Sheldon Theatre
[edit]
The front of the Sheldon Theatre from the northwest
- ... that the Sheldon Theatre in Red Wing, Minnesota, was the first municipally owned theatre in the United States?
Created by McGhiever (talk). Nominated by Jonathunder (talk) at 19:25, 25 April 2016 (UTC).
Easily new enough and long enough. No obvious policy concerns. Hook is within guidelines, cited, and reasonably interesting. Image licensing is OK, and image is clear at the prescribed size. The author has more than 5 DYK credits, but the nominator appears to only have 4, so QPQ is not required, by my understanding. I think this is good to go.

Almost all of the article was copied from this site (Earwig's Copyvio Detector results). Per the WP:DYKRULES, "DYK articles may freely reuse public domain text per Wikipedia's usual policy, with proper attribution. However, because the emphasis at DYK is on new and original content, text copied verbatim from public domain sources, or which closely paraphrases such sources, is excluded both from the 1,500 minimum character count for new articles".
