Talk:Queen's Hall

Sections

Hi, each section should be at least 3-4 paragraphs, having a separate section for each paragraph is a bit overkill. Division by manager might be a better approach, also the name of the hall should be avoided in section headings, and 'the'. HTH Kbthompson 11:53, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

Other uses

Why no mention of the hall's other uses? It was the venue for some important political meetings, though one would never know it to read this article. 81.145.246.223 (talk) 18:27, 22 July 2011 (UTC)

Will begin read through in next 6 hours.♦ Dr. Blofeld 11:43, 17 September 2011 (UTC)

Intro

• No infobox? How about one with a pin map showing location? Not essential but would help. At least say in the intro where the theatre was located.
  • I hate infoboxes, and avoid them except where they are compulsory. I'll amend the intro as you suggest. Tim riley (talk) 15:45, 17 September 2011 (UTC) Now done. Tim riley (talk) 08:03, 18 September 2011 (UTC)
• "The hall had drab decor and cramped seating but superb acoustics." This appears subjective.
  • These points are covered in more detail (with refs) in the main text. Tim riley (talk) 15:45, 17 September 2011 (UTC)

Construction

"In the centre of the arena there was a fountain containing pebbles, goldfish and waterlilies.[10] According to the conductor Sir Thomas Beecham, "Every three or four minutes some fascinating young female fell into the fountain and had to be rescued by a chivalrous swain. It must have happened thirty-five times every night. Foreigners came from all parts of Europe to see it."[11] At the top of the building, adjoining the conservatory, was the Queen's Small Hall, seating 500, for recitals, chamber-music concerts and other small-scale presentations. In July 1894, Bernard Shaw described it as "cigar-shaped with windows in the ceiling, and reminiscent of a ship's saloon … now much the most comfortable of our small concert rooms".[5] The hall provided modern facilities, open frontage for carriages and parking room, a press room, public spaces and bars.[12]"

There is inconsistency with full stops in or outside of quotes throughout the article. Please adopt a consistent format.

Excellent point. I'll proof-read carefully and amend. Tim riley (talk) 15:45, 17 September 2011 (UTC) Now done. (23 changes! whoops!) Tim riley (talk) 08:03, 18 September 2011 (UTC)

Second World War

Please wikilink St George's Hotel, dabbed appropriately. If its a red link I'll look into starting it myself.♦ Dr. Blofeld 12:10, 17 September 2011 (UTC)

Will do. Tim riley (talk) 15:45, 17 September 2011 (UTC)

I see you are ahead of me. I salute you. Tim riley (talk) 08:03, 18 September 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for these comments, all very much to the point. I'll take action as mentioned above later today. Tim riley (talk) 15:45, 17 September 2011 (UTC)
