Sheer magnitude of this article[edit]

This might be the shortest Wikipedia article I've ever seen. Stub seems too high of a rating, but there we are. I'll see if more information exists on this event (which should be plentiful, actually). Thegreatdr 14:16, 24 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Changed the grade to start as enough information and references should be provided for that grade. Would like to see more information included, and perhaps one more related image, before giving it a B. Thegreatdr 15:57, 24 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Spelling[edit]

I see the Underwood and Underwood picture is captioned "Knickerbocker Theater," but it was the "Knickerbocker Theatre," not the "Knickerbocker Theater." See: http://blog.washingtonpost.com/capitalweathergang/images/1922policeline_web_std.jpg There's no doubt. Also, the first picture with the WaPo article in the Arlington/Alexandria Weekly section, is incorrectly dated January 28, 1922. That picture could have been taken no earlier than the following morning. I haven't seen those three pictures before. Quite the event. My mom's birthday, too.4.249.87.55 (talk) 05:55, 24 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I made the correction to the spelling again. It's theatre, not theater. Please look at the pictures. Someone will have to correct the wiki "Knickerbocker Theater." The title is wrong. Thank you. 208.103.155.149 (talk) 01:12, 20 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It is January 28, 2012, the 90th anniversary of the disaster. I am once again making the correction. "Theatre" was changed to "Theater" back in October 2011. Please look at the picture at http://blog.washingtonpost.com/capitalweathergang/images/1922policeline_web_std.jpg. The establishment was "Crandall's Knickerbocker Theatre." Thank you for understanding. 38.104.59.114 (talk) 21:36, 28 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

March 23, 2015: there's an article at Ghosts of DC, and it got the spelling wrong. The tag at GoDC has the spelling right. The links to the pictures at the Capital Weather Gang blog have gone bad, so let's see what a good one looks like these days. Here are two: https://thewashingtonsyndicate.files.wordpress.com/2010/02/1922knickerbocker_web3.jpg and https://thewashingtonsyndicate.files.wordpress.com/2010/02/1922policeline_web1.jpg. Really, people, it's not that hard. Best wishes. 152.180.6.2 (talk) 16:30, 23 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Book[edit]

The book that was just released is one of a series of books that I have seen at the Walgreens and elsewhere. They are local histories that are heavy on photographs. 152.180.6.2 (talk) 20:16, 28 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
