Move?[edit]

Invisible theater → Invisible theatre — Most-common spelling for article titles. — DionysosProteus (talk) 15:48, 20 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
More specifically, consistency with parent topic, Theatre. 199.125.109.126 (talk) 16:36, 20 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Looks most like merely a UK/USA spelling dispute to me. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 17:04, 20 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- That was my first impression, until I noted that Theatre started out with U.S. spelling, and was eventually moved, and this article started out the opposite, with British spelling,[1] although named using U.S. spelling (Invisible Theater). All of the linked articles use British spelling. 199.125.109.126 (talk) 02:30, 21 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
-re is also used in every other english-speaking nation; -er is the less-common form. DionysosProteus (talk) 16:07, 21 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose any moves related to spelling variations, per WP:ENGVAR. Dekimasuよ! 14:14, 22 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Then, to be consistent, you ought to support the reversion to its original, most-common spelling. DionysosProteus (talk) 15:07, 22 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  - If the move was recent, I would agree with you, but it was 3.5 years ago. I know that the original title is considered in some cases, but here it just doesn't seem necessary to have a spelling argument at all. Dekimasuよ! 23:38, 22 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
When all the primary sources use the -re spelling, then that, following the most-common use principle, ought to be the spelling for the article. DionysosProteus (talk) 12:53, 23 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
No thanks we don't do silly moves like this, that's how we ended up with fixed-wing aircraft. ~ JohnnyMrNinja 18:30, 24 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The problem with that being...? DionysosProteus (talk) 00:24, 25 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Article appears to have a lot of opinion[edit]

The "Purpose" section is completely un-cited.

The "Common Misconceptions" section is similarly un-cited, but also includes much more opinion. "This is a gross mistake" is clearly opinion. Also in reference to the "Free Hugs campaign" it says: "This could be considered Invisible Theatre, as it is not a joke or a punk, but again as it has no basis in oppression it is not Invisible Theatre." this is again un-cited and seems to look like opinion.

What are other people's thoughts on this? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jackfifield (talk • contribs) 21:37, 4 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I have removed the opinion stuff, and added a referenced explanation of invisible theatre staged by Augusto Boal. I will removed the neutrality tag that was added September 2013 because of the uncited opinion in the article.--Peabodybore (talk) 15:27, 10 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
