I am currently exploring the Cincinnati Music Hall Page and considering possible edits that could be made to the page. The first few paragraphs are fairly straightforward and provide accurate historical information. However, the ton of the writer somewhat reflects that of an advertisement that you would find in a real-estate listing or on a hotel's website. Additionally, there is a very strong emphasis on the belief that Music Hall is a haunted site. Although this is a popular belief, I believe that is overemphasized in the article, rather than focusing on the factual accomplishments and events that have occurred at music hall.

Diving deeper into the article, I believe several of the statistics and characteristics of the article are outdated. This is primarily due to the exclusion of information regarding Music Hall's 16-month renovation that was completed in October of 2017. Edits in this area include the number of seats in the main auditorium, the addition of new rehearsal spaces, and restoration of many historic elements. Currently this renovation is summarized in one sentence, while the debate over whether or not the space is haunted is given an entire section.

When looking at the basic facts regarding Music Hall, I have found that many of the simple numbers regarding the space are outdates. Especially, considering Music Hall recently underwent a major renovation. According to the page, Music Hall's main Auditorium, Springer Auditorium has 2,550 seats. This quote currently has no citation, and according to the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra's website and Cincinnati.com, following Music Hall's renovation the main auditorium now seats 2,289 people for symphony performances and 2,439 people for the Cincinnati Pops.

Cincinnati Music Hall

Area of Change 1: Reduce the size of the paranormal activity section. The anecdotes are unnecessary and many of the sections are repetitive. I need to go in and remove most of this section, and simplify the theories included so that they are more comprehensive for readers.

Area of Change 2: The Renovations of Musical Hall. Music Hall has actually been renovated many times, yet there is little information on the facilities changes and adaptation throughout history. I want to create a section dedicated to tracking these renovations and their significants.

Area of Change 3: The Music Hall Organ. Music Hall has long been known for it's distinct use of organs in it's massive Springer Auditorium. I would like to develop a section for music halls most distinct Organs and the destruction of these icons

Area of Change 4: The post construction history of Music Hall and the importance of adding this to the article in a constructive way.
