This is an article on New York theatres by Epicgenius and so, if my experience to anything to go by, is likely to be close to Good Article status already. I will start my review soon. simongraham (talk) 02:14, 5 January 2022 (UTC)

Comments

This is a stable and well-written article. 98.2% of authorship is by Epicgenius. It is currently ranked B class and was a DYK nomination on 23 December.

• The article is of reasonable length with 3,465 words of readable prose, plus a referenced list of notable productions and an infobox.
• It is written in a summary style, consistent with relevant Manuals of Style.
• Citations seem to be thorough.
• The reference "Landmarks Preservation Commission 1987" has no corresponding source.
  • I have fixed this. Epicgenius (talk) 13:34, 5 January 2022 (UTC)
• All other references appear to be from reputable sources.
• Images have suitable Creative Commons licenses. Three of the sixth images are provided by Epicgenius, which is a very nice touch.
  • Yeah... unfortunately a lot of theaters tended to have very few images of these. Epicgenius (talk) 13:34, 5 January 2022 (UTC)
• Earwig's Copyvio Detector identifies a 31.0% chance of copyright violation with the theatre's entry on IBDB and 21.9% with the Shubert Company's own website. The overlap seems to be mainly the listing of shows. Please can you check and confirm.
  • I have confirmed that the overlap appears to be mostly the titles of productions. Epicgenius (talk) 13:34, 5 January 2022 (UTC)
• "Nevertheless, as of 2021 the theater has been used to show the same musical, Chicago, since 2003" Reword.
  • Done. Epicgenius (talk) 13:34, 5 January 2022 (UTC)
• "However, the revue was closed three months later because it was "indecent"." Can you explain this any more?
  • I have added an explanation for the "indecent" quote, namely obscene language.
• "The stage was resurfaced with magnesium chloride in place of wood, and a partitioned control room was added." A link to magnesium chloride does not seem helpful. Is there a relevant wikilink?
  • Actually, looking it over, the magnesium chloride link seems to be correct (it is used as a de-icer and was also used on this theater's stage to make it smoother). I have added it. Epicgenius (talk) 13:34, 5 January 2022 (UTC)
