The transept towers at Laon: do they look like the real design source for Riverside church's massive single tower? --Wetman 28 June 2005 09:45 (UTC)

Major Error: The photograph accompanying the article is of a building at nearby Union Theological Seminary and not of Riverside Church. The two institutions are across the street from one another so I suppose a visitor could make this type of mistake, but the Church's tower is many times larger than the one in the photo and is of a significantly different style. Two photos of the actual tower may be found at http://www.theriversidechurchny.org/content.asp?id=208, though they are too small to be used for the article. There are other images at http://www.nyc-architecture.com/HAR/HAR009.htm, but most are rather old and predate a large addition on the church's southern end. Hopefully another user will find a photo which is both large enough and recent enough to use.

Good call! --Wetman 02:01, 23 September 2005 (UTC)

• "...a center for the promotion of leftist and progressive causes..." I always wonder what the writer of such a phrase meant by "leftist" in addition to "progressive"— if anything much at all. Perhaps just a general sneer: not worthy of the better Wikipedia. Some closer analysis of Riverside Church's social programs over the years, touched on in the present article, would provide the reader more meat. --Wetman 12:19, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

• It is situated in Morningside Heights, Manhattan. It just is. Period. Please don't "correct" the neighborhood to fit your imagination. --Wetman 02:42, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
