Concert Grove

  • ... 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
    • ALT1:... that Concert Grove in New York City's Prospect Park, designed for musical performances, turned out to be unsuitable for that purpose due to bad acoustics? Source: Prospect Park
    • ALT2:... that Concert Grove in New York City's Prospect Park contains busts of notable composers and other figures, as well as an abandoned Oriental Pavilion? Source: Prospect Park Handbook

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)
  • 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)
