Material without sources

Hello: I see there are sections of content, especially descriptions of performances, that don't have sources attached. I'm wondering if down the road editors may tag the article, or sections will be deleted. I also see a discrepancy in the number of venue seats. There are quotes from various reporters throughout and I'm not sure of the rule here. I wanted to start a discussion about these things so that anyone interested in editing can improve it as best we can. Best, LeepKendall (talk) 16:23, 17 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@LeepKendall Thanks for collaborating here! I do not see any paragraphs which do not end with an inline citation, so can you be more specific? I recognize there may be an over-reliance on the Mercury's live blog (currently Ref. #11, used 20+ times), but I wanted to at least get a detailed overview of the program on Wikipedia for others to trim appropriately. I wasn't sure if I should be focusing more on the "notable" (from a Wikipedia perspective) people, who were actually mostly hosts, or the drag performers, most of whom are local. So, I tried my best to provide an overview but I am totally open to feedback and article improvements by others. ---Another Believer _(Talk) 16:28, 17 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there @Another Believer. I see what you are saying and see citations at the end of each paragraph (at least). I was basically asking questions based on things different editors have said to me over the years. I think this overview is good. I'm sure if editors come along who feel it should be trimmed (i.e., notable folks vs. the inclusion of local folks), they will do so. Thanks for all of your hard work getting this up and going!

Collaboration

@Megalibrarygirl: Hey, been a while! To me, this seems like the sort of article you might enjoy working on. Holler if you have any interest in collaborating, or wish to share any thoughts about the state of this article, just as a reader. No worries if you're not interested. Thanks and happy editing! ---Another Believer _(Talk) 16:31, 17 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Another note to editors: I've finished initial expansion, so this article could likely benefit from a copy edit. I'd submit a request here, but only two open requests by an editor are allowed in the queue. So, unless someone beats me to the punch, I'll submit a request for this article when possible. ---Another Believer _(Talk) 16:34, 17 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
