Undigned edit

The 17 November 2006 IP address-only edit is by me. I didn't realize I wasn't signed in. If anyone can tell me the appropriate way to remedy this, or whether it is important, I will try their recommendation. Stagehand 00:48, 22 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The Mecca Temple Bond

I'm not going to change it, because Wikipedia editors have to be "prepared to have your work ruthlessly edited." But I prefered having the bond image available under "See Also". (I scanned the bond and posted it that way.) I dislike having the "Bond" discussion duplicated from what I wrote in the "Bond" article because it does not belong in this article. But I also think the bond image clutters up this article and does not add as much as do the two images of the physical theater. Stagehand 20:04, 18 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:CClogo.jpg

Image:CClogo.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 04:45, 2 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Ballet Russe de Monte Carlo

Not Ballets Russes de Monte Carlo; but Ballets Russes without the de Monte Carlo is a different albeit related company. Robert Greer (talk) 22:32, 28 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

5x expanded by Epicgenius (talk). Self-nominated at 19:13, 6 March 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/New York City Center; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.[reply]

Recently expanded fivefolds, long enough, referenced, neutral and no copyvio obvious. The hooks are sourced and interesting. The images, both here and in the article, are free and clear. Just waiting for QPQ and other possible hooks. Corachow (talk) 11:48, 7 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- @Corachow: Thank you for the review and for your patience. I have now done a QPQ and proposed a few other hooks. Epicgenius (talk) 23:56, 10 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  - Thank you. AGF tick as one of the sources here is offline. As someone who wrote several articles about the New York City Ballet, I obviously think ALT7 is the most interesting (I don't like the phrasing of ALT6). I also like ALT3 through 5. ALT0 to 2 are interesting but doesn't tell us a lot about the purpose of the building. I think when people see "City Center" they don't immediately think of a theatre. But that's just me nitpicking. I'll let the reviewer decide which hook to use. Corachow (talk) 00:59, 11 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
