• ... that Concert Grove in New York City's Prospect Park was designed for musical performances, which were later held at another location due to bad acoustics? Source: Prospect Park

• Comment: Created through Wikipedia:Meetup/NYC/Archives Week Wikipedia Edit-a-thon. The content incorporates a few sentences formerly in the Prospect Park (Brooklyn) article, but the new text is over 1,500 bytes, and should be a five-fold expansion over the copied text.

Interesting history, on good sources, no copyvio obvious. I guess "no link" to Prospect park is intentional? I like ALT1 best, and much better than ALT2. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:05, 25 October 2019 (UTC)

@Gerda Arendt: Thanks for the review. I forgot to add these links. epicgenius (talk) 15:45, 25 October 2019 (UTC)

• Hi, I came by to promote this, but I think you could write something less narrative and more hooky, like:
• ALT3: ... that Concert Grove in New York City's Prospect Park is actually a sculpture garden, since its acoustics were bad for musical performances? Yoninah (talk) 21:19, 27 November 2019 (UTC)

• @Yoninah: I like your ALT3. How about this? epicgenius (talk) 21:25, 27 November 2019 (UTC)

• ALT4 ... that Concert Grove, in New York City's Prospect Park, was converted into a sculpture garden because its acoustics were bad for musical performances?
• ALT5 ... that Concert Grove in New York City's Prospect Park is used as a sculpture garden because its acoustics were bad for musical performances?

• Thank you. I prefer ALT5. Pinging original reviewer Gerda Arendt to review ALT5. Yoninah (talk) 21:29, 27 November 2019 (UTC)

but not sure that we need the commas. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:18, 27 November 2019 (UTC)

• Right. Thank you. Yoninah (talk) 22:19, 27 November 2019 (UTC)

• @Epicgenius: could we tweak it some more?
• ALT5a: ... that Concert Grove in New York City's Prospect Park is used as a sculpture garden because its acoustics turned out to be bad for musical performances? Yoninah (talk) 22:41, 28 November 2019 (UTC)

Yoninah, that works as well. epicgenius (talk) 22:44, 28 November 2019 (UTC)

Thanks. Yoninah (talk) 22:48, 28 November 2019 (UTC)
