Ah, I didn't realize you weren't done, I'm sorry. The Later operation paragraph and middle paragraph of the flagship section are a little long; could you split them up perhaps? Natural place for the second one would be before you talk about Amazon's acquisition. Please ping me when you're done.
944:
I'm not sure of the status of the interior amenities, but I'm leaning toward saying that they don't exist anymore. Earlier this year, the building was acquired by Amazon, and their plans aren't super detailed. But again, I'm not sure what's happening in there.
960:
Maybe make more clear the status of the holdout lot? You say the company signed a lease for the holdout in 1986, but the owner refused to sell the land in section 2, Design. I think I get it, but maybe make it clear that the owner refused to sell the land
521:
You have a good point and normally I would do this. However, I'm planning to make an article specifically about the B. Altman & Company Building, which I've been putting off since January. If I do this now, I'll end up undoing it soon afterward.
643:"When Samuel Reyburn... window displays." This sentence feels out of place, and I don't think its that relevant. If these displays were a pioneering thing, note that, but otherwise I think it would be better if it was omitted. 1035:
The article is illustrated well, and all the photos have permissive licensing. Perhaps a photo of the building in the 20s could be added? I found a couple on Google which should be public domain by now.
58: 1053:
Alright, I've gone over the article again and it looks good. I appreciate the recent information w.r.t. Amazon's intentions with the building. Shall pass the nomination accordingly.
450:
Okay kind of irrelevant, but I just confused this with the earlier GA nom of yours, and got so scared because I didn't see any of my review. Thank God this is a different article!!
137: 133: 91: 63: 118: 672:
I would note that Dorothy Shaver was the first woman in the United States to head a multimillion-dollar firm; provides extra establishment of her notability
81: 110: 816:"the limestone base of/spanning the first and second floors" Easier to parse and parallel construction with the other phrases in the sentence 689:"rehabilitated" sophisticated word, but I'd just use "restored"/"returned" or something like that and restructure the sentence a bit. 167: 193: 86: 126: 17: 37:
Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

Again, I have questions about tense. Do the gym, solarium, etc. still exist? What about the dining areas and food court?
1039:
Overall, the article is in great shape; I'll pass the nomination once you've responded to my comments above. Cheers,
569: 518:
do link B. Altman and Company, but not "Building" (otherwise the reader expects it to link to a building article)
103: 1011:
Excellent coverage, and not overly detailed (except maybe for the 1916 Samuel Reyburn thing that I noted above)
922:"design of the building:" "design of the building." Because the sentence is part of a pretty short paragraph 1073: 1058: 1044: 989: 455: 441: 161: 974: 950: 661: 656:
This relates to the fact that there was a dispute over such a display in 1938. But I have hidden it.
557: 527: 178: 763:
maybe set off with em dashes or parentheses? I find the commas a bit confusing for some reason
745:
A bit confusing, I would suggest removing the sentence because it doesn't really tell anything
1069: 1054: 1040: 985: 451: 437: 157: 1077: 1062: 1048: 993: 978: 970: 954: 946: 665: 657: 561: 553: 531: 523: 459: 445: 171: 887:"Cork surfaces were... reduce employee fatigue." A bit confused; how does cork do this? 501:
Similar to last time, I suggest you move the street location after the first sentence.
360: 306: 332: 210: 183: 798:"At the time, the company announced" Remove "at the time", because it is redundant 319: 265: 251: 237: 1019:
Not much controversial about a building. The critical review section looks good.
405:
There are various trademarks in the second image, but they don't matter due to
365: 223: 724:
Comment: excellent explanation of the significance of Shaver's changes
969:
The holdout building still exists, so I have clarified that point.

Note: this represents where the article stands relative to the

Remove link to flagship, as it goes to something about boats
