BBC Radio Theatre
... that the BBC Radio Theatre (pictured) was equipped with a developmental Super Hi-Vision video system with 22.2 surround sound audio to show the 2012 Summer Olympics opening ceremony?Source: [1]
Created/expanded by MIDI (talk). Self-nominated at 13:05, 12 November 2019 (UTC).
Comment: Seems a rather boring hook to me - if it were me, I'd go with the sound leakage, or David Bowie & Ed Sheeran. Johnbod (talk) 22:49, 12 November 2019 (UTC)
Template:Ping New enough, long enough, QPQ present. No textual issues. I concur with Johnbod that a new hook is necessary as the other one (while meeting sourcing criteria) is rather dull. I actually would like to propose a different hook than either of those: Raymie (t • c) 07:55, 13 November 2019 (UTC)
- ALT1: ... that the Concert Hall inside the BBC's Broadcasting House was pressed into service as a dormitory at the outbreak of World War II?
- The new hook is a lot better (the original hook honestly read like an advertisement), it's just that the sentence that talks about it (the one that starts before the quote) doesn't have a footnote. This will be good to go once that is addressed. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 03:15, 14 November 2019 (UTC)
- Template:Ping I added a new invocation of that citation (same one as the quote itself has) since it's such a minor addition. Raymie (t • c) 06:23, 14 November 2019 (UTC)
Thanks. ALT has been verified and cited inline, the rest of the review is per Raymie. Good to go. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 10:38, 14 November 2019 (UTC)
- Works for me! MIDI (talk) 10:50, 14 November 2019 (UTC)
Hi, I came by to promote this, but the hook is rather vague about who the dormitory was for; it could have been a college dorm. Yoninah (talk) 20:46, 22 December 2019 (UTC)
- Template:Ping It's the source that's a bit vague, unfortunately, but the "main shelter for those on duty" part makes me think it was for BBC employees. Raymie (t • c) 22:18, 22 December 2019 (UTC)
