This week's article for improvement (week 7, 2022)[edit]

New article[edit]

Nice work on the new Tom's Restaurant and Bar article. Hey, they have an off-track horse and greyhound gambling room there between the restaurant and bar, or at least used to. Maybe this should be included in the article? North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 21:42, 15 February 2022 (UTC)

@Northamerica1000 Thanks! I've been obsessed with covering PDX's food and nightlife scenes lately. I dont recall reading about this in the sources already used as inline citations, but perhaps I've overlooked? If you happen to find mention in any sources, please do update the entry! ---Another Believer _(Talk) 21:47, 15 February 2022 (UTC)

Here's something from Wweek from 2017 (link): "With Rialto closed, the only place in Portland to place off-track bets—aside from horse track Portland Meadows—was Tom's Restaurant and Bar on Division Street." North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 21:55, 15 February 2022 (UTC)

@Northamerica1000 Ok, thanks! I've posted on the article's talk page as a reminder for future expansion. Working on other things at the moment but will try to revisit. ---Another Believer _(Talk) 21:57, 15 February 2022 (UTC)

@Northamerica1000 BTW, holler if you'd be interested in co-nominating this article for Good status in the future. I think with a bit more info about the bar and gambling (I see a couple other sources to incorporate after adding "gambling" to my Google search), this is fairly close to meeting GA criteria. If not, no worries, just curious. ---Another Believer _(Talk) 22:01, 15 February 2022 (UTC)

I added a bit (diff). I'll keep in mind what you said above, but I'm not very involved in the FA/GA process nowadays. I no longer live in PDX, but it remains one of my homes away from home. North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 22:04, 15 February 2022 (UTC)

Thanks! I understand. Perhaps I'll take the plunge solo, but feel free to follow along if you're interested by adding to watchlist. Either way, happy editing! ---Another Believer _(Talk) 22:06, 15 February 2022 (UTC)

Maybe I'll try to email you with some fun sordid PDX details. I don't like to talk much about personal stuff on wiki. PDX remains a party town, I'll say that much... North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 22:08, 15 February 2022 (UTC)

Hah, sounds good! ---Another Believer _(Talk) 22:10, 15 February 2022 (UTC)

Gimme a few days... North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 22:16, 15 February 2022 (UTC)

Portland Fish Market is another decent one. Thanks for creating it! The lead could use expansion, but hey, these things take time. Portland 2.0 is well underway now, and the rent and leasing prices continue to rise... erm. North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 23:10, 15 February 2022 (UTC)

Portland's reputation has taken a bit of a beating the last couple years, yet the cost of living keeps going up. During the pandemic, I created many articles about restaurants which closed, but fortunately I've been able to write entries about a lot of new ventures, too. Definitely a city in transition. I have some concerns about PDX's future but at the same time there's much here to enjoy. ---Another Believer _(Talk) 23:19, 15 February 2022 (UTC)

The very best Reuben in town can be had at Edelweiss Sausage Co & Delicatessen in SE, Brooklyn neighborhood. It may not qualify for an article, but it's the best in PDX! A close runner up would be Goose Hollow Inn's Reuben. North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 23:17, 15 February 2022 (UTC)

You mean Edelweiss Sausage & Delicatessen? :) I've been busy! ---Another Believer _(Talk) 23:19, 15 February 2022 (UTC)

Nice! Hey, they make all of their sausages and cured meats in-house there too. For carnivores and omnivores, it's a great place. Probably not so good for vegans and vegetarians, though. North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 08:27, 16 February 2022 (UTC)

Mama Đút[edit]

I enjoy reading your Portland articles when I drop in at the Wikipedia 50,000 challenge page. My son just moved from NW Portland to SE Portland and he says the Vietnamese restaurants are great!. Do you eat at all the restaurants that you create articles for? This one looks good! MauraWen (talk) 21:43, 23 February 2022 (UTC)

@MauraWen: Wow, thanks! I've received a little bit of criticism for creating so many articles about Portland restaurants, but I've really enjoyed doing so and learning a lot about the local restaurant scene (past and present). I'm so thankful there's such strong coverage of the restaurant industry so I can create so many interesting articles about local history and culture. I've not been to all of the restaurants, but I have a (very long) running list of restaurants to try. I've also made photographing interiors and exteriors of restaurants a habit, so I can improve Wikipedia entries.

I keep a running log of places I've been and things I've seen here, just for fun! I hope your son is enjoying SE PDX, which is also where I live. An Xuyên Bakery and Portland Cà Phê are great, and I've heard wonderful things about Ha VL and Rose VL Deli, which are both on my list to try soon!

Thanks again for the note. I've enjoyed seeing your contributions to WPUS50, too! ---Another Believer _(Talk) 21:50, 23 February 2022 (UTC)

BTW, I began documenting Portland's restaurant scene during the pandemic because I felt it was one way I could help a struggling industry. For what felt like an eternity, all I was reading about was restaurant closures. Now, finally, I'm reading about tons of new projects and business launches. Hoping PDX is on the upswing! ---Another Believer _(Talk) 21:55, 23 February 2022 (UTC)

@Another Believer: That is an impressive body of work! I really the variety of your work, and all great contributions. Don't listen to the critics! I should be writing more American themed articles (I find myself comparing American and UK wiki challenge numbers--we seem to be even right now), instead of all the UK articles I create. Maybe when I start traveling again, I can get inspired.

I like writing about a variety of subjects, currently it is archaeology, gardening and art. I am creating and expanding a lot of articles on the British medieval and Scottish prehistoric time periods. I also love gardening and realized a few years ago that Wikipedia had very few rose articles. It's my mission to find many new rose photos for Wikicommons, learn about the important roses and rose breeders and create articles for the general public. If you decide to photograph and upload roses to Wikicommons from your wonderful Portland rose garden this spring and summer, please let me know and I can add the roses to my do list (if I can find enough resources/references).

I am hoping to come out to Portland this summer to visit my son and his partner and see their new house and tour Portland's lovely rose gardens. Hoping to get as many photos as I can for Wikicommons. I'll pass along those restaurant names to my son. He and his partner also have been very supportive of the restaurant workers, they have been donating money and asking us to support those groups in lieu of xmas and birthday gifts. Take care MauraWen (talk) 01:02, 24 February 2022 (UTC)

@MauraWen Especially if you remind me when the weather's better, I'd be down to visit the International Rose Test Garden and take a ton of photographs. Gosh, I suppose there's a chance I might know your son. Feel free to email me if you prefer to continue this discussion more privately. Either way, happy editing! ---Another Believer _(Talk) 01:06, 24 February 2022 (UTC)

Hi! Would you please show me how to IABot? I don't get it :D --truflip99 (talk) 22:38, 23 February 2022 (UTC)

@Truflip99: Yes! Fair warning: you'll become addicted. :) Click on the View history tab of any article. Then click on the "Fix dead links" link. You'll come to a page which says, "Analyze a page". You should see the article title in the field, so go ahead and check the box for "Add archives to all non-dead references (Optional)". Let me know if you have any problems! ---Another Believer _(Talk) 22:41, 23 February 2022 (UTC)
