Baffle gab1978 First, thank you for your copy-edits and taking on this article! Your changes have greatly improved the readability and composition of the page text. The only changes I would like to ask about is the following sentences in the lead and in the "Selecting the site" sections.
Lead:
Old: While this was the most expensive of the four sites considered for the Capitol, it was the largest, and the Commission concluded that it was the best location for the building.
New: The chosen site was the largest and most-expensive of the four shortlisted sites, and the commission concluded it was the best location for the building.
Selecting the site:
Old: While the costliest of the four sites, it was the largest, leading the Commission to conclude that it was the best location for the building.
New: Wabasha Hill was the largest and costliest of the four sites, leading the commission to conclude it was the best location for the building.
To me the new text reads as if the site was chosen because it was both large and costly. Where the previous text reads it was chosen in spite of it being the costliest because of its large size which is the case. Can the text be modified to reflect that? Myotus ( talk) 10:11, 19 October 2022 (UTC)
I went to consider reviewing this GA nomination as one of the older ones in the pipeline but had some questions about its sourcing:

I'll take this review, but I'll immediately put it on hold, as there are potentially serious issues that need to be addressed. Czar has raised some pertinent problems on the talk page; of them, the first is the most damaging. Is there independent, non-primary significant coverage of the "Construction of the Minnesota State Capitol" as a singular topic? ~~ AirshipJungleman29 ( talk) 16:17, 31 March 2023 (UTC)
