1.2 cubic yards doesn't seem like a lot, and cursory examination of the next citation to appear doesn't reveal this figure. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.90.150.51 ( talk) 13:48, 19 January 2022 (UTC)
If we could get something like the amount of acreage added in each century, that would make for a pretty interesting bar graph.-- Pharos ( talk) 14:42, 22 January 2022 (UTC)
Almost all of T. Kennard Thomson's designs should be in the public domain, except for the 1930 revisions, and including everything in the NYPL Digital Collections scrapbook. The challenge for some of them just might be to find more legible digital copies. Also, probably the best single multimedia for this article would be a navigable street map with an overlay of the original shoreline.-- Pharos ( talk) 19:59, 19 January 2022 (UTC)
We've designated this article as the Wikipedia:WikiProject New York City/Monthly collaboration for January.-- Pharos ( talk) 18:20, 21 January 2022 (UTC)
At some point we may want to start Land reclamation in New York City, on the model of articles for other cities ( Hong Kong, Metro Manila, Monaco, Singapore), though I think for now Lower Manhattan is a distinct enough topic by itself.-- Pharos ( talk) 20:45, 21 January 2022 (UTC)
Currently, Viele map (1865) is shown as close-up of Water, Front and South streets (shown as A. below). I propose replacing it with a wider view below Houston (shown as B.). The close-up is contained in the wider view. The details are only visible when enlarged. Should both A. and B. be kept or just use B.? With only the wider view, it allows the curious reader to find the detail. I do like both of them. As a map person, I am too close to the subject to trust my judgement. Don't want to overwhelm the page with more than one view of the same map. - DutchTreat ( talk) 13:09, 27 January 2022 (UTC)
I think maybe we should expand #South Street-East River proposals to cover everything that's part of the "BIG U" and Lower Manhattan Coastal Resiliency proposals, and also probably spin out an independent Lower Manhattan Coastal Resiliency article when appropriate.-- Pharos ( talk) 03:01, 30 January 2022 (UTC)
