Talk:Outhouse LGBTQ+ Centre

Seeking Editorial Review
Hi, I'm looking to get some editorial review of this page I've drafted.@Smirkybec Oisin.oreilly (talk) 10:30, 11 June 2023 (UTC)


 * 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)
 * 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)
 * Great to see you take up the work of putting this article together after '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)
 * @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)
