Hi, I'm looking to get some editorial review of this page I've drafted.@SmirkybecOisin.oreilly (talk) 10:30, 11 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Hi there, my first concern would be that there is information in the infobox which is not backed up in the body or by citations within the infobox itself.
Then in the body, what is a full comprehensive LGBT centre? The wording needs to be clearer. Was the fire an act of arson or accidental in nature? I think relevant when the article is focused on a marginalized group.
1996-2001 is unclear. Did Outhouse open in 2001 or was it previously operational?
Change the word incubated.
2012-2020 needs citations.
Is the chairperson and the CEO the same role?
Also I'm not sure where to check this, but I think Wikipedia typically uses just "LGBT" as opposed to "LGBTQ+". That said, I couldn't find a style guide to confirm, so it might be a non issue.
Sources seems mostly fine, but I would love to see consistency between "GCN" and "Gay Community News".
Hope that's some way helpful as a guide to start the improvement process for the article. Xx78900 (talk) 11:33, 13 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Do infoboxes require citation, not seeing them referenced for other LGBTQ+ orgs across the site?
I think the section on establishment from 1996 - 2001 is now clearer, there's a period of time where the organsiation exists but its not providing services as it has no premises etc.
The Chair and CEO are distinct and seperate roles in charity law in Ireland. Oisin.oreilly (talk) 20:01, 15 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Great to see you take up the work of putting this article together after Smirkybec's recent edit-event in Outhouse. I had been planning to go along to that myself. Welcome to Wikipedia, it can be daunting getting feedback and having articles being subject to the various guidelines, but overall, it's a constructive process. You might also be interested in checking out WP:LGBT, and possibly looking for feedback there too.
I've made a few edits to the references and altered to sentence case elsewhere (following MOS:JOBTITLE). The infobox should in general include information mentioned and referenced else in the text. Sometimes a reference within the infobox is appropriate, but there's no need for duplication. See WP:INFOBOXREF for more on that. Iveagh Gardens (talk) 16:16, 17 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Iveagh Gardens and @Xx78900 thanks so much for your input - I really appreciate it! I think I have addressed most of the issues raised, and some tweaks suggested by other friendly Wikipedians. Do we think it is ready to publish?
Hope to see you at another in-person event Iveagh! If you have any ideas or suggestions, just let me know! Smirkybec (talk) 13:18, 13 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
