I have upload a non-free image (File:Seattle Federal Reserve Building development rendering.jpg) of the proposed skyscraper development. Please reconsider your image review to include the new non-free image. Sounder Bruce 04:49, 30 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Ok. I just checked it and it should be fine. I will try to get this review done today. Eteethan(talk) 12:07, 2 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Additional notes[edit]

^ Compliance with other aspects of the Manual of Style, or the Manual of Style mainpage or subpages of the guides listed, is not required for good articles.
^ Either parenthetical references or footnotes can be used for in-line citations, but not both in the same article.
^ This requirement is significantly weaker than the "comprehensiveness" required of featured articles; it allows shorter articles, articles that do not cover every major fact or detail, and overviews of large topics.
^ Vandalism reversions, proposals to split or merge content, good faith improvements to the page (such as copy editing), and changes based on reviewers' suggestions do not apply. Nominations for articles that are unstable because of unconstructive editing should be placed on hold.
^ Other media, such as video and sound clips, are also covered by this criterion.
^ The presence of images is not, in itself, a requirement. However, if images (or other media) with acceptable copyright status are appropriate and readily available, then some such images should be provided.

Streamline Moderne?[edit]

Who determined it was Streamline Moderne? It doesn't look anything like Streamline Moderne. 209.137.134.50 (talk) 15:30, 16 February 2016 (UTC) 2/16/2016[reply]

@209.137.134.50: My mistake. I meant to link to Moderne architecture (which currently redirects to Streamline Moderne), which is referenced by the GSA and HistoryLink, but it does not have an article anymore. I've changed all references to the style to "Modernist". Sounder Bruce 19:37, 16 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
