The Eagle in Amsterdam

- ALT2:... that there are over 30 independently-operated gay bars around the world that use the name The Eagle (Eagle Amsterdam pictured)? Source: NBC News
- ALT3:... that in 2007, a dispute arose between two Portland, Oregon gay bar owners who both sought to name their respective establishments The Eagle? Source: Willamette Week

Comment: Image probably only works if ALT2 is chosen as the hook.

New enough, long enough, neutral, well-referenced. Everything's fine on Earwig (impressively so at only 1% similarity). As for the hooks, I recommend ALT0 because it got an inner chuckle out of me. ALT3 is also pretty interesting. QPQ also done, so this should be good to go. Good stuff. Roniius (talk) 16:00, 12 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Illustrations[edit]

The gallery in the lead is getting large. What about adding a column to the table of bars so ideally we could illustrate many venues next to their respective details? ---Another Believer _(Talk) 02:30, 31 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Done. It seemed strange to have the Montreal Black Eagle as the sole interior shot, so I used it as the lead image instead. Morgan695 (talk) 17:43, 31 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
