A lot of material has been added since, so I bumped it up to Start class, but I think it could be rated even higher in its current state.--BillFlis (talk) 13:41, 9 April 2010 (UTC)

Thank you for nominating this article. I enjoyed it. No disamb. or invalid external links.

GA review (see here for criteria)

It is reasonably well written.
a (prose):  b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists): 
Vague: "and was intended to rival European department stores." - please explain
I clarified this.
"Wachovia is the main tenant"->"Wells Fargo is the main tenant" ???
This has been fixed, Wachovia is now Wells Fargo. I missed some when updating all references to Wachovia that aren't historical.
"Containing 9,000 square feet (840 m2) each, the 24th and 25th floors were turned into a penthouse apartment for Rodman Wanamaker, consisting of five bedrooms, six baths, and outdoor terraces." - When? By whom? Was this the original build-out? Avoid passive voice.
This should be clear now.
Please reword run on sentence: "The penthouse floors were converted to office use in 2000 by creative agency Red Tettemer + Partners, who worked with architects at Agoos & Levera to preserve the historical aspect of the space while creating a work space that would cultivate a culture of creativity."
This has been fixed and referenced.

Is it factually accurate and verifiable?
A. References to sources: 
"The bell originally swung, but it shook the building." - which building? Does the bell swing in One South Broad as well? Tell the reader how a non-swinging bell is struck.
Cleared up and added info.

B. Citation of reliable sources where necessary: 

C. No original research: 

It is broad in its coverage.
a (major aspects):  b (focused): 
Clarify whether Wanamakers left the city or just consolidated a block away. Fn 15 said it consolidated in the other building, but since was replaced by a Lord & Taylors.
Clarified history of the men's store.
Is there any particular characteristic that justified the NRHP designation?
Its not a NRHP designation, its a city Historic Place designation run by the city of Philadelphia. Which of their criteria was used to justify the designation I have not been able to discover in my research.
What is its relationship to other city landmarks?  Can one see it from known landmarks or the riverfront? (Do the upper floors have nice views of the Liberty Bell, etc.?
Every relevant landmark has been noted. I have noted its location across City Hall, and its proximity to the Wanamaker Building. I also noted how its sign is considered less important than the city's other major sign (PSFS Building). Its not near Independence National Park, and no reference mentions One South Broad visibility from any location.

It follows the neutral point of view policy.
Fair representation without bias: 

It is stable.
No edit wars, etc.: 
No edit wars.
It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate.
a (images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales):  b (appropriate use with suitable captions): 

Overall:
Pass/Fail:

I have contributed some stuff to this article. What is "GA"? (I corrected your spelling.)--BillFlis (talk) 10:51, 4 June 2011 (UTC)
Never mind, I found it—Georgia. Georgia?--BillFlis (talk) 11:14, 4 June 2011 (UTC) Response left on BillFlis' talk page. Racepacket (talk) 16:50, 4 June 2011 (UTC)
Thank you for your work on this article. Congratulations on another Good Article. Racepacket (talk) 19:50, 6 June 2011 (UTC)

This section has the belll in two different buildings – this building (One S Broad) and then-Wanamaker's main store (a block away). If the bell did hang in both buildings, when was it moved to One S Broad? Eagle4000 (talk) 20:13, 15 March 2017 (UTC)
