Louis F. Menage

- Template:Strikethrough
- ALT3:... that in 1890, "robber baron" Louis F. Menage built what was then the tallest skyscraper in Minneapolis, Minnesota to house his offices?
- Reviewed: El Gamma Penumbra
Created by Nsteffel (talk). Self-nominated at 21:37, 31 August 2015 (UTC).
Article is new enough, long enough, no major problems spotted. ALT1 hook is short enough and corroborated by the cited source. To make it even better, I would suggest adding the phrase "robber baron" (in quotes) before the man's name in the hook, and also put it in the article; it's in Korom's book. File:Metropolitan_Building_Minneapolis.jpg could be used as an image. QPQ done. QVVERTYVS (hm?) 11:26, 8 September 2015 (UTC)
- As long as you don't have any concerns about the quality of the Metropolitan Building (Minneapolis) article I'm fine with those suggestions. I've tweaked the hook and added two quotations to the lede of Menage's article supporting that characterization. Nsteffel (talk) 17:41, 8 September 2015 (UTC)
QVVERTYVS (hm?) 22:43, 8 September 2015 (UTC)
Some doubts have been raised about the veracity of the hook, here, so I have returned it from prep until the issue can be resolved. Gatoclass (talk) 11:37, 20 September 2015 (UTC)
- I would be fine with editing the hook to refer to it as the city's then-tallest skyscraper in lieu of first if that would satisfy the concerns raised. Nsteffel (talk) 14:12, 20 September 2015 (UTC)
