Style is too casual
Thanks for your expansion of the Palladium Ballroom article. The style you are introducing is, however, too much like a book or magazine and not enough like an encyclopedia. The lead section should immediately establish what is important about the Palladium, not go off on a tangent about the location, size and other physical properties. Down in the article body, you need to reduce the florid wording ("as fate would have it", "such was the buzz") and keep to the facts. And inline URLs should not be used for links. Wikipedia cannot be cited as a reference. Your heading "Enter Machito" should just be Machito residency or just Machito. Binksternet (talk) 14:52, 26 August 2019 (UTC)


 * You probably noticed that reverted your changes to the Palladium article. You will have to address the problems I described above before you start working on it again. It's a worthy effort but it must follow Wikipedia's policies and style guides. Binksternet (talk) 21:07, 27 August 2019 (UTC)
