thread_title: More information!

message: *I figure there should be a picture of the new LED marquee that doesn't have it displaying some cracker-white English band's name. :P If anyone else thinks the same and can find one in the public domain or figure out the other copyright issues before I do, go ahead and put one up! :) -Dan 04:55, 28 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: The Gorillaz aren't really "cracker-white."  They are cartoon characters, who are grey, yellow, brown, and green.  And the real-life artists behind them are black, white, and Asian.  You try walking up to Remi Kabaka or Del tha Funkee Homosapien and calling them crackers sometime.  X-D  But seriously, it'd be cool of you could get a pic that's a better fit.  It'd be even better if you could get some shots of the other renovations while you are at it, the front and the screens and so on.  This article could use some before-and-after photos.

thread_title: Different picture of the new marquee?

message: I've added the tags since there is a lot of information that has no citation -- the entire first paragraph of the History section, for instance. Much of this is name-and-date information that I'm sure is citable. --207.237.223.118 (talk) 16:24, 3 February 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Refimprove tags

message: I removed the tag. There are several events, but the only problem I see is that they aren't chronological. Is there something I missed? --Mtd2006 (talk) 23:29, 9 February 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Contradiction in Transformation and renovation section? 

message: I have removed the sentence "Akiko Wada became the first Asian to perform at the venue in September 2008" being that earlier in the same paragraph it mentions Yoko Ono had played there in 1972.Whotookthatguy (talk) 01:53, 16 September 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  Seriously, "Negro"? 

message: I'm about to fix the accompanying article, in the same way i described at Apollo Theatre#Hatnote. I suggest you respond briefly there, at least including a link, even if you feel your main argument on the issue (which applies to both pages) needs to be made on this talk page rather than on that one.--Jerzy•t 02:53, 21 December 2013 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: I think we need to add the :Template:Infobox venue as the lead infobox here, trancluding the landmark infobox within it, as first and foremost this building is an active performance venue, even if it is also a well-known landmark. In fact, I think that's the guideline, that a landmark Ed building's purpose comes first, and it's landmark status (which flows from its purpose) comes second. oknazevad (talk) 19:54, 3 February 2021 (UTC)
thread_title:  Infobox venue 

message: I noticed that you made a bunch of edits to this article's history section. Although I think your edits so far are generally good, I should say that, as an FYI (and for any page watchers who are interested), I've been rewriting this article in one of my sandboxes. I plan to be finished with that expansion in a week or so, but I'm just posting here so no one gets blindsided when I add the info from my sandbox to this page.

replies: text: Appreciate the heads-up, Epicgenius. I am most interested in the theater's generally ignored burlesque era, but look forward to your update. Plummer (talk) 16:40, 30 August 2023 (UTC)

text: I have now updated the article. Please feel free to make any (policy- or guideline-compliant) changes you see fit. – Epicgenius (talk) 14:58, 18 September 2023 (UTC)
thread_title: Article rewrite

message: One point that may need revising in the article is that Jules Hurtig - of Hurtig & Seamon - died in March 1928, of a heart attack while on board ship.  https://www.nytimes.com/1928/03/10/archives/jules-hurtig-dies-on-a-sea-voyage-theatre-owner-and-producer.html  Some of the text in the article seems to imply that he was living after that date - I don't know if the partnership's name continued in use, but as an individual he was deceased.
