The original article appears to have been pasted from http://www.cottageroad.co.uk/cinemahistory.php which is stated to be copyright. I have therefore deleted the plagiarized text and started again.Chemical Engineer (talk) 21:01, 19 December 2018 (UTC)Reply

Comments nice neat article, almost already beyond GA standard, so my comments should be taken in the spirit with which they're intended!

Seldom say this, but I think the lead para is a bit too big on its own. Perhaps split in two?
"newsreel cameraman" is a WP:SEAOFBLUE.
"Leeds Civic Trust blue plaque " likewise.
"being sold during" the point here being actually sold in the auditorium itself rather than the foyer which is commonplace now throughout major cinema chains?
Consider Category:1912 establishments in England?
Not sure there's a need for a link for motoring at all.
You could easily link Headingley in the lead.
"Charles Morris told the Yorkshire Evening Post that " newspaper titles in italics.
" sold-out showing of the James Bond film Casino Royale as " perhaps worth emphasising this was the 2006 version.
" Labour MP Gerald Kaufman" triple sea of blue.
"and families - according to " en-dash, not hyphen.
"offer an un-obstructed view " do you mean unobstructed by other patrons? (plus, I wouldn't hyphenate unobstructed here).
""Owen Brooks (1863-1947)," en-dash in that year range.
"About - Auditorium:" en dash again.

Trivial issues, I'll put the nom on hold while we discuss these. Cheers. The Rambling Man (Staying alive since 2005!) 14:49, 18 August 2019 (UTC)Reply

Thanks for the review. I agree with most of your suggestions and have made changes as a result. I see what you mean about the link for motoring, but I included, as 1905 was so long ago that I didn't want there to be any chance of misunderstanding by the reader ("did they have cars in 1905?"). Happy for you to remove though if you think I'm being too cautious. I also see what you mean about 'sea of blue', but I think the links are required and unfortunately there aren't better links e.g. a specific page for Leeds Civic Trust blue plaques.

I'm okay with the changes, I'd prefer not to see the seas of blue, particularly "newsreel cameraman" and " Labour MP Gerald Kaufman" (a triple), rewording to avoid these should be considered, but there's nothing in the basic GAN criteria preventing this from being promoted.
