"Myth"/"Legend"
[edit]The way these two words are used in the article seems to imply that it's not true the Windmill "never closed." However, the article on the Windmill says that with the exception of a 12-day period in which all theatres were required to be closed, this assertion is true. Is the suggestion that it's not true coming from that 12-day period, or what? This issue is unclear in the article. Lawikitejana 03:44, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
- I have cleared this up, based on the article on the Windmill Theatre. I know Wikipedia isn't supposed to cite itself as a source, but neither this nor the other article cites any sources for that topic anyway, so I felt at liberty to use the latter, pending either a challenge or (hopefully) the addition of a reference. I changed "myth" to "reputation", and added language to show that the "legend" bore substantial truth—i.e., that except for the above-mentioned twelve-day mandatory closure, the Windmill really did stay open throughout the Blitz.
