58, 2 June 2021 (UTC)

[edit]all inline citations are from reliable sources, including those for direct quotations, statistics, published opinion, counter-intuitive or controversial statements that are challenged or likely to be challenged, and contentious material relating to living persons—science-based articles should follow the scientific citation guidelines
@Epicgenius: The only thing that sticks out to me in terms of reliable sources is the usage of the New York Post as a source. (Refs 35 and 105 in this revision) Per WP:NYPOST, this site has been deemed generally unreliable on multiple occasions and it should probably be removed or replaced here.

- Thanks for pointing this out. I have removed these instances of the Post being used. However, I would argue that Steve Cuozzo and Lois Weiss are highly respected in their field and can be considered a reliable source, even if the newspaper is generally unreliable. In the discussion where the Post was deprecated, I argued that an exception could be made for real estate news. In other pages, I've tried to minimize my usage of the Post to these two authors where it's impossible to avoid it. Epicgenius (talk) 18:04, 24 May 2021 (UTC)
- Sounds good. I guess in this situation it's better to be safe than sorry since we can never know if there was influence from editors and whatnot. I'm definitely open to discussing this if you'd like, but I think that since the info from those articles is available from less questionable sources, they should be used instead just out of caution.

[edit]it contains no copyright violations nor plagiarism
A quick run through Earwig's Copyvio Detector gives a 31.0% similarity, but after manual review, looks good to me. Bsoyka (talk · contribs) 14:05, 24 May 2021 (UTC)

[edit]media are tagged with their copyright statuses, and valid fair use rationales are provided for non-free content
All seven images look good! Everything is on Commons and nothing is non-free, so no rationales needed. Bsoyka (talk · contribs) 14:05, 24 May 2021 (UTC)
