Hi @ Epicgenius: and others - we were just adding details of events that have taken place in Grand Central to its main article, and I see several other events were just added here as well. I'm not sure the best path forward, but I have one suggestion. I believe this article should only focus on the events/exhibitions that are intended as part of the arts: the Colorama, the fashion show, Lost Property, Wish Mashine, the Art Cars, musical performances, etc. I think events/exhibitions like the Redstone missile, aircraft carrier or church model, park improvement plans, jump-rope competition, etc. shouldn't be in this article about art. It could be worked into the prose of the history article, or we could have a section at the end of the history article just for all bullets about all temporary events/exhibitions/notable things that have happened within the terminal. What do y'all think? ɱ (talk) 05:34, 4 February 2019 (UTC)
[1] states that the ceiling artwork was the work of Giovanni Smeraldi (an alternative name of John B. Smeraldi). This article doesn't mention him and his article doesn't mention Grand Central, though. Was he the one who covered up the original? Some info would be nice. {{u| Sdkb}} talk 08:26, 18 September 2020 (UTC)

Footnote #9, meant to back up the claim that the large clock built into the sculptural grouping atop the facade was designed and built by the Self-Winding Clock Company, does not in fact do that. It links to a NY Times article about a different clock, a small one inside the terminal.
While the article states that said company produced thousands of clocks used by railroads all over the country, nowhere does it confirm that they built the big clock outside.
