Criteria

[edit]

1. Well-written

Prose clear, concise, and understandable checkY See some of the comments below
Spelling/Grammar checkY I corrected a few minor issues as I went along.
Lead checkY
Layout checkY
Buzzwords/fiction/lists checkY

2. Verifiable

No original research checkY
List of references properly formatted checkY
Inline citations from RS checkY
No COPYVIO checkY None detected.

3. Broad in coverage

Covers main aspects checkY
Stays on topic checkY, but see comment below at the public image section

4. Neutral checkY

5. Stable checkY

6. Illustrated if possible

Media tagged for copyright status checkY Images all appear to be tagged as uploader's own work except for one, which is tagged as a donated image. There is no obvious reason to doubt the own work tags.
Media relevant checkY
I have one concern about the media. One of the images, the image of patrons on the lawn, shows a fairly close, high-enough resolution to be recognizable shot of a patron's face. I'm not super familiar with the nuances of privacy law, but is this a situation in which the subject would have to give permission for the image to be released? The person would not be trackable to get said permission, so somebody probably better look into the applicable privacy law with that.
@Hog Farm: I don't think this should be an issue, as it is not disallowed in Wikimedia Commons, but I'll look into replacing it. I took hundreds of pictures of the park a couple months ago. epicgenius (talk) 02:20, 13 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Epicgenius: That ought to be good again. Since Commons doesn't disallow it, that'll work. Hog Farm (talk) 14:43, 13 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Notes

[edit]

"Geography and geology" Is "inter-laid" usually hyphenated? I've always seen it as "interlaid." Also, the redlink to Dyckman Street Fault should be taken care of, either through removal of the wikilinks or article creation.

"Site" "As of 1711, leaders declared" Which leaders?

"Late-20th and early-21st century improvements" WP:SEAOFBLUE at "Bette Midler's nonprofit organization, New York Restoration Project. I'd recommend "nonprofit organization" to be the one to be delinked.

"Plantings" Is "Picnic Grounds" a specifically-named portion of the park? If not, it shouldn't be capitalized.

"Playgrounds" "a triangle-shaped play area that primarily serves Inwood" What is Inwood?

"The Cloisters" Should the first b in "belgian blocks" be capitalized?

"Linden Terrace" The point is the highest spot in the Manhattan landscape, but not the highest spot in Manhattan. You should probably explain what you mean by this in the article.

"Concession building" SEAOFBLUE from the improvements section again.

Caption of the gazebo image I don't believe that gazebo should be capitalized in that usage.

"Public use and perception" I think listing the number of citations for public intercourse in 2018 constitutes excessive detail, although you may disagree with me about this.

I haven't checked the references yet, I'll get along to that soon. I've left some preliminary comments about the other criteria. Good work. Hog Farm (talk) 04:26, 11 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Sources

[edit]

Source 1: This takes me to a search function page. It would be nice to have the link directly to the subsite where Fort Tryon Park is listed, if possible.

Source 146: Is a bare reference name.

[edit]

Two of the external links, the Friends of the Park link and the Annual Medieval Festival link, are links to Wayback Machine page archives. I'm not sure if that is compatible with the requirement at WP:LINKSTOAVOID that external links be to a functioning website.

Overall, very good. See my notes above, most of the issues should be fairly easy fixes. Hog Farm (talk) 22:51, 11 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
