Hello, I see that you have deleted the entire Production section for the article on the musical Clue (Clue (musical)). Is there a reason for removing this section? Do you plan on rewriting or otherwise restoring the material? Otherwise I plan on restoring the section but really would like a dialogue about this.Flami72 (talk) 13:25, 1 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The inclusion of a Production section is unnecessary, as the cities the production performed in are listed at the top of the posting. Furthermore, including subjective quotations adds no factual merit to the information about the show. An encyclopedia, even one online, should present facts not commentary. (added by Prodirman2)
Hello, Prodirman2. The editors who contribute to musical theatre articles have long considered a description of historical productions to be a required section. See WP:MUSICALS' article structure guidelines. The brief section at the top of each article is called the Wp:LEAD, and it presents merely a brief overview of the article's content. Then more detailed information is given in the sections below. For a good example of a musical theatre article, see Carousel (musical). That is the kind of article that we aspire to. The commentary of newspaper critics with respect to a musical are certainly of interest to readers. As you are a new editor here, I suggest that you read some of the WP:Featured Articles in your areas of interest to see what is commonly included in the best Wikipedia articles. Featured articles have been reviewed by numerous experienced editors and have been considered among the best in this encyclopedia. Generally speaking, deleting references to published sources is not a good idea. All the best. -- Ssilvers (talk) 00:56, 17 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
