Talk:Hull House

message: Antonio "Tiger," 
Thanks you for your guidance and encouragement.  It was a worthwhile experience to dig up the data you suggested.  I leave you with a combined quote:--Dominick Candeloro, Italian Amarican historian and Martin Scorcese, Gangs of New York--"If we do not act now to preserve our history, it will be as if we never were."  And one final quote from a recent speech, given on separate occassions, to both the Fulbright Scholars and the Conference of Italian American Writers, "History should be told by those who live it."  Thanks again for your patience!  Vince Romano 11/30/08  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Vromano (talk • contribs) 17:26, 29 November 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Early thoughts

message: This article failed good article nomination. This is how the article, as of February 19, 2007, compares against the  six good article criteria:
:1. Well written?: The whole of the article needs a thorough copy-edit or two. The first graf in the first section needs to be rewritten, the sentences go on and on.
:2. Factually accurate?: It seemed well referenced through reliable sources.
:3. Broad in coverage?: Nothing about the building's architecture was included.
:4. Neutral point of view?: Was there no criticism of settlement houses whatsoever. This article implies that as fact.
:5. Article stability? Looked pretty stable, saw only two reversion since 2007 started.
:6. Images?: Were included and the ones there were pretty decent. Wouldn't mind seeing the entire house in frame, but that had nothing to do with the article failing the GA nomination.
When these issues are addressed, the article can be resubmitted for consideration.  Thanks for your work so far.

replies: text: The issues above were not even remotely addressed. This page has the architecture tag but the article says nothing about the architecture except in relation to the university. Which is very strange since it is part of the College of Arts and Architecture at U of C. I would fail this article if I reviewed it without a second thought. IvoShandor 16:26, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

*Referencing issues:
**Mission section (first section) is unreferenced.  Needs refs badly.

thread_title: GA (2nd nom) On Hold

message: All of my concerns appear to have been fixed.  Congrats on passing GA status! --Jayron32|talk|contribs 00:14, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: GA passed

message: I know that the Jane Addams Hull House Association refers to itself as such, but Addams and her contemporaries, notably Polacheck and Bowen, refer to it as Hull-House.  Since we're discussing the historic settlement house and not the modern association, should we make the change, or at least note the historic name? TychaBrahe 15:10, 17 August 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Hull-House vs. Hull House 

message: As part of the WikiProject Good Articles, we're doing sweeps to go over all of the current GAs and see if they still meet the GA criteria. I'm specifically going over all of the "Culture and Society" articles. I believe the article currently meets the criteria and should remain listed as a Good article. I have made several minor corrections throughout the article. Altogether the article is well-written and is still in great shape after its passing in 2007. Continue to improve the article making sure all new information is properly sourced and neutral. It would also be beneficial to go through the article and update all of the access dates of the inline citations and fix any dead links. If you have any questions, let me know on my talk page and I'll get back to you as soon as I can. I have updated the article history to reflect this review. Happy editing! --Nehrams2020 (talk) 08:55, 19 June 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: GA Sweeps Review: Pass

message: This piece, while politically correct is, by omission, historically inaccurate.
The story of Hull House is meaningless without noting the synergy that existed between Taylor Street's Little Italy and Hull House.  Taylor Street's Little Italy was the laboratory upon which the Hull House elite practiced their social theories and upon which they based their challenges to the establishment.  During the 1940s, 50's and 60's, the inner core of the Hull House Neighborhood was wall-to-wall Italian American emigrants and their first generation offspring. Ditto for the Bowen Country Club, the Hull House Summer Camp. 
Floence Scala pointed to the Hull House Mob as the culprits who sold out the neighborhood when it was dismantled and demolished for the financial benefit of insiders. 
Want an fuller and more honest undertanding of Hull House?  Turn to the Taylor Street Archive site.  Written by someone who attended Hull House and the Bowen Country Club while growing up in Little Italy.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Vromano (talk • contribs) 16:56, 14 September 2008 (UTC)

message: ,
I see that there is a tag on the article about not have any inclusion criteria that was added by. My thought is: they have to have some WP:Notability to have become a Wikipedia article - and - to make it into the list, they have to have used services or have been a resident of Hull House. I would be happy to check to ensure each of the linked articles mention the Hull House connection.
Is there something else that you think is needed?–CaroleHenson (talk) 16:07, 5 August 2023 (UTC)

replies: text: I am finding that most of the people worked at Hull House, so I have created two groups - founders and staff - and resident or non-resident affiliation. I have also removed the  tag.–CaroleHenson (talk) 17:24, 5 August 2023 (UTC)
