Blair Theatre

I've listed this article for peer review because it's a new article and it's been a while since I've done a major contribution to Wikipedia.

@Lekogm looks fine! I think what you've written is interesting and well written and for the most part well sourced. The images are also helpful. There are some things that you could do to improve the article:

• flesh out the lead section to better reflect the contents of the article
• expand about who / why it was constructed (as it is called Blair Theatre, made by Blair Enterprises, I am really curious as to who the original Blair was)
• some areas lack references, such as "Currently, the Blair presents movies and is a host for local community events."
• sometimes local organisations, such as Blair Center for the Arts Foundation, don't need a wikilink, although as we're not complete it's good you've made space for it.
• you could include some Wikilinks for terms readers might not understand (such as "While most of the work on the audience side of the proscenium", linking proscenium)
• some parts of the article are not entirely neutral (see WP:WEASELWORDS) - for example, "in order to offer more programming to the local community"
• a sentence is incomplete ("the Blair chose to temporarily close until. On")

Overall these are just some small thoughts, the article is quite good as it is :). Hope that helps! Let me know if you have further questions. Cheers, --Tom (LT) (talk) 04:40, 6 September 2020 (UTC)

@Lekogm: Hi. So I skimmed through it, and the article needs quite a bit of help:

• History of the Blair" → History
• Make the "P" lowercase in "COVID-19 Pandemic"
• Remove the subsection titles that divide the history section by years (Early 1900s, Late 1900s, 1980s, 1990s, etc.). It really disrupts the flow and also makes the TOC pretty big.
• Merge "Current programming" with the History section. This section is extremely short and doesn't need to be separated.
• Possibly merge "Restoration efforts" with the History section.
• Expand the lead. Some suggestions for the lead: mention how old the theater is, when it was closed, reopened, who built it, etc.
