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)Reply
  • 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 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.

  • "... orientation to the street." - What does this mean?
  • 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).
  • "... installed corrugated aluminum on the bottom of the marquee in 1975" - what is a marquee in this context?
  • The first sentence in the second paragraph of the "Reception" section is too long and needs splitting.

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

Thanks! I hope I've addressed your concerns thus far. ---Another Believer (Talk) 17:13, 11 February 2015 (UTC)Reply
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)Reply
I will have another read through tomorrow. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 20:30, 14 February 2015 (UTC)Reply
