Revert unjustified

The revert of the section "The scene" is unjustified. See MOS:PUFF, and "neither imparting nor plainly summarizing verifiable information". Terms such as "flooded", "serious artists", "entice", "mecca" and so on, under the heading "The scene" qualify under that guideline, and "Articles suffering from such language should be rewritten to correct the problem [...]". This is a clearcut case. Charles Matthews (talk) 13:34, 6 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The plain truth is that the prior version is much more accurate in describing what actually took place during that period. Terms such as "flooded", "serious artists", "entice", "mecca" and so on, are actually factual; however it isn't worth an edit war...Modernist (talk) 14:42, 6 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

SoHo, Manhattan#Artists move in would seem to say it as well, with the advantage of references. Charles Matthews (talk) 15:36, 6 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, that's a good link; but it doesn't quite tell the tale. The explosion of enormous change that hell's hundred acres went through in the mid to late sixties and into the early 70s was absolutely and uniquely enormous. Rents went from nearly nothing - $50.00 per month for a large loft to nearly 50,000,00 per month for some similar spaces today; thanks to the artist explosion during the 1960s, that ignited a large scale mad dash for lofts by artists, galleries, dentists, doctors, stores, and everyone else who needed and wanted large spaces to live in and work in...Modernist (talk) 15:44, 6 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I'm putting in a details link. Charles Matthews (talk) 16:09, 6 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Gallery opening date, 1962 vs. 1963

I am finding conflicting dates (in RS citations) of the opening of Park Place Gallery, either in 1962 or 1963. I am going to do more research on this - maybe even try to find a month of opening if possible. I have added a note here in case anyone wants to discuss this further.

I am going to use the date "1963" since this is more commonly published and was used by the Archives of American Art at Smithsonian Institution.[1] Joojay (talk) 19:20, 14 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
