I finished the work that was started by others. I've cleaned up as much of the article as I feel I can, based on my own limited knowledge of DUMBA. Esrever 18:54, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
I'm 99.9% sure the play parties went on longer than just 2000-2001 -- through at least 2004? But I should leave it to an expert to change it on the page. - sparrow —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.18.214.204 ( talk • contribs) 02:50, 15 March 2007
After a review of this article, the following are items I've noticed that need attention:
-- Lendorien ( talk) 16:26, 13 January 2009 (UTC)
The play parties continued through 2006. The neighborhood changed, and the advent of internet social networking sites and the instant access/exposure they brought made it harder for DUMBA to continue having such parties openly. It was a way of life, and invariably brunches, art shows, wrestling parties, poetry and music events often ended up as play parties. The article describes Shortbus's sex scenes as hyperbole. They were not. I feel the article does not address the racial shift within the history of the collective and slights the activities and contributions of those involved from 2000-2007. DUMBA was a majority people of color queer collective for the last 6 years of existence. A handful of the collective members worked or where involved with POCC (People of Color in Crisis) and GMHC (Gay Men's Health Crisis) and where committed to fostering a fun, safe sex positive environment.
This was our landlord's petition to the court in the winter of 2006:
"The court can see that these people operate parties under a business name D.U.M.B.A. COLLECTIVE. These are run almost every weekend and people pay to get into the parties. The court can see that the sex offered is deviate sex, i.e. Lesbian and/or Gay. When they are running their parties they have tremondous (sic) loudspeakers that you can almost hear all over Brooklyn and these parties run almost to dawn. After the party on Monday morning you can see loads of empty beer bottles that is (sic) left over by them. I cannot say that they are running a house of prostitution because I personally did NOT see such activity. However, the advertising they do can certainly lead one to such conclusions."

The phrase "all-ages" is repeated twice in the article. What does it refer to, and why is it important? Totorotroll ( talk) 17:55, 29 July 2011 (UTC)
