A fact from Park Avenue Armory appeared on Wikipedia's
Main Page in the Did you know column on 7 October 2023 (
check views). The text of the entry was as follows:
Did you know... that the Park Avenue Armory was leased out as an art center because the New York state government could not pay for repairs?
Yes. Yes it should. And the article on the organization that operates it should use its full name, Park Avenue Armory Conservancy. I'm going to propose a move.

Requested move 5 June 2023
The following is a closed discussion of a
requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a
move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
– The building itself is far better known as the Park Avenue Armory, as seen in even a cursory search of common sources, like
The New York Times. Even the city's
Landmarks Conservancy refers to the building as the Park Avenue Armory. The current title may be the building's listing on the NRHP, but those names are frequently not the actual common name but a mere descriptor.
More importantly, the term "Park Avenue Armory" refers to the building itself, not the organization that operates it, which is the Park Avenue Armory Conservancy. Just because their logo omits the word doesn't change the group's name to make it most commonly referred to by the building's common name. The lead sentence of that article saying the organization is "generally known as Park Avenue Armory" is unsourced and unfounded. In casual use people will muddle the distinction, but this is an encyclopedia, not casual use. The current arrangement ignores
WP:NATDIS and fails
WP:COMMONNAME for the building.

"The interior of the building contains numerous rooms designed in several styles" – "Numerous buildings in the interior of the building were designed in several styles"
"By the 21st century, the armory was largely being used as an event and exhibit space." – was?
", with expansions in 1909–1913 and 1928–1933... The armory was substantially expanded from 1909 to 1913" – kept one or the other.
"The facade also had quoins and arches made of granite" – "The facade also had quoins and granite arches". Also, is it mentioned what the quoins made of?
"There are also brick corbels extending horizontally across the third floor" – "Brick corbels extended horizontally across the third floor."
Another: "The large vaulted space for the drill hall is on the eastern three-quarters of the block." – I think it should be "at" instead of "on"
In American English at least, "on" would be correct here, as the drill hall physically occupies the eastern three-quarters of the block. We would use "at" if it were part of a larger complex (e.g. we would describe a theater as being at
Lincoln Center, but we would describe the armory as being on the block).

Interior:
The first floor of the administration building contains various regimental rooms. – replace contains with houses
"consisted of spaces for the adjutant, board of officers, colonel, field and staff, and non-commissioned officers." – what sort of space? Previously it's mentioned about offices. Are those offices are meant for this group of people too?
Basically, I was trying to say "adjutant's room", "board of officers' room", etc. without being repetitive. Most of these were offices, except for the board of officers' room, which I think was a meeting room.

The interior spaces were decorated with various paintings and portraits, including a portrait by Rembrandt Peale, depicting George Washington; portraits of various 7th Regiment colonels and other officers; and paintings by Thomas Nast and Sanford Robinson Gifford, depicting the 7th Regiment in camp and on the march.
If my understanding of this sentence is correct, a portrait of George Washington is by Rembrandt Peale, along with portraits of various 7th Regiment colonels and other officers? And then paintings by Thomas Nast and Sanford Robinson Gifford depicting the 7th Regiment in camp and on the march.
(1) A portrait of George Washington is by Rembrandt Peale. (2) There are portraits of various 7th Regiment colonels and other officers, possibly created by Peale but also by other artists. (3) Thomas Nast and Sanford Robinson Gifford created paintings depicting the 7th Regiment in camp and on the march.

I might suggest simplifying and cutting up this sentence to be clearer who and who painted which
" The ceiling is coffered[37] and has redwood beams." – Wikilink
Coffer and rewrite "The ceiling is coffered with redwood beams" or "the ceiling coffer is of redwood beam"
"the galleries still exist, and there is storage space under the galleries." – "the galleries still exist with storage (space) underneath."
Company rooms and other spaces:
"though no two rooms were alike" – "each room with a distinct design/layout"
"and lacks a stair" – "without a stair(way)"
"The design of Company E's room was revised in 1892 when the ceiling was refinished in a strapwork design, the walls were covered in Japanese wallpaper," – This seems to be a run-on
Also, "Japanese wallpaper,[110] The original stenciling" – should this be a full stop?
"The second floor also contained two squad drill rooms, which were decorated in Georgia pine and had sinks." – "The second floor also contained two squad drill rooms decorated in Georgia pine and had sinks.". Also, the additional information about sinks is just a bit awkward and trivial.

Just something I have noted so far: I feel the architectural descriptions are a bit chunky for some reason. Like the sentence structures are often: "The building's basement had a rifle range measuring 300 feet (91 m) long" or "The Company M room has oak woodwork, a fireplace, paneled ceiling...". Often it is "This room has this or that". It gets pretty boring and repetitive as I read through the article. Try to vary the descriptions more.
Thanks @

Continuing.
History:
"was organized in 1806" – would establish be a better term?
I might also mention its initial name before the current name of the regiment (would also do so in the article of the regiment too).
I have done this (as far as I can tell, it was known as just the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th companies, but were not grouped under a single name).

"The regiment helped control several civil disturbances in New York City during the mid-19th century, and it served in the American Civil War." – "The regiment quelled civil disturbances in mid-19th century New York City and served in the American Civil War." Might also make mention of what notable battles it was involved in.
I've reworded the sentence. I think it would be better if the details about the battles were covered in the regiment's article, since this paragraph is intended as a summary of the regiment itself.

"the structure's third floor physically could not support military exercises." – "the physical structure of the third floor could not support military exercises."
"The city government was also loath to fund repairs to the armory" – "The city government loathed to fund repairs to the armory." Unless I misunderstood the use of "loath" in this case?
"because of disputes over where they should meet." – "because they could not decide on a new meeting location". Avoid repeating "dispute" in the same sentence.
"The 7th Regiment requested in April 1896 that the New York Armory Board approve their request to install electrical wiring and lighting throughout the building.

Also, 4,500 lights... what? Light bulbs?
"when the newsletter Seventh Regiment Gazette wrote that the armory had been freed "from the incubus of dirt and inconvenience that recent alterations have entailed"" – I personally think this verges on pretty trivial information.

"The conservancy attempted to evict the Knickerbocker Greys from the armory throughout 2022 to make way for additional event space." – I guess the Knickerbocker Greys held their ground?
"From the armory's early years until the 2010s, most of its events took place in the drill hall." – would shorten to "Throughout the armory's history, most of its events were held in the drill hall."
This wording is specifically because many events during the 2010s and 2020s were hosted in the regimental rooms and officers' rooms, not the drill hall. I've rephrased this.

"took place every year." – "took place annually". Or the whole sentence could be rewritten as "The 7th Regiment also held annual athletic competitions at its armory since March 1882, including races and tug-of-war contests."
I half-wonder if a table of notable events would be sufficient than trying to list all notable events in prose. That is something I will leave at FAC.
This is presented as prose rather than in a table because it's not a full list (hence my frequent use of the word "include"). If I were to create a full list, it might warrant its own article.
