This looks like a very interesting article. I have made some comments below. Best wishes Mertbiol (talk) 18:25, 26 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks!  Doing... ---Another Believer (Talk) 19:41, 26 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Description

[edit]
  • The first paragraph is a single, long sentence - the location in Old Town Chinatown gets lost at the end. I suggest rephrasing to "The Queen's Head was an English-style pub and lounge in the Southwest Portland part of Old Town Chinatown. It was opened in November 2021 in Ankeny Alley, a pedestrian-friendly zone with clubs and restaurants including Dan and Louis Oyster Bar, Shanghai Tunnel Bar, and Voodoo Doughnut.
  • I know that "coxhina" is the spelling used in the reference, but I think that "Brazilian coxhina dumplings" probably refers to coxinha. If you agree that this is the case, please link.
  • I have no idea what a "rose five-spice simple" is. Please explain with a link. Is this a reference to five-spice powder?

History

Transition to Pinq and closure

[edit]
  • I suggest linking "worker-owned cooperative" to worker cooperative.
  • Reference [9] (Andrew Jankowski (December 14, 2022)) says that The Queen's Collective ran the venue "between The Queen’s Head’s July closure and Pinq’s September debut". It does not say that The Queen's Collective ran Pinq.
    • I'm not sure I follow. What text changes are you proposing here? ---Another Believer (Talk) 19:45, 26 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
      • You have written "a worker-owned cooperative known as The Queen's Collective began operating the queer cafe as Pinq (sometimes stylized as P¡nq) starting in September". Reference [9] says that The Queen's Collective ran the venue "between The Queen’s Head’s July closure and Pinq’s September debut". Reference [9] implies that, contrary to what you have written, The Queen's Collective was not involved in running Pinq. Reference [12] does not mention The Queen's Collective. You need to rephrase this sentence to make this clear. Mertbiol (talk) 21:09, 26 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
        I hope these changes help to clarify. Thanks for flagging! ---Another Believer (Talk) 21:38, 26 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Is "Pinq acquired The Roxy's espresso machine" sufficiently significant to be included? I would remove it on the grounds that an individual coffee machine is not notable.
    • If removal is required to pass GAN, fine, but earlier in the article the prose mentions filling a void left by The Roxy, which closed in 2022. The article for The Roxy goes into more detail about the restaurant's connection to the LGBT community. Again, I don't feel super strongly about keeping, but to me this shows how one notable business in the LGBT community helped another, similar to how many restaurant entries describe which interior features were kept from previous tenants in the space. ---Another Believer (Talk) 19:48, 26 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
