Will be reviewing this article. Glad the AFD failed. Anyway, happy new year! GeraldWL 18:28, 31 December 2020 (UTC)

Thanks. You, too! ---Another Believer _(Talk) 19:22, 31 December 2020 (UTC)

Another Believer, same instances of wrong referrals in the body. GeraldWL 17:17, 1 January 2021 (UTC)

Gerald Waldo Luis, ??? ---Another Believer _(Talk) 17:21, 1 January 2021 (UTC)

Another Believer, for example, in the Description section, there is still "Yia Yia Mary's was..." GeraldWL 17:23, 1 January 2021 (UTC)

Gerald Waldo Luis, Sorry, I don't understand the problem. (?) ---Another Believer _(Talk) 17:28, 1 January 2021 (UTC)

Another Believer, fuck! I just realized I went reply-link on the wrong section. Was referring to the "Lead" part, about the "were" not "was" thing. Apologies. GeraldWL 17:31, 1 January 2021 (UTC)

Gerald Waldo Luis, I'm still not sure what the problem is, but I'll say I think it is ok to refer to Yia Yia Mary's as a singular business with two locations. ---Another Believer _(Talk) 17:35, 1 January 2021 (UTC)

Also, I plan to nominate this article for a review from the Guild of Copy Editors, so they may have some feedback on were vs. was. Hopefully the writing is good enough to meet GA status. ---Another Believer _(Talk) 17:36, 1 January 2021 (UTC)

@Gerald Waldo Luis: Actually, I've changed "were" back to "was". I think generally the article should present Yia Yia Mary's as a singular business with two locations. I've updated the opening sentence accordingly. ---Another Believer _(Talk) 17:39, 1 January 2021 (UTC)

Another Believer, you have to be patient in GOCE. They take the oldest nominations first, then slowly to the newest, which will become the oldest eventually. If you're really planning for GOCE, I'll have the was/were exempt from this GAN right now. GeraldWL 17:41, 1 January 2021 (UTC)

I'll give you a chance to re-read and do some polishes. GeraldWL 17:42, 1 January 2021 (UTC)

Gerald Waldo Luis, I nominate my articles for review at GOCE all the time and I am very familiar with the process. You'll see almost every single GA I've written has been reviewed. Not all of the PDX restaurant articles in my recent blitz have been reviewed yet, but I plan to nominate each of them as the queue allows. ---Another Believer _(Talk) 17:43, 1 January 2021 (UTC)

I feel very good about the current text. I always nominate for GOCE reviews even when I'm comfortable with what I've written, the extra eyes don't hurt. Please let me know if you have any other concerns for this GA review, thanks! ---Another Believer _(Talk) 17:46, 1 January 2021 (UTC)

Another Believer, if you think it's all good, then it's all good for me too. Greece has always been one of my favorite countries, so I feel energized reviewing this. Should probably join WP:GREECE. Keep rocking! GeraldWL 18:00, 1 January 2021 (UTC)

Thanks! ---Another Believer _(Talk) 18:01, 1 January 2021 (UTC)

Lead

• All good, although would note that with the length of the body, it could be perhaps stretched out a bit. GeraldWL 18:28, 31 December 2020 (UTC)
• Probably "were", not "was". GeraldWL 15:47, 1 January 2021 (UTC)

   Done ---Another Believer _(Talk) 16:34, 1 January 2021 (UTC)

References

• All good.
  • Like ---Another Believer _(Talk) 19:21, 31 December 2020 (UTC)
• Some of the citations were duplicate (i.e. "I hate banana.[1] Oh and chocolate.[1]" Perhaps remove the first and keep the last? GeraldWL 18:28, 31 December 2020 (UTC)

  I've double checked, cut one or two, and think citation spacing and use seems fine. ---Another Believer _(Talk) 19:21, 31 December 2020 (UTC)

  Another Believer, there are various cases, for example, in Description. If multiple sentences placed at the same place uses the same citation, it doesn't need to be cited at every sentence, merely at the end of it. So, for the dummy sentence above, it would rather be "I hate banana. Oh and chocolate.[1]" GeraldWL 15:50, 1 January 2021 (UTC)

  Ah, I see. I've trimmed further. There's now just one repeated use of Ref 1 but that's because there are 7-8 applicable sentences including some direct quotes, so I think displaying Ref 1 twice is ok. ---Another Believer _(Talk) 15:58, 1 January 2021 (UTC)

• Some are still not archived. GeraldWL 18:28, 31 December 2020 (UTC)

  Gerald Waldo Luis, I have not been able to get the "Fix dead links" tool to work for several days now... :( ---Another Believer _(Talk) 19:15, 31 December 2020 (UTC)

  I have link archiving on my "to do" list for this article and My Father's Place (Portland, Oregon), once the tool becomes available. ---Another Believer _(Talk) 19:23, 31 December 2020 (UTC)

   Done The tool is back! ---Another Believer _(Talk) 22:21, 31 December 2020 (UTC)

Description

• I would rather have the "wildly ecelctic" etc stuff be the reception of the restaurant, as opposed to the description. Move only if you think it doesn't break the sentence. GeraldWL 16:01, 1 January 2021 (UTC)

  Gerald Waldo Luis, I've generally always included commentary on interior/menu in the Description section and opinions re: food/service in the Reception section. I'd say the "wildly eclectic" quote applies to Description. ---Another Believer _(Talk) 16:36, 1 January 2021 (UTC)

• "Greek music played in the background"-- slang-y. Change it to, perhaps, "The restaurant also plays Greek music." GeraldWL 16:01, 1 January 2021 (UTC)

  Changed to "The restaurant played Greek music in the background." ---Another Believer _(Talk) 16:37, 1 January 2021 (UTC)

History

• Perhaps link noise reduction in "lowering the noise level"? GeraldWL 16:01, 1 January 2021 (UTC)

   Done ---Another Believer _(Talk) 16:38, 1 January 2021 (UTC)

• "The Yia Yia Mary's at Hobby Airport closed in May, and the Uptown restaurant closed in June." So perhaps adjust the Closed parameter of the infobox to "May and June 2020"? GeraldWL 16:01, 1 January 2021 (UTC)

• Add the Greece portal? GeraldWL 18:28, 31 December 2020 (UTC)

• Suggest adding Mediterranean cuisine. GeraldWL 16:01, 1 January 2021 (UTC)
