message: This article as it reads right now (Aug 20th) reads very much like a directory. I'm going to go through and see what I can do to clean up the page, which may include deleting some links. Older versions with the links will be found in the page history. --Daniel Olsen 04:55, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  [[WP:NOT]] a directory 

message: Which should be on top, the picture or the infobox with the map? I personally think that that a picture to associate the topic with with which to associate the topic is more useful to more people than a map. I'm changing it to have the picture on top for now, but I'm open to hearing arguments for the other side. --Daniel Olsen 05:37, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: Lead: The lead is informative yet brief. The overall briefness of the lead paragraph enhances the detailing of the rest of the article without sounding redundant. 
Structure: The structuring of the article is neat and concise. I like how the article touches basis on the social, geographical, and political/governmental aspects of the topic. However, I think the structuring might make more sense if the geography of location was mentioned first before the "People and Culture" section. By doing so, it can start from overall picture to more detailing through the demographics of the geographical location. 
Balance: The article seems to be well balanced in a sense that each section has a good amount of content. 
Neutrality: Overall the neutrality of the article is there. However, in reading the "Chinese Community United Methodist Church" paragraph, this could be placed into a whole new section as I feel it was a little bit off topic from the "People and Culture" section. This paragraph about the church could be named under a section such as "Influential Institutions" that were/are impactful on the community. 
Source Reliability: Source reliability is apparent. The use of reliable sources such as The Oakland Tribune and direct Oakland governmental websites were utilized throughout. 
Overview: Overall the article has great content. To reiterate, the only feedback I would address was creation of a new section, possibly called "Influential Institutions" to provide information of the interrelated institutions that helped Chinatown, Oakland either presently or throughout its history. The amount of content in each section is par level. However, under the "Education" section, the "Primary and Secondary schools" paragraph should be taken out if nothing is to be added into it.

People and Culture
-Look into mentioning common practices from all ethnicitys represented within the community "Chinatown, Oakland"
-enjoy how it is straight to the point with information under each sub-heading
-great use of built in links, check citations for information under each sub heading
Geography
-Citations

I know one of the sources will for sure work because it is a book, but the others one I am worried do not fit the Wikipedia guidelines although both are peer reviewed, credible sources.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gabbsterxoxo (talk • contribs) 08:42, 13 March 2018 (UTC)
