→End of the Line
I took the liberty of putting the GoogleMap and photo from the [[End of the Line]] article into an infobox template. I can revert if you don't like it. Also, instead of making external links for Wikipedia entries, you can also use the interwiki markup (e.g. "<nowiki>[[Wikipedia:Veganism|Vegan]] café</nowiki>" becomes "[[Wikipedia:Veganism|Vegan]] café"). This is preferred because it omits the external link icon that can make things harder to read. Finally, I didn't change it in the article, but I was surprised by your link to [[610 East Wright Street]]; I have ambitious goals for this project, but an entry for every address in town (or even just downtown) may be untenable. If a building has a long, significant history, but was never officially named, I would lean towards "naming" it for its most famous tenant, like the [[Trader Jon's building]]. Let me know what you think. Cheers! --[[User:Admin|Admin]] 09:06, 20 March 2007 (CDT)
*Yeah, I could never get interwiki to Wikipedia working for some reason. Thanks. I don't intend to add an entry for every address, just those with a history. If you don't like it, it's your show, so I'll go with what you say, but it'd be nice, I think, to have a place to see what used to be in a particular building. See [[610 East Wright Street]] now, tell me what you think. [[User:Wikipens|Wikipens]] 12:10, 24 March 2007 (CDT)
::I think the way you've got it is fine. I didn't expect a building like End of the Line's to have such a long and well-documented history. :) As for an official policy, let's say: if a building has a given name (like [[Seville Tower]]), a well-known colloquial name (like the [[Trader Jon's building]]), or a single-tenant history (like the [[Crystal Ice Company building]]), we should name them as such; otherwise, let's go with the address, like [[610 East Wright Street]]. Sound good? --[[User:Admin|Admin]] 13:24, 24 March 2007 (CDT)
