• Oregon SHPO, has link to City of Portland inventory form. Valfontis (talk) 19:25, 1 January 2015 (UTC)
  • @Valfontis: Thank you. I added that URL to the EL section, since it does not contain much information on its own but is obviously related as an inline citation behind "two-story" since this is the only ref that describes the building as such. The inventory document, however, will need to be incorporated into the prose since it contains a lot of relevant information. When I click on the link, though, a document downloads to my computer. I wish the document were visible online, but since it is not, I will add reference info but without an active URL. Unless there is a better option? ---Another Believer _(Talk) 19:56, 1 January 2015 (UTC)
  • OK, I've added info from the source you provided. Thanks again for the great find! ---Another Believer _(Talk) 00:13, 2 January 2015 (UTC)

First reading

In general, the article seems well-written and laid out. A few points struck me:

• Tell me, how should the word "theatre" or "theater" be spelt in American English?

• I knew this was going to come up (and rightly so). It is confusing. See this link. In the US, at least in my experience, "theatre" generally refers to the art form, while a "theater" is a building, especially when referring to a movie cinema. However, you still see many buildings spelled with "theatre" if they host theatre (the art form), as opposed to movie theaters. It is very confusing and inconsistent. For this article, I used "Theatre" as part of the name of the building, but said "theater" when speaking about the building generally. This seems to follow what sources do as well. ---Another Believer _(Talk) 17:13, 11 February 2015 (UTC)

• In general the article use "theater" but in a number of places uses "theatre". You need to be consistent, at least in the prose you write, because I can see the sources vary.

• I only use "theatre" when using the full name ("Oregon Theatre"). I use "theater" throughout the rest of the article consistently. ---Another Believer _(Talk) 17:13, 11 February 2015 (UTC)

• I am not going to make an issue of this and your approach seems reasonable. In the two images, the name on the theatre is spelled "Oregon Theater" and yet the company that owned it at one time was the "Oregon Theatre Co". Maybe American spelling of the word has evolved over the last century. In fact I have just read the article you linked above and see this is the case. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 06:17, 12 February 2015 (UTC)

• "... orientation to the street." - What does this mean?

• Meaning the front entrance is directly accessible to pedestrians walking down the street. This was the same verbiage used in the source. ---Another Believer _(Talk) 17:13, 11 February 2015 (UTC)

• I think you should state the name of the theatre at the beginning of the main text (ie. at the start of "Description and history" section).

• Done. ---Another Believer _(Talk)

• "... installed corrugated aluminum on the bottom of the marquee in 1975" - what is a marquee in this context?

• I linked the word to Marquee (sign) for clarification. ---Another Believer _(Talk) 17:13, 11 February 2015 (UTC)

• The first sentence in the second paragraph of the "Reception" section is too long and needs splitting.

• Done. ---Another Believer _(Talk) 17:13, 11 February 2015 (UTC)

That's all for the moment. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 10:50, 11 February 2015 (UTC)

Thanks! I hope I've addressed your concerns thus far. ---Another Believer _(Talk) 17:13, 11 February 2015 (UTC)

Of course, take your time completing the review, but have your concerns been address so far? Just wanting to make sure there isn't something I should be working on right now. ---Another Believer _(Talk) 19:16, 14 February 2015 (UTC)

I will have another read through tomorrow. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 20:30, 14 February 2015 (UTC)

No problem! ---Another Believer _(Talk) 20:32, 14 February 2015 (UTC)
