Good article?

@Kmwebber and Bryanrutherford0: You two have made some great improvements to this article. I wonder if you have plans to try to promote the article to Good status? ---Another Believer _(Talk) 22:10, 16 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I'm still working on getting it through WP:DYK ;) It's on a good trajectory, though, if someone is interested in shepherding it through WP:GAN later.-Bryanrutherford0 (talk) 22:32, 16 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Another Believer and Bryanrutherford0:, I just nominated this article for GA status, so all fingers crossed! Thank you both for the help and the encouragement with this article, it has been a lot of fun for me. All the best. Kmwebber (talk) 22:04, 30 November 2016 (UTC)Kmwebber[reply]

I have read the article and checked a number of sources, and would likely pass it upon review except for the lead section. It is not a good summary of the body of the article. The first sentence, which includes "...(MCC), is an organization that provides mental and behavioral health services for the LGBT community..." is no longer true. While founded as a mental health provider, the Montrose Center has evolved to provide a broad range of services to the Houston LGBT community, and the introduction should say so.--WriterArtistDC (talk) 03:55, 31 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
