  • Note - Your prior nom is also missing the second of its QPQs. I didn't pull it from a queue as the missing QPQ is not a substantive issue however I would ask that you do two QPQs for this nom as but for that oversight your prior nom would not have been promoted.

  • - Length, Date, Cite, and Earwigs check and the image is freely licensed. Once the QPQs are done this hook should be good to go. Mifter (talk) 05:34, 5 March 2017 (UTC)
    • @Mifter: Thanks for the part review. I will do two reviews then. epicgenius (talk) 20:21, 5 March 2017 (UTC)
The second hook makes no sense. A jagged edge at right angles would have the same window area as a building with a square cross-section, for the same reasons as Manhattan distance. It does increase the window area to floor space ratio, though, and it does have more window area than a pentagonal building, but to be meaningful the hook still needs to specify what the window area is being increased over.

Upon further inspection, the cited source says "extra window exposure" and that the building has 28 sides, but not that there are more windows. Antony–22 (talkcontribs) 06:21, 7 March 2017 (UTC)
Seeing that ALT1 makes no sense anyway, how about this and @Antony-22:, nice use of "Manhattan distance" by the way, given that Trump's presence forces people in Manhattan to go an extra distance to avoid traffic near Trump Tower: epicgenius (talk) 17:44, 7 March 2017 (UTC)

I'm not sure that "window exposure" is a term that actually has a meaning. Better to focus on ALT0, in my opinion. Antony–22 (talkcontribs) 00:32, 8 March 2017 (UTC)
I thought ALT0 was better anyway. That was interesting to me at least. epicgenius (talk) 01:48, 8 March 2017 (UTC)
@Antony-22 and Mifter: I am reviewing Sabinoso Wilderness now, but I can't complete it until tomorrow. Does this count? epicgenius (talk) 01:28, 16 March 2017 (UTC)
@Antony-22 and Mifter: I finished the review of the above article. epicgenius (talk) 00:14, 18 March 2017 (UTC)
