Copyright Violation Thoughts

I would submit that only the History section is a copy from the Olney Theatre Center website. The other sections are valid, if in some cases uncited sections. I put the original info box and took the data from such sources as the theater's web site, potomacstages.com (since defunct) and footlightsdc emails. Similar information is available from dctheatrescene.com, washingtonpost.com and theatrewashington.com (the former helenhayes.com. That much at least should remain as a stub

Edit Request: Title of Page

It is requested that an edit be made to the semi-protected article at Olney Theatre Center. (edit · history · last · links · protection log)

"Please change X" is not acceptable and will be rejected; the request must be of the form "please change X to Y".

Please change title of page from "Olney Theatre Center for the Arts" to "Olney Theatre Centre" (i.e. please remove the "for the Arts"). The name of the theatre is only Olney Theatre Center; "for the Arts" is not part of the theatre's name. Therefore, the name of the page is incorrect when compared to the actual name of the theatre.

Further request to please remove the "for the Arts" after "Olney Theatre Center" both in the first paragraph and above the sidebar on the right hand side of the page over the logo for same reasons listed above, and for continuity.

Request to remove sentence "Potomac Theatre Project, which offers experimental and alternative plays that explore provocative and challenging human situations, ideas and visions," (as that is no longer true - Olney Theatre Center is no longer working with Potomac Theatre Project. The Potomac Theatre Project left the area in 2006, as noted in this article: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/10/18/AR2006101800968.html) from the 3rd paragraph.

Additional request to change the end of the sentence of the third paragraph from "special school performances of mainstage shows; post-show discussions" to "special school performances of mainstage shows; post-show discussions; and theatre for young audiences."
