Hello! I'll be taking a look at this article for the January 2022 GAN backlog drive. If you haven't already signed up, please feel free to join in! Although QPQ is not required, if you're feeling generous, I also have a list of GA nominations of my own right here.


### Infobox and lede
While grammatically correct as is, it feels like there should be something before "from 1852 to 1930" to fill out that first sentence
You're gonna have to help me out on this one. I agree it feels like it needs a little more, but my brain isn't computing what would fit...
"and was rebuilt both times"
Done


### History
Similarly to above, feels like something is missing after "The block", needs equivocator like "The block in Syracuse on which Wieting Opera House was located"
Done


#### Wieting Hall
Do we know what year Wieting purchased the building?
will look in to
Added
Rearrange order of sentences so it starts with why he purchased it and then goes into he either funded improvements or built it himself
"held in the hall at that point."
"Salina street" → "Salina Street"
Comma after "Seating was first interlocked wooden chairs"
MOS:TIME suggests "noon" or "midnight" be used over "12:00"
Done the above
That being said, the part about the tensions arising at the 1858 convention read as trivia
I'm not so sure... a number of sources (including the Tammany one cited which was published in 1895-- so over thirty years after it happened) highlight it as a notable occurrence at the hall.


#### Wieting Opera House
"Twenty four" → "Twenty-four"
Rather than having em dashes around losses from the fire were estimated at $400,000, I would just split the sentence after "again burnt to the ground"
I'd assume MOS suggests that there should be an en dash rather than a hyphen in "Shubert-Wieting", but I could be wrong
done the above
Awkward em dash after "namely the Wieting"; without its mate and with a space after the dash, which is against MOS:DASH
Revised pgrasing
"because of a poor reception" → "due to a poor reception"
done


#### Later history
The final Wieting Unclear if this is the person Wieting or the building
When did Mary die? Seems significant if her estate managed the house for some time
Clarified the above


### References
Note [a] should end in a period
Done


### General comments
Images are all public domain and relevant to the article
I would move the second one (of Wieting Block) down a smidge for aesthetic reasons
Done
No stability concerns in the revision history
Earwig raises no concerns
Thank you for your patience; in addition to my migraines, my heart has been acting up recently. Putting on hold now. As always, feel free to ping me with questions, and please let me know when you're finished. — GhostRiver 16:54, 11 February 2022 (UTC)

Thanks @GhostRiver-- one or two questions, otherwise all your points should be actioned. Let me know if there's anything else. Eddie891  Talk Work  19:24, 13 February 2022 (UTC)
Eddie891 Thank you for your patience as I have been dealing with several health issues. I have added a phrase to the lede, and if the 1858 convention seems relevant in the sources, it's fine to include. Passing now! — GhostRiver 18:09, 18 February 2022 (UTC)
