Talk:Alabama Theatre

Untitled

I discovered the current entry was plagiarized from the Alabama Theatre web site. I have written a new entry based largely on a book published by the company that owns the Alabama. It's my first effort at a Wikipedia entry (and it's now almost 4:00 a.m.), so please feel free to improve it.

paramount-publix didnt exist in 1927

the article said that the theater was built by paramount-publix in 1927. publix wasnt even founded until 1930. is the retro advertising at work?07:17, 23 January 2010 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.147.195.17 (talk)

• Paramount-Publix is unrelated to the Publix grocery store chain. --Lkseitz (talk) 17:53, 26 January 2010 (UTC)

Page move on October 21, 2011

Alabama Theatre was moved on October 21, 2011‎ @22:21 by User:Postoak to Alabama Theatre (Birmingham). Alabama Theatre was left as redirect to Alabama Theatre (Birmingham). Why? Was it possibly to move Alabama Theatre (disambiguation) to Alabama Theatre, something that was not done for whatever reason?

I've moved the Birmingham one back to Alabama Theatre as being the primary topic. If not familiar, see WP:PRIMARYTOPIC. The Birmingham theater is the oldest of the three (built 1927), only one in the state of Alabama, it was a movie palace, it is on the Alabama Register, it is on the National Register of Historic Places, it has been documented several times by the Historic American Buildings Survey, and it is designated by the state legislature as the Official Historic Theatre of Alabama. The one in Houston was just a little better than a run-of-the-mill movie theater, built in 1939. It is not on any historic register. And it ceased as a theater in 1983. The Myrtle Beach one's claim to notability is that it is a live-entertainment theater, opened in 1993 and named after the county music group Alabama. Altairisfar (talk) 21:56, 28 October 2011 (UTC)

I screwed up in a major way. My apologies, I should have consulted prior to the move. I wanted "Alabama Theater" to point to the redirect page [1]. The city names were for consistency sake on the redirect page. Again, sorry if I caused harm here. ps. Incredibly beautiful theater in Birmingham. Postoak (talk) 22:33, 29 October 2011 (UTC)

No sweat, you didn't screw up anything. I just didn't understand. I apologize if I sounded like an ass. Altairisfar (talk) 14:42, 30 October 2011 (UTC)
