ALT2:... that Times Square Tower and 5 Times Square were allowed to bypass New York City zoning codes but had to include huge billboards? Source: Brazil, Aine M.; Gottlieb, Eli (2004). "A Tale of Two Towers; The Structures". Civil Engineering. 74 (6): 46.
@Ezlev: Thanks for the review. I have done 2 QPQs now (actually a nomination with 3 articles, but I'm saving the remaining credit for later). As for ALT0, the accounting firm Arthur Andersen was supposed to be the main tenant at Times Square Tower, but its lease was canceled; Ernst & Young was developing 5 Times Square across the street, and it hired some of the Arthur Andersen workers that would've moved into Times Square Tower.

ALT1 and ALT2 are good to go! Your explanation of ALT0 makes perfect sense and is interesting, but the cause and effect as you’ve explained them aren’t very clear in the hook. ezlev (user/tlk/ctrbs) 15:55, 4 October 2021 (UTC)Reply
