The '''Pentacrest''' is a collection of five [[buildings]] on the campus of the [[University of Iowa]] — the Old Capitol, Jessup Hall, Macbride Hall, Maclean Hall, and Schaeffer Hall — on a four-block-sized [[parcel]] of land in [[Iowa City, Iowa]]. |

I have been maintaining this article since one year ago when it was basically nothing more than a list of films and basic personal information about Abbas. Since January 2007 I intensively worked on it and made it a comprehensive article. Then I aksed several editors from Film Wikiproject and several other administrators and native English speakers to help me with the copyedits, tone, format and language. User:Ernst Stavro Blofeld, User:Mtevfrog and User: Francis Tyers were most helpful. Copy editting is not finished yet. The size of the article is big which can be easily reduced by simply splitting out one of the longer sections (e.g. filmography). By all these considerations I believe the article is in status that a peer review would be very helpful. I am interetsted to know the status of the article based on wikipedia quality scales. Thanks in advance. [[User:Sangak|Sangak]] 21:34, 14 February 2007 (UTC) |

==Description== |
|||
The Pentacrest is the zero-point of the [[street grid]] of Iowa City. The axes are defined by Iowa Avenue and Capitol Street. The exact center is marked by the [[Iowa Old Capitol Building]], which was used as the [[capitol]] of the [[Iowa Territory]]. (The current capital of the state of [[Iowa]] is [[Des Moines]].) |
|||
The borders of the Pentacrest are Jefferson Street on the north, Washington Street on the south, Madison Street on the west, and Clinton Street on the east. |
|||
It is now a popular place to sled and piss. |
|||
==History== |
|||
The Pentacrest was not always the Pentacrest. Other buildings have been located on the site. The present configuration is a relatively recent one, that was established during the [[20th century]]. Calvin Hall once belonged to the Pentacrest, and was located where McBride Hall currently is. The decision was made that all buildings of the Pentacrest should be the same color, therefor Calvin Hall was moved intact across Jefferson Street and McBride Hall was built in its place. |

===Abbas Kiarostami===
I have been maintaining this article since one year ago when it was basically nothing more than a list of films and basic personal information about Abbas. Since January 2007 I intensively worked on it and made it a comprehensive article. Then I aksed several editors from Film Wikiproject and several other administrators and native English speakers to help me with the copyedits, tone, format and language. User:Ernst Stavro Blofeld, User:Mtevfrog and User: Francis Tyers were most helpful. Copy editting is not finished yet. The size of the article is big which can be easily reduced by simply splitting out one of the longer sections (e.g. filmography). By all these considerations I believe the article is in status that a peer review would be very helpful. I am interetsted to know the status of the article based on wikipedia quality scales. Thanks in advance. Sangak 21:34, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
