GA list for Manhattan buildingsHi Epicgenius, following up from old discussions that were never actioned, I've split up the good article buildings list, adding Wikipedia:Good_articles/Art and architecture#Architecture – Buildings of Manhattan and Wikipedia:Good_articles/Art and architecture#Architecture – Buildings of the United States (other). Please feel free to fix any misplaced entries (shout out to New York Life Building and Smalls Paradise for not having "Manhattan" in the article preview). That said, even split all three sub-categories remain massive, so don't spend too long pouring through. The US one has a couple of easy splits (eg. Chicago) if needed. Manhattan though, what a behemoth. Perhaps a split would help provide some further insight (theatres?), but either way, an impressive body of work. CMD (talk) 16:01, 2 March 2023 (UTC)

Aoidh (talk) 12:02, 16 March 2023 (UTC) LayoutHere, that's a pretty unclear header. But at an article titled after and all about a station, it's pretty clearly about a station layout, not a newspaper layout or newspaper site layout. That said, though, you're right about one thing (consistency). I'm not about to hop across all two million or so similarly wordy sections just to save eight bytes on each, especially if you're following closely behind and adding them back. That's not a knock on you for doing it these three times. Thanks for keeping me in check, honestly! Just saying it's too big a job for any person, and pending a consensus to have a bot do it, I'm with you in accepting it's not going to change. More importantly, I'm curious, was the one edit you "thanked" me for from a shared hatred of misused "would" and useless "however" or a deeper love for "Jet Pilot"?
