Needs photo and an infobox

Perhaps the same kind of infobox should be added with a photo using the same type as the Whisky a Go Go. --Leahtwosaints (talk) 01:52, 11 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The Whisky a Go Go uses a {{Infobox Venue}}. For now I have placed a {{Infobox Theatre}} into this article (it could be switched to Venue). 69.119.24.98 (talk) 18:32, 11 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I will be reviewing this! The table, as usual:

General: Article is new enough and long enough
New enough: Long enough:

Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
Adequate sourcing: Neutral: Free of copyright violations, plagiarism, and close paraphrasing:

Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
Cited: Interesting:

Image: Image is freely licensed, used in the article, and clear at 100px.
Freely licensed: Used in article: Clear at 100px:

QPQ: Done.

Overall: Expanded by ~93k bytes, lordy that is a lot. Adequate length, at over 100,000 bytes (which is very impressive, good job!) Sourcing checks out. I don't see how POV could be achieved with an uncontroversial tidbit about a theatre, but looks good in that aspect. My Earwig isn't working, but knowing EG I'm going to AGF that there isn't plagarism, as their articles are typically high-quality. All 6 hooks are cited, and all are of interest. I personally like ALT4 more, it seems more "I want to read more!"-y than the others. Image is good, clear, and liscensing checks out as "own work". 2 noms done, since EG has over 500 nominations and DYK is currently in backlog mode. Great job, this is an easy pass!
