ValkanasV's Feedback
I really appreciate how detailed you were in your feedback. You took the time to draw on a lot of the specifics of the restaurant. As far as updates or changes go, I would consider adding a "history" section. Since the business has been around for 25 years, it may be nice to note how the restaurant has grown since its opening (in more ways than just the recent remodel). Additionally, maybe offering some basic pricing information (not necessarily with numbers) would be helpful. I would also consider moving the line about the new bar menu into the "Menu" section for those who quickly skim the article only looking for menu information. I would also consider reordering the sections - I feel like Menu and Wines are more important than the remodel. Additionally, I like that you added images because it really made your article look polished and complete! Valkanasv (talk) 20:42, 7 November 2014 (UTC)

Zanezilla's Remarks Regarding Oceanique Article
As you probably know, your article has been recommended for deletion due to its lack of notability. I disagree with this recommendation, I think that it meets a standard that is just as notable as all the random stuff that's here on wikipedia (like random names of spells from 13th century occultism), and this article is thorough andwould provide valuable information to anyone from uptown in Chicago up to the Northern suburbs of the North Shore. I hope the article remains in place. For the rest of the review I will leave the question of deletion aside and discuss the content of the article.

In the first section I wonder if there could be a more aesthetically pleasing way to format your cite list instead of having references 2-->10 stacked up at the end of the sentence. Of course, there are a large amount of articles cited in one sentence, so I understand why you chose to use this format, but I would consider distributing the reference footnotes a bit more evenly throughout the sentence if at all possible.

Regarding "The Remodel" -- does their website provide any before/after pictures to visually demonstrate the effects of the remodel?

Regarding "Menu" -- Again, I wonder if they provide photos of the food items that could supplement this portion of the page (perhaps they could be contacted by a member of the group and asked for photos in order to boost their profile on the interwebs)? Additionally, I wonder if you could find any articles/info on what their "best"/"most well-liked" menu options are?

Thanks for the feedback! Regarding the long list of citations at the end of the first section, we actually only need to cite the 2nd and 3rd sources there. However, we are having technical difficulty removing the rest of the long list of citations without them disappearing from the reference list at the bottom. Any technical help with this would be greatly appreciated!

Teo (poetries)'s review
Unfortunately I agree with the user that marked this for deletion. While I have eaten at Oceanique and agree that it is incredibly delicious, it is certainly not notable enough for wikipedia. Simply being highly rated on Zagat is not enough to warrant the restaurant as a landmark of any kind and it lacks a history within the community that would make it worthy of recognition outside of the chicago metro area. I also noticed that it says it is near the Main St. Metra station. It's actually the Main St. El stop, not Metra. A critical reception section seems to be lacking and any citations that don't come from food reviews. Unfortunately also, Mark Grosz is not enough of a personality to warrant his own page or to bolster the credibility of the Oceanique article. Also, I question the inclusion of the phone and fax number... I'm glad to see such a visual layout though! Poetries (talk) 20:19, 7 November 2014 (UTC)

Prod
I removed the prod on the grounds that the restaurant has significant coverage in a major newspaper (the Chicago Tribune), not simply a local newspaper. The article needs major improvement, but I believe that a case can be made for its notability. Ian (Wiki Ed) (talk) 06:07, 8 November 2014 (UTC)

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks! Aciurcina (talk) 21:56, 14 November 2014 (UTC)

Problem
Our group has tried on several occasions to fix the in-text citations at the beginning of the article that cites sources numbers 2-17 for no apparent reason. It was a mistake from the beginning that we have been unable to rectify. Every time we try to move them it acts like we are trying to delete the sources altogether which would be a horrible prospect. If anybody knows how to fix this problemwe would be eternally grateful. Cierrajadell (talk) 03:40, 19 November 2014 (UTC) 20:34, 17 November 2014 (UTC) Wikipedia's software numbers &lt;ref&gt; footnotes in the order in which they first appear on the current page, more or less top to bottom, without regard to whether they were in earlier or later versions of the page. I've rearranged the references at the end of the first paragraph, so that the ones that have already been used before that come first. If newer edits causes the order to change, just re-arrange the later uses of that reference too, so it's in the order you want. On a related issue: It appears that, going all the way back to article creation, the references in this article have strange little short names that are just a colon and a number, like ":9" or ":17". Those labels don't need to be just digits, and giving them numbers like that don't affect what footnote number they get when looking at the live page. (I don't know if VisualEditor makes reference names like that when creating new pages, or someone is picking those number-like labels to tie into a list that the students have in class, or what.) Hope this helps. --Closeapple (talk) 08:46, 25 December 2015 (UTC)
