• What makes apops.mas.org a reliable source? The cited page says "Profile submitted by..." which makes me wonder if there's an editorial process.
• Re the "Special Theater District amendment of 1967"; is there a link? If not, would a red link be justified?
• "There were no new legitimate shows in 1974": what's a "legitimate" show?
• "Livent's revival of Voltaire's Candide opened that April": shouldn't it be "Bernstein's Candide"?

That's everything; looks in very good shape as usual. By the way, looking through the GAN page I see you have too old GANs under review that you haven't responded to in a month -- 229 West 43rd Street and Apple Bank Building. Since you've been responsive to my reviews I just wanted to check you hadn't forgotten about them. Mike Christie (talk - contribs - library) 14:45, 14 August 2022 (UTC)

@Mike Christie, thanks for the comments. I will address them shortly, but basically the apops.mas.org source is taken from a book published by the New York City Department of City Planning. There is no link for the 1967 legislation, and only a handful of theaters were built under that law before it was abolished. A legitimate show refers to a legitimate theatre production (as opposed to something like a concert or a movie). I'll fix the Candide thing soon.

Thanks for your concern about the other two GANs as well. I basically forgot the other two GANs, and I didn't even realize that it's been a month since the 229 West 43rd Street review. From time to time, I tend to focus a lot on some things and forget about others. – Epicgenius (talk) 16:38, 14 August 2022 (UTC)

OK on APOP and the legislation, and I see you've fixed the other two items. Passing. Mike Christie (talk - contribs - library) 17:43, 14 August 2022 (UTC)
