Article has been 5X expanded. No issues of copyvio or plagiarism. All sources appear reliable. QPQ has been done. I personally like ALT5- surprised to learn that. The others are acceptable as well. Once QPQ is done, this will be ready to go! Thriley (talk) 21:51, 3 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Thriley, thanks for the review. I have now done a QPQ. – Epicgenius (talk) 03:04, 4 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@User:Epicgenius, Very good. All set. Thriley (talk) 19:51, 4 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Epicgenius: any chance ALT4 could be cited inline before I promote? theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (they/she) 01:23, 16 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Theleekycauldron: I think it was already cited, but I reworded this sentence because it previously said "has retained the same owner and name". It now says The Barrymore has been used continuously as a legitimate house and, unlike most Broadway theaters, has never been sold or renamed since its opening. The source is Botto, Louis; Mitchell, Brian Stokes (2002). At This Theatre: 100 Years of Broadway Shows, Stories and Stars, p. 290. Epicgenius (talk) 01:28, 16 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
