  • ALT3:... that 28 Liberty Street's sunken rock garden had a pool of goldfish, which was removed after the fish died of copper poisoning when people threw pennies into the pool?
  • ALT4:... that adjoining 28 Liberty Street is a public sculpture that was once New York City's largest?
  • ALT5:... that 28 Liberty Street has a football-field-sized bank vault that couldcan store up to $35 billion in securities?
  • ALT6:... that 28 Liberty Street's construction took advantage of a zoning law that allowed buildings of unlimited height to rise on 25% of the plot?
  • ALT7:... that after 28 Liberty Street's private plaza was fenced off for construction during the Occupy Wall Street protests, people sued to reopen the plaza, claiming it violated freedom-of-speech laws?
  • @Epicgenius: Now you're talking. ALT5 seems the hookiest in terms of length, but why are you saying "had"? Isn't it still there? ALT3 and ALT7 are also good. All three are verified and cited inline. Yoninah (talk) 19:20, 9 June 2020 (UTC)
  • Thank you. Replacing tick for ALT3, 5, or 7, with preference for ALT5. Rest of review per CAPTAIN MEDUSA. Good to go. Yoninah (talk) 19:39, 9 June 2020 (UTC)
  • ALT5 pulled from queue. Some concerns were raised at ERRORS about ALT7. Let's come up with another hook. Thanks, Yoninah (talk) 18:23, 16 June 2020 (UTC)
  • Would ALT3 be all right? Or ALT8? epicgenius (talk) 18:35, 16 June 2020 (UTC)
  • ALT8:... that after 28 Liberty Street's private plaza was fenced off during the Occupy Wall Street protests, people sued to reopen the plaza, claiming it violated freedom-of-speech laws?
  • @Epicgenius: I find the wording in ALT3 a bit convoluted. How about this tweak of ALT8:
  • ALT8a: ... that after 28 Liberty Street's private plaza was fenced off during the Occupy Wall Street protests, people sued to reopen the plaza, claiming the barriers violated freedom-of-speech laws? Yoninah (talk) 16:38, 17 June 2020 (UTC)
