Talk:Performing arts in Detroit

Editing changes
Perhaps the editor who keeps on making this change can explain why he is continuing to change what: a) was a perfectly good presentation; and b) was superior to the presentation he changed it to, as it is in a list of theaters from different cities. If he can't point to a policy supporting the change -- the one he first pointed to did not apply -- I would appreciate him not edit warring.--Epeefleche (talk) 07:23, 10 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Firstly, because there is no good reason to link to redirects in see also sections. Just link to the actual article title. Policy isn't everything. There something called editorial judgement, and I am exercising mine. Especially since "Los Angeles Theater District" is a lousy redirect; LA has multiple theater districts (most notably Hollywood Blvd), so redirecting it to one, especially one that hasn't been LA's primary theater district in decades was a bad call. oknazevad (talk) 18:00, 10 March 2013 (UTC)

"Second largest theater district"
The article states it, and cites a reasonably reliable source, but the claims seems a bit squirrelly to me and indeed a bit of nosing about turns up essentially identical, about equally well-sourced claims for Houston and Cleveland, here and here. Maybe by some one or another different measure these can all be true - total seats, total attendance, total number of theaters, total productions - but none of the sources explain what they're intending by the claims, and in light of the multiplicity of claims to the essentially identical station, I recommend removing the statement from this article (as well as any others, if they claim it there as well). Thoughts, please. Thanks. JohnInDC (talk) 02:24, 6 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Agree. It's especially bad when the citation is to a website promoting an individual city. This problem has been discussed in the blogosphere. For this article, I'll see if I can find an appropriate tag to ask for an non-biased source. 2602:306:C5B4:E3D0:BD1D:24C5:291D:C444 (talk) 01:43, 15 October 2015 (UTC)
 * I took it out. Lots of cities claim it, and I haven't seen any but one or two identify Detroit as an actual #2.  JohnInDC (talk) 02:27, 15 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Good. 2602:306:C5B4:E3D0:9DD3:379F:D263:E591 (talk) 04:22, 15 October 2015 (UTC)
