:::{{re|RoySmith}} Thank you for the review. I've added alt text to that image, which I'd completely forgotten about. I think ALT3 ''could'' be all right, but I'm having trouble tracking down the precise date that the SIBL closed - it was probably this March due to COVID-19, but that's true of the whole network. Also, the sources don't mention ladies (or even fashionability) in particular, it's just that the store moved from the Ladies' Mile on 6th Avenue. How about this?

B. Altman and Company Building

B. Altman and Company Building
B. Altman and Company Building

Created by Epicgenius (talk). Self-nominated at 15:08, 14 September 2020 (UTC).

  • Long enough. New enough (Created 2020-09-12, modulo a pre-existing redirect). Earwig flags a bunch of things, but they're all either proper noun phrases which would be impractical to rephrase, or a direct quote which is properly cited. Never been on the front page. Every paragraph after the lede is referenced. All of the proposed hooks seem fine, but ALT0 is the hookiest of the three. I'll add, however, the even hookier:
  • ALT3:... from the 1990s to the 2010s, you could browse for books where fashionable New York ladies used to browse for clothes? Source: Vulcan pays $93M for NYPL’s commercial condo at 188 Madison.
The image is CC-SA-3.0, appears in the article, but it's marginal at 100 x 100 px, especially since it's meant to illustrate the facade, which is barely visible at that size. It needs an alt-text in addition to the caption, which is just "(2007)". That's true whether or not it runs on DYK.
