This article is incredibly bloated

[edit]

Not to sound rude or dismissive to whoever has put this much work into the article, but the amount of detail is so overwhelming that I would not be surprised if it stopped people reading anything. It put me off. I didn't know where to start. So I read the synopsis at the start and then left the page.

To put my point in context, the word count for the "Hulme Hippodrome" wikipedia page is around 25,000 words. The word count for the wikipedia page for "Manchester" is 18,000.

I copied the article into Microsoft Word to get a word count and it filled almost 100 pages... the sheer amount of information will have the opposite effect intended: people won't read it, and they won't learn about the building (which is the point of the article I imagine?).

Consider a much briefer article, with links to further reading if desired. 2A02:C7C:C03:E00:F928:3F2E:6BAD:4790 (talk) 21:40, 4 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
