Recognition

This section is both small and seemingly out of place. At least in movie and music articles, reception isn't included until near the end of the article.
- True, but it's why the whole place is notable. I think having it right up front in some form is what will draw people in. I'm open to moving it, but I'm wondering if we have other restaurant and bar articles we can compare it to before I do so? --MTBW

Entertainment

Why isn't Ms. Spoonheim's actual name listed? [1][2]
- It was in the lede, I'll add it again in the body text. KRTV misspelled it, there is one "o" in all other souces (good find, by the way) ;-) Better? --MTBW
Is it worth noting that they've increased the amount of entertainment? It was just two nights a week for mermaids in 2006.[3]
- Another good find, I noted that the first mermaid was one in 1995. I think that adding that Missoulian article is a good idea. Hang tight and see what I'll have added in the next round of edits. --MTBW Follow up: Couldn't find a real graceful way to say "just weekends in 2006" and the company web site is not specific, so just stuck with CNN for now - though I am not certain they swim five nights a week always, and I doubt all six women work every night, I suspect fewer at a time, at least on weeknights. --MTBW
Are you able to confirm that the mermaids are also the wait staff? [4] This article says the reporter "recruits" their waitress to go in, but I presume this wasn't a one-off?
- I'd say no on this one - I kind of think that was a one-off for the Missoulian reporter. Nothing on it in current sources, though there is a photo of a mermaid holding a plate of drinks by the bar on the company web site, current material and sources suggest they are hired exclusively to swim nowdays,... --MTBW
Is it clear that the pool remains open to the public?
- It is, I don't know if we need to source that? (I did) I was in the bar a year or so ago - in the afternoon - and there was just a bunch of kids in the pool, swimming down to the window and looking into the bar. Montanabw^(talk) 02:53, 18 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Otherwise, what is written is good, just let me know what you think of the above possible additions. -- Zanimum (talk) 23:17, 17 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I like your ideas, sit tight and I'll fiddle with the article some more and then ping you when I'm done. Montanabw^(talk) 02:53, 18 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@Zanimum:, Pinging you - I've made some changes, added a lot of material from the Missoulian article, see what you think. Montanabw^(talk) 04:03, 18 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Good stuff, lookin' fine. GA! -- Zanimum (talk) 21:15, 18 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I am not doing a proper GA review on this article, but as a brief comment, the article as it is now meets my expectations of what a GA article for a place like this should be. If there are problems with it then they are not immediately apparent to me. Blue Rasberry (talk) 19:18, 25 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Congrats on the article's promotion! --Another Believer _(Talk) 20:28, 9 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
