Yesh! Chinese restaurants!  Gerald WL  (Pine wish!) 11:21, 11 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Hoping this one survives the COVID-19 pandemic. So many restaurants in Portland have closed permanently, which is why I'm spending a lot of time lately documenting the local food, nightlife, and restaurant industries. :( --- Another Believer ( Talk ) 16:59, 11 December 2020 (UTC)
 * , man. Here, all restos are still open but with protocols-- although mom-and-pops don't really give a shit. The minimarts and night markets are the ones unable to keep stonk. Some days ago a flood struck the city, it's something I'm tryna compile before having it live.  Gerald WL  (Pine wish!) 17:26, 11 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Hoping things improve significantly in 2021. --- Another Believer ( Talk ) 18:36, 11 December 2020 (UTC)
 * , I'm not giving much expectations for next year. Just so that if things happen, my mental state don't get crushed again.  Gerald WL  (Pine wish!) 05:31, 12 December 2020 (UTC)

Infobox

 * Per this image, the slogan of the resto seemed to be "The House of Louie." Should that be included in the "Slogan" parameter?  Gerald WL  (Pine wish!) 17:56, 11 December 2020 (UTC)
 * , No, House of Louie is a neighboring restaurant. --- Another Believer ( Talk ) 18:13, 11 December 2020 (UTC)
 * , forget that!  Gerald WL  (Pine wish!) 04:52, 12 December 2020 (UTC)
 * , the official site states "Best Food, Good Food." Is that considered a slogan? Seems like.  Gerald WL  17:11, 13 December 2020 (UTC)
 * , I would prefer to see the slogan mentioned in sources. I'm not sure that's an official slogan, so I recommend leaving alone. --- Another Believer ( Talk ) 17:14, 13 December 2020 (UTC)
 * , sounds perfect. (Reliable sources, we're waiting for you).  Gerald WL  17:19, 13 December 2020 (UTC)

Description

 * The writer is "S.J. Sebellin-Ross," and the pronoun used is "they." Is the person preferring of a gender-neutral pronoun, or is the gender not identified?  Gerald WL  (Pine wish!) 05:13, 12 December 2020 (UTC)
 * I have no idea if S.J. is male or female, I went with the gender-neutral option. --- Another Believer ( Talk ) 05:52, 12 December 2020 (UTC)
 * "Chinese menu"-- only the "Chinese" is piped to Chinese cuisine. I suggest having "menu" in the pipe too.  Gerald WL  (Pine wish!) 05:29, 12 December 2020 (UTC)
 * ✅ --- Another Believer ( Talk ) 05:52, 12 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Link celery?  Gerald WL  (Pine wish!) 05:29, 12 December 2020 (UTC)
 * ✅ --- Another Believer ( Talk ) 05:52, 12 December 2020 (UTC)
 * You finally convinced me to eat 馄饨 after years of hiatus from Chinese food ([sigh] I'm such a disgrace).  Gerald WL  (Pine wish!) 05:29, 12 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Hah! --- Another Believer ( Talk ) 16:52, 12 December 2020 (UTC)

History

 * "suicide by hanging himself" Recommend linking to suicide by hanging.  Gerald WL : ⚟|[S   AO EU     G     HS] 07:42, 12 December 2020 (UTC)
 * ✅ --- Another Believer ( Talk ) 16:41, 12 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Link Mother's Day (United States) in "Mother's Day"?  Gerald WL : ⚟|[S   AO EU     G     HS] 07:42, 12 December 2020 (UTC)
 * ✅ --- Another Believer ( Talk ) 16:42, 12 December 2020 (UTC)
 * "Republic Cafe agreed to use the Chinatown Ambassadors." I would use "hire" or "work with" rather than "use"-- "use" makes it sound like a tool.  Gerald WL : ⚟|[S   AO EU     G     HS] 07:42, 12 December 2020 (UTC)
 * ✅ --- Another Believer ( Talk ) 16:42, 12 December 2020 (UTC)

Reception

 * "In 2010, The Oregonian's S.J. Sebellin-Ross"-- Sebellin-Ross has been described above, so here, I would rather only have it "Sebellin-Ross."  Gerald WL : ⚟|[S   AO EU     G     HS] 07:42, 12 December 2020 (UTC)
 * ✅ --- Another Believer ( Talk ) 16:43, 12 December 2020 (UTC)
 * "the sheer quantity " of food "are perfect"-- is the first apostrophe a typo? And what is the "of food"?  Gerald WL : ⚟|[S   AO EU     G     HS] 07:42, 12 December 2020 (UTC)
 * --- Another Believer ( Talk ) 16:45, 12 December 2020 (UTC)
 * "still considered delicacies". He opined:" Ref 3 is cited after "delicacies." Below is a quote box also using ref 3. To use only one r3, I recommend moving the quote box ref3 to after "opined:", and remove the r3 after "delicacies."
 * This is the only request I'd like to push back on. I'd prefer to keep the quote box and citations alone, worth keeping two uses of the citation for both of the direct quotes. --- Another Believer ( Talk ) 16:51, 12 December 2020 (UTC)
 * "He opined"-- suggest freshening it, change it to "reckoned." (many think that is not a real word but it is infact registered in Merrian-Webster.  Gerald WL : ⚟|[S   AO EU     G     HS] 07:42, 12 December 2020 (UTC)
 * ✅ --- Another Believer ( Talk ) 16:50, 12 December 2020 (UTC)

Overall
This has passed the GA criteria. Overall, as well, I'm enjoying reviewing GA more. Will try review more GA nominations of yours, and others. Go Portland!  Gerald WL  17:20, 13 December 2020 (UTC)
