When the clock strikes midnight...

Speedy deletion of Joan's on Third

A tag has been placed on Joan's on Third, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Misplaced Pages. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be blatant advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the guidelines on spam as well as Misplaced Pages:FAQ/Business for more information.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Misplaced Pages's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. - Realkyhick (Talk to me) 06:50, 4 November 2008 (UTC)

I have responded to the editors who have expressed concerns and am happy to address them with any rewrites or sourcing necessary. I hope I will be given a chance to bring the article up to Misplaced Pages's standards and to demonstrate its notability. Its not just a restaurant, it's one of the premier gourmet food stores in LA, a busy breakfast, lunch and dinner destination for gourmands, and a major caterer for Hollywood elites. Thanks.

Much, much better! Good job of fixing this article. - Realkyhick (Talk to me) 13:51, 4 November 2008 (UTC)

RE: Politics of Memory

I'm not sure what exactly your politics of history entails. But the politics of memory I though of had to do something we did in school. It was about Germany moving beyond the war generation. To some extent your "meaning how society and cultural memories are developed and passed on" would be right but it is not "epitomized by the saying 'Hisory is written by the victors.'" Would you like to work together on this? Of course we can incorporate both aspects as they both seem to fit, only definitionally differentiated.

ps- didn't know people read that page ;) Lihaas (talk) 07:37, 7 November 2008 (UTC)

I responded on your page Lihaas. I guess it wasn't hidden well enough? I notice it's at the bottom of the page now...  :) ChildofMidnight (talk) 16:23, 7 November 2008 (UTC)

A generous lad giving my marginable rewrite an award. Too kind! Thank goodness for a sliding scale

(And even if it is to be deleted, you still deserve this.) Kudos! Drmies (talk) 19:27, 7 November 2008 (UTC)
