Hey, I'll review this article :) Rollinginhisgrave (talk) 06:31, 29 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

All done ~ I think the article should be expanded via The Wikipedia Library, but overall it is a very beautiful article, well written, well illustrated.

An unusual request; would you be willing to co-review an article with me? I think if you gave a review of Geoffrey Cuming and then I gave one and then it was passed/failed, we would both be able to learn something and the review would be excellent. Up to you.

Prose and content

in a blend of neoclassical style styles? Or a blend of neoclassical style and...?
Introduce Hillsdale College in the planning section.
Integrate the "There has never been a great university quote better, i.e. "saying at the time "... "
Construction ~~on Christ Chapel~~ began in March 2017
Parry's "I was glad" and Brahms' setting of the 84th Psalm give full names here
killed in the line of duty euphemism
English churches of Wren full name given it's first use in body, link
that connect present and future buildings being erected around the quad This tense use feels weird
with a header course can you gloss this?
Fides, Spes and Caritas translate these words if possible
The marble narthex features symbols of Christianity and its Jewish heritage the Old Testament is generally still considered Christian symbols, and I don't see any mention of any of this stuff in the source.
during unseasonable weather I'm not sure what the weather's relation to season has to do with it being in tune
Gloss the "Mere Christianity" descriptor
Could you tell me how they use stained glass in the statuary?
Gloss Pelican in her piety as linked article does not make it immediately apparent

I can see some more sources that should/could be included via Proquest, such as "12 Copper Sheet Metal Projects Win Awards" which details the construction and "Hillsdale College Lays Cornerstone of New Christ Chapel: Chapel construction project reaches important milestone as Hillsdale celebrates Fall Convocation" which says that planning started in 2001 among other things. Good resources to use, and you should have access to WP:LIBRARY.

Images: I have done a bit of reading, and I am quite sure the images of appropriately tagged for copyright (was unsure about interior of architecture US copyright). Thanks for taking these pictures. There is a lot of repetition in captions, i.e. "The cornerstone ~~of Christ Chapel~~, laid in 2017", "~~The chapel~~ viewed from the northeast."

Thanks @Rollinginhisgrave. I've updated the article per your suggestions with the following exceptions:

Wren is introduced and linked in the lede so I did not think he needed to be reintroduced in the architecture section.
Re: "unseasonable weather", that's a gloss on the following paragraph in the source: "The Gallery Organ is provided with a dedicated air conditioning system that was planned at the outset and built as a part of the chapel construction. During summertime, air-conditioned air is circulated throughout the organ case and is regulated by a thermostat high in the Swell. During the heating season, air will continue to circulate throughout the case to control temperature stratification. Experience with similar systems in our organs has shown this to be critical for keeping vertically separated divisions in tune with one another." Organ performance can be highly sensitive to weather.

The rest of the suggested changes are made. The Nov. 20, 2017, press release you suggested from ProQuest was already present in the article at this link, and I added the copper industry award source. Thank you for your detailed comments! I will reply on your talk page re: your request at top. Dclemens1971 (talk) 14:27, 30 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'm happy with these changes and your responses. Passing now. Rollinginhisgrave (talk) 14:39, 30 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
