 * Thanks! Looking forward to collaborating and addressing any concerns you might have. --- Another Believer ( Talk ) 23:59, 20 April 2024 (UTC)

Initial comments

 * Never heard of The Leaven Catholic Newspaper before. Is that source reliable?
 * --- Another Believer ( Talk ) 00:41, 22 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Very nice Earwig report! Top result is at a 14.5% similarity.
 * --- Another Believer ( Talk ) 00:41, 22 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Reception section looks a bit sparse...
 * I've folded into the prose what I could find. --- Another Believer ( Talk ) 00:41, 22 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Not sure why a second image of the food cart is needed (especially when it is very hidden)
 * I think showing the environment in which the food cart operated is helpful context. --- Another Believer ( Talk ) 00:41, 22 April 2024 (UTC)

Lead

 * opened the city's first and only brick-and-mortar Guamanian restaurant in 2019 - What's it called? Really recommend adding the name of it here
 * ✅ --- Another Believer ( Talk ) 00:42, 22 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Link "Kelaguen Mannok" to Kelaguen
 * ✅ --- Another Believer ( Talk ) 00:42, 22 April 2024 (UTC)
 * visited the cart for
 * ✅ --- Another Believer ( Talk ) 00:42, 22 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Overall a well-written section. Immaculate!
 * Thanks! --- Another Believer ( Talk ) 00:42, 22 April 2024 (UTC)

Description

 * Weird... zip codes aren't usually three digits long. Also, the area code for Guam is 671, according to this page. - Oh wait, I am right! XD Source #2 states, The numbers "671" make up the telephone area code for Guam.. Source #1 doesn't.
 * --- Another Believer ( Talk ) 00:44, 22 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Wait, but now the Food Network source is inaccurate... shall we bring back The Leaven Catholic Newspaper?  TWOrantula  TM (enter the web) 00:47, 22 April 2024 (UTC)

Menu

 * reflect[ed] the culinary influence of the cultures that have collided there -> "combined several cuisines within the city"
 * ✅ --- Another Believer ( Talk ) 00:52, 22 April 2024 (UTC)
 * "Squirts of lemon" kind of sounds informal
 * --- Another Believer ( Talk ) 00:52, 22 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Link scallion?
 * ✅ --- Another Believer ( Talk ) 00:52, 22 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Willamette Week's Michael C. Zusman said the flatbread's dough had coconut milk and butter, "resulting in magnificent, char-spotted disks that are simultaneously soft, chewy and ethereally fragrant". - Sounds like an opinion, which should belong in the reception section
 * --- Another Believer ( Talk ) 00:52, 22 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Gotta love lumpia <3 (sorry, I had to)
 * Tails & Trotters page uses "is", even though this article states the restaurant is "now-defunct"
 * --- Another Believer ( Talk ) 00:52, 22 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Why is red rice quoted?
 * ✅ --- Another Believer ( Talk ) 00:52, 22 April 2024 (UTC)
 * "that give the monochromatic (but vividly flavored) dishes some acidic pop" - Again, you could move this to the reception section
 * ✅ --- Another Believer ( Talk ) 00:52, 22 April 2024 (UTC)

History

 * Link Western Culinary Institute
 * ✅ --- Another Believer ( Talk ) 01:00, 22 April 2024 (UTC)
 * had already relocated
 * ✅ --- Another Believer ( Talk ) 01:00, 22 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Why was the electrical cord stolen?
 * Because sometimes people steal things. --- Another Believer ( Talk ) 01:00, 22 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Link pop-up retail to "pop-ups"?
 * I linked to Pop-up restaurant. --- Another Believer ( Talk ) 01:00, 22 April 2024 (UTC)
 * PDX671 earned the judges' taste award at Willamette Week's annual Eat Mobile food cart festival in 2012. - Move to reception?
 * ✅ --- Another Believer ( Talk ) 01:00, 22 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Not sure why "Food of Guam" is quoted
 * ✅ --- Another Believer ( Talk ) 01:00, 22 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Same thing for "pop-up dinner"
 * ✅ --- Another Believer ( Talk ) 01:00, 22 April 2024 (UTC)
 * What's Feastly?
 * A restaurant. --- Another Believer  ( Talk ) 01:00, 22 April 2024 (UTC)
 * "[celebrating] indigenous Chamorro cuisine and the culinary influences from Asia, Europe, and Mexico that make it what it is today" - Wait, do we even need this quote? I can't think of a good way to paraphrase it.
 * That's why I kept the quote. Felt difficult to paraphrase. --- Another Believer ( Talk ) 01:00, 22 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Remove hyphen between "chef" and "owner"? Otherwise, put an endash between the words.
 * ✅ --- Another Believer ( Talk ) 01:00, 22 April 2024 (UTC)
 * The pop-up inspired the chef-owner of the Island Girl's Lunchbox food truck, who attended, to launch a similar concept in Salem. - Kind of implies the owner did attend the event. Recommend cutting "who attended".
 * ✅ --- Another Believer ( Talk ) 01:00, 22 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Was the person inspired to launch a food truck specifically serving Guamanian cuisine?
 * I don't think so, but I see this more as replicating the concept than the cuisine. --- Another Believer ( Talk ) 01:00, 22 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Guy Fieri visited PDX671 for an episode of the Food Network series Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives. He tried the Kelaguen Mannok, which he reportedly described as "simple, basic and dynamite". - Reception?
 * ✅ --- Another Believer ( Talk ) 01:00, 22 April 2024 (UTC)
 * reportedly described
 * ✅ --- Another Believer ( Talk ) 01:00, 22 April 2024 (UTC)

Reception

 * "insanely good" in 2017 - Clarify: Was the flatbread at its peak in that specific year or was it praised during that year?
 * ✅ --- Another Believer ( Talk ) 01:04, 22 April 2024 (UTC)
 * "quietly serves some of the most delicious food in Portland five days a week" -> "serves the 'most delicious food in Portland'"
 * ✅ --- Another Believer ( Talk ) 01:04, 22 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Kind of seeing a "said-called" pattern here.
 * I've moved two sentences down into the section, so hopefully this changes up the pattern a bit. --- Another Believer ( Talk ) 01:04, 22 April 2024 (UTC)

I'm interested

 * What's your process for improving restaurant-related articles? Currently I'm feeling pretty burnt out from video game articles, so I want to broaden my skills.
 * Come to think of it, how do you even find restaurants to write about?
 * Often from lists. For instance, List of Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives episodes, James Beard Foundation Award for Best New Restaurant and other James Beard lists, Lists of Michelin starred restaurants, etc. Also, I enjoy writing about restaurants I've tried! --- Another Believer ( Talk ) 01:08, 22 April 2024 (UTC)

I hope you feel I've addressed your concerns adequately, but let me know if any issues remain. Thanks again for reviewing! I enjoy collaborating and your suggestions/recommendations are helpful. --- Another Believer ( Talk ) 01:09, 22 April 2024 (UTC)


 * I have finished your GA review. Congratulations, and take care.  TWOrantula  TM (enter the web) 01:50, 22 April 2024 (UTC)
