Harvard Square Theatre is spelled Theatre, not Theater

To whoever changed "theatre" to "theater": The Harvard Square Theatre is spelled Theatre, not Theater. Please leave it as "theatre" as if it was etched in stone. Oh! It WAS etched in stone! — Preceding unsigned comment added by AdderUser (talk • contribs) 04:41, 12 July 2017 (UTC)

@AdderUser: Please do not add non-free content to article talk pages. Such a thing is not allowed per Wikipedia's non-free content use policy. Also, please do not upload non-free images soley for use on article talk pages since non-free content is required to be used in at least one article per WP:NFCC#7 and those which are not will eventually be deleted per WP:F5. Instead of uploading a file, all you really need to do for discussion is provide a link to the article showing the correct spelling. If you want to add this information to the article you can add a citation to the same website near the relevant article content as explained in WP:REFB. This is the best way to show that reliable sources are referring to it as "theatre". Just for reference, there is no way to prevent others from editing the article, but adding a citation will make it much easier for others to verify the correctness of a particular change.

Finally, please try and remember to sign your talk page posts because it will make it easier for other to see who added the post. -- Marchjuly (talk) 01:24, 12 July 2017 (UTC)

Good points. I thought the picture was fair use and checked that box. I'm no expert at wiki-stuff but try to help when I can. I usually add my sig but it took so long to figure out how to attach an image, that I was rushed and forgot. Here is a link to a photograph showing the correct spelling of Harvard Square Theatre: WBUR Legacy pages with photos showing the proper spelling of Harvard Square Theatre.

Not a big deal. Non-free content is Wikipedia's tweak on fair use and it tends to be more restrictive with respect to how such images may be used. The file will likely be deleted per WP:F5 if it's not added to an article; so, if you intend to use the picture in this article then you will need to show how its use meets all ten non-free content criteria listed in WP:NFCCP in the file's non-free use rationale. The hardest ones to meet in this case are most likely going to be WP:NFCC#1 and WP:NFCC#8. If the theatre is no longer standing, a new photo cannot be taken for obvious reasons; however, this does not automatically preclude finding an exisiting photo which is already or may become freeley licensed. NFCC#8 has to do with the contextual significance of the photo, and I'm afraid you're probably going to need something more than just "theatre" vs. "theater" to meet that criterion. -- Marchjuly (talk) 07:40, 12 July 2017 (UTC)
