I would have been shocked if you had only just in July 2019 created the article on the Coney Island boardwalk. You must've chosen the wrong entry in the template since the article was created by someone else in November 2008. And yet,
this was the article before you started working on it. Oy vey. It's the CONEY ISLAND BOARDWALK! One of the most iconic places in NYC.... Okay, I'll get off my New Yorker soapbox and review now.
Article is newly expanded more than five-fold. The article is well sourced, appears neutrally written, and is probably not far from GA status. (Honestly when I saw "Coney Island Boardwalk" here, I thought it was a newly promoted GA nom. Okay I digressed again...
Hook facts are validated by inline citations, and interesting enough. I'm adding a wikilink to
Edward J. Riegelmann in the main proposed hook. @
Epicgenius:, if you want to propose an image, I'll add the image review. Pending QPQ, hence the nom is not yet approved. –
