Talk:San Francisco Armory

message: : Although Kink.com has stated that its activities would be invisible to the surrounding neighborhood, La Casa de las Madres, a neighboring women's shelter, announced in late March 2007 that they would be leaving the location. The shelter had planned on moving from that location in 2009 when their lease expired, but stated that they would be leaving early because of Kink.com's presence.[27]
This paragraph seems to strongly misrepresent what has actually happened. The linked source is down, but archive has a version here:

This rather clearly states that the women's shelter moved only because of the amount of media attention king was drawing. I would claim that omitting that paints a rather different picture. This paragraph should be removed or extended. --Chronial (talk) 10:06, 18 February 2014 (UTC)

replies: text: Mission and 14th – pictures here. If you been to the Mission District ever, you've almost certainly seen it. I really need to add a maplink to the article, once I figure out how to do that. Hopefully, I'll get a better picture up at some point. (I'll probably have to take one myself – the ones on SFArmory.com are copyrighted, so I can't use those.) Peter G Werner 19:01, 16 April 2007 (UTC)

message: I'd be totally fine if you want to use pictures from sfarmory.com.  Thanks for taking the time to make the wiki armory page - its totally cool.  I love this building!  Pa74 01:28, 25 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks for the feedback. Note that because of your ownership of Kink.com and the building itself, you should definitely pay attention to the guidelines of Wikipedia:Conflict of interest and Wikipedia:Autobiography. Not that your contribution so far –  a correction on the construction materials of The Armory – presents any problem so far as I can see. I'd definitely like to use one of the photos from SFArmory.com for this article. I'll drop you a note on your talk page about that. Peter G Werner 19:35, 25 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Totally understood.  I am aware of the basic wikipedia guidelines which is why I refrained from making any edits other than correcting a factual mistake relating to the materials the building is made of.  I refrained from creating a page about myself for this same reason. Pa74 22:26, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

message: Google Maps at this page gives the street address as 1800 Mission St, San Francisco, CA 94103, United States. The street address also appears on the official sfarmory.com page. Perhaps the street address should be mentioned in the article. LeapTorchGear (talk) 21:22, 29 April 2024 (UTC)
