Your GA nomination of Dumas Brothel

Hi there, I'm pleased to inform you that I've begun reviewing the article Dumas Brothel you nominated for GA-status according to the criteria. This process may take up to 7 days. Feel free to contact me with any questions or comments you might have during this period. Message delivered by Legobot, on behalf of Acroterion -- Acroterion (talk) 04:20, 25 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I haven't forgotten the GA review: major house renovation work has consumed evenings and weekends, I'll try to find an hour or two to re-review and to see if I can maybe add an architectural description. Acroterion (talk) 12:58, 4 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The National Register nomination for the Butte-Anaconda Historic District is available here [1]. It's 449 pages, so I'm working through it to see if it describes the Dumas. It mentions the red-light district as part of the central business district. Acroterion (talk) 02:01, 14 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

It doesn't, it's just listed as a contributing structure (p. 124 of the appendix, listed as 41 E. Mercury). It does mention the underground connections. Acroterion (talk) 02:06, 14 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Acroterion: damn... I'll see what I can dig up as well and reply back if I find anything. Thank you, --ceradon (talk • contribs) 02:16, 14 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The Dumas is briefly mentioned on p. 27 in several paragraphs, mentioning examples of other houses. Acroterion (talk) 02:19, 14 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Just throwing this out there: http://www.thedumasbrothel.com/ It's barely secondary but if you cut through the marketing speak, you can quote it verbatim in a {{quote box}} in the Background section. --ceradon (talk • contribs) 02:23, 14 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I was hoping to add something along the lines of "the brothel is a two-story brick structure with a raised basement. The first and second floors are pierced by a large light well or atrium, surrounded by balconies ..." All of this is eminently true, but it's based on my personal observation, and is not citeable in a Good Article. The website can't support such a detailed description. Acroterion (talk) 02:29, 14 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

https://books.google.bs/books?id=wfGPEX0PA3wC&pg=PA228&dq=dumas+brothel+balcony&hl=en&sa=X&ei=tbPeVMnnFsmXNrPugogI&ved=0CBsQ6AEwAA#v=onepage&q=dumas%20brothel%20balcony&f=false Check that out. I think that should do it. --ceradon (talk • contribs) 02:34, 14 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, I've added a brief description and moved the first ref up to that paragraph. I don't think we'll get much better than that until someone publishes a detailed investigation. Acroterion (talk) 02:45, 14 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I'll return to the article this weekend for a last review, but not tonight - it's been a long week. Acroterion (talk) 03:49, 14 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

BridgeCity album proposed deletion

The album BridgeCity is proposed for deletion.

However, I request it be considered to remove this proposed deletion by yourself. The album has been reviewed by a professional review site (New Release Tuesday) and its release was given coverage by a few professional music sites (like Jesus Freak Hideout). I've seen plenty of articles much worse off than this, with less coverage and sources to boot, yet they aren't being threatened.

RhettGedies (talk) 07:58, 8 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Got into an edit conflict with you trying to remove the PROD template. Either way, I've nominated the article for deletion. You're welcome to comment there. Cheers, --ceradon (talk • contribs) 08:28, 8 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

FAC note

Sorry, I have a couple of reviews going at the moment and won't be able to reply to your responses at the Malvern Hill FAC till tomorrow. I hope to go through the whole article again then. Mike Christie (talk - contribs - library) 01:58, 10 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Mike Christie: no problem. Cheers, --ceradon (talk • contribs) 02:00, 10 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Seemi Zaidi

Yeah I thought about putting a copyright notice up for Seemi Zaidi but since it was so short I was not sure if it qualified so I put a AFD up (which you can comment as a speedy if you like) Wgolf (talk) 23:35, 10 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Page Deletion of Peter Tan Organisation(PTO)

Hi,

You left a speedy deletion message on the page. As I'm new to wikipedia, is it possible if you could advise me on how I should change the content so that it will be acceptable for wikipedia's standard? Thank you very much! User:Juniaywq (talk) 11:13, 11 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Juniaywq: First, welcome to Wikipedia! Now, Wikipedia has a general principle for notability (or criteria for inclusion into the encyclopedia): "Topics with significant coverage by multiple reliable, independent sources are presumed to be notable enough for inclusion into Wikipedia". You can read more on that here. Furthermore, articles must be written neutrally. You must give equal weight to all viewpoints of a topic: "Articles must not take sides, but should explain the sides, fairly and without bias. This applies to both what you say and how you say it." In the Peter Tan Organisation(PTO) article, a piece of it looked as if it belonged in a Yellow Pages directory. Wikipedia is not a directory. As a final note, articles should use inline citations. See here for more information on that. I hope this isn't too much for you. Finally, I would recommend that you got here: The Wikipedia Adventure. That's a step-by-step guide through all the big stuff you need to know before creating articles. Go through that guide and you'll be well on your way to becoming an excellent editor. All the best on Wikipedia and hope to see you around. Cheers, --ceradon (talk • contribs) 04:09, 11 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you --ceradon (talk • contribs) 21:17, 12 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
@Barrettbaffert: when I said "keep the citations intact", I probably wasn't using the correct wording to convey what I was thinking. Please confirm that the information you added to the article is supported by the citations. If not, you should move the citations you had on the talk page to the article to ensure there are no referencing hiccups. Cheers, --ceradon (talk • contribs) 00:59, 13 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

12:11:33, 17 February 2015 review of submission by Peatar

Peatar (talk · contribs)
- Draft:GraphHopper (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Yesterday OpenStreetMap.org has included GraphHopper for bike and foot routing which shows the notability of GraphHopper. Although even without this GraphHopper is 'notable' as articles were written in jaxenter and the Java magazine from Oracle (!)

Please review the draft again, including the new references :) !
