Figure out this sentence

It was called by both T. I. Potter and his father/business partner Thomas Benton Potter, who envisioned the venture as the "Atlantic City of the West".

As it stands this is a pair of fragments; there is no complete sentence, leaving the verb "called" without an object. I can see a couple of different ways to edit it:

It was named by both T. I. Potter and his father/business partner Thomas Benton Potter, who envisioned the venture as the "Atlantic City of the West".

It was called by both T. I. Potter and his father/business partner Thomas Benton Potter, who envisioned the venture, the "Atlantic City of the West".

The second version leaves it unclear, though, as to who envisioned the venture, whether the elder Potter or both.

I put this in Talk because it isn't evident to me whether "called" is supposed to take "Bayocean" as its object or "Atlantic City of the West". Dismalscholar (talk) 20:31, 5 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
