Little Hippodrome

The Little Hippodrome and its successors is irrelevant to the Hippodrome (aside from the name, but many, many theaters were called "Hippodrome"). I suggest making a separate article out of it. -- kosboot (talk) 16:41, 5 May 2009 (UTC)

Deletion of RS-sourced information

I would ask BMK to not delete sourced information, as he just did here.--Epeefleche (talk) 09:57, 22 February 2013 (UTC)

What is your sourced information? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Beyond My Ken (talk • contribs) 09:59, 22 February 2013 (UTC)

The footnotes that directly follow, and support, what you just deleted.--Epeefleche (talk) 10:08, 22 February 2013 (UTC)

And I see that, despite my request, you have again just now deleted the same sourced information. I would appreciate it if you would stop deleting the sourced information, and self-revert. Thanks.--Epeefleche (talk) 10:11, 22 February 2013 (UTC)

I have been warned by an admin -- as have you -- for edit warring, so I am not at liberty to delete your addition of "Hippodrome Theater", which has more to do with your insistence that the article on the Theatre District, New York should be listed as "Theater District, New York" than anything else. You are clutching at straws, trying to show that the theatres in the area use "theater" instead of "theatre", in spite of the fact that every single Broadway theatre uses the "-re" spelling", preserving an older form of the word. Instead of just accepting that, you've tried to show that the Mark Hellinger Theatre used the "-er" form (it did not, it was just a mistake in the Times) and that the Hippodrome (which hasn't existed for decades) might have used the "-er" form. The sum total of this is that you are pathetic. You can't possibly admit that you're wrong, so you're clutching at straws to prove that you're right, despite that plain fact that every single Broadway theatre in operation today used the "-re" form, as do the vast majority of off-Btroadway and off-off-Broadway theatres. You simply can't admit that you are wrong, and you keep on digging yourself a deeper and deeper hole. I don't know how you live with yourself, given your dismissal of plain and evident facts in preference to your fantasy. Beyond My Ken (talk)

I've only reverted you once at this article. I've left you, however, one clear edit summary and the above two clear talkpage messages asking that you not delete the RS-sourced information that you have repeatedly deleted. I now ask you a fourth time. Please self-revert your most recent deletion of this RS-sourced information here. As mentioned above, in response to your query, the multiple supporting RS refs are where one might expect to find them -- immediately following the material that you deleted.--Epeefleche (talk) 11:18, 22 February 2013 (UTC)

Blah blah blah, and blah, twinkletoes. Beyond My Ken (talk) 11:23, 22 February 2013 (UTC)

387px

Why do you think 387px is the perfect size for everyone, when we have dynamic sizing in place? --Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) (talk) 04:23, 9 August 2017 (UTC)

We have dynamic sizing, that is, anyone with a Wikipedia account does. The vast majority of people who use Wikipedia without an account do not. Beyond My Ken (talk) 11:43, 9 August 2017 (UTC)

Then why aren't you lobbying to have the default image size changed for people not logged in? Fighting over one image in one article for the masses "without an account" is just silly. --Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) (talk) 19:29, 9 August 2017 (UTC)
