Location of old Booth's Theatre

It was at 23rd Street and 6th Avenue, the SE corner -- not the site of the present Booth Theatre. Vzeebjtf (talk) 07:20, 30 September 2013 (UTC) Description on image page is confusing about this. Vzeebjtf (talk) 07:22, 30 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Fixed. Vzeebjtf (talk) 07:20, 1 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- Comment: ALT3 and ALT4 are combinations with another double hook, Template:Did you know nominations/Gerald Schoenfeld Theatre. If none of these are satisfactory, I can propose singular hooks for all of the articles.

5x expanded by Epicgenius (talk). Self-nominated at 23:02, 1 February 2022 (UTC).[reply]

Epicgenius, do you have another QPQ in progress? I'd like to review all four of these articles when the QPQs are ready. Cheers. Flibirigit (talk) 23:53, 3 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- I do actually have five QPQs in progress (three for this nom and two for upcoming noms). These should be done within the next day. Thanks for the heads up. Epicgenius (talk) 01:41, 4 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  - Great, will complete the reviews by the end of the weekend. Flibirigit (talk) 17:49, 4 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Review of Shubert Theatre (Broadway)

. Article's prose was expanded more than fivefold on January 30 and nominated within seven days. Length is adequate. Sourcing is great except for one concern: In the "Construction" section, the quote "new New Theatre" needs a citation directly after the sentence. Article is neutral in tone and no plagiarism concerns were found. All images used in the article are freely licensed on the Commons. QPQ requirement is complete. I will analyze the hooks once I have reviewed all four of the articles for DYK policy. I suggest adding Template:Currency to the "Box office record" section.

Review of Booth Theatre

. Article's prose was expanded more than fivefold on January 31 and nominated within seven days. Length is adequate. Sourcing is great except for a couple minors concerns: In the "45th Street" section, the words "The Booth Theatre" in quotation marks should probably have a citation directly after the sentence. In the "Construction" section, the quote "new New Theatre" needs a citation directly after the sentence. Article is neutral in tone and no plagiarism concerns were found. All images used in the article are freely licensed on the Commons, although the image File:The Booth Theater.jpg is tagged for insufficient copyright information. QPQ requirement is complete. I will analyze the hooks once I have reviewed all four of the articles for DYK policy. I suggest adding Template:Currency to the "Box office record" section.

Review of hooks

I will take a break and do the hooks after lunch today. Flibirigit (talk) 13:52, 5 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Question: . All five of the hooks are interestng, and properly mentioned in each article. ALT2 needs a citation directly at the end of the source sentence as mentioned above. I will assume good faith for the sources which I do not have access to. Minor concerns are noted above on this nomination. Overall approval of this nomination and Template:Did you know nominations/Gerald Schoenfeld Theatre, is pending the above. Thanks for the job well done on these articles. Flibirigit (talk) 16:25, 5 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Flibirigit: Thanks for the reviews of both nominations and the hooks for the all four articles. I've addressed all the above issues. Epicgenius (talk) 23:49, 5 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Articles now adhere to all DYK criteria. All five hooks are approved as per my review above. Flibirigit (talk) 23:59, 5 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
