  • Hi! It's OK to test things out, but I would only move pages within your userspace (ie, User:Jrnevans2018/sandbox to User:Jrnevans2018/sandbox2) when it comes to testing out the moving function. ReaderofthePack(formerly Tokyogirl79) (。◕‿◕。) 13:46, 27 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Hi! I've merged the two pages together, as it makes more sense to have a single article as opposed to two separate ones at this point in time. I've done some editing to the article as well. I've added material that was in the prior version of the article, as well as tweak the writing a little to merge it together and make it fit Wikipedia's style guidelines a little more. One part that I did remove was the statement "Unfortunately for Doc Webb", as this can be seen as a point of view statement. In other words, it's something that would be subjective to the reader and could also be interpreted as an opinion or judgement on the situation, which shouldn't be in the article. The writing isn't bad at all, but definitely be careful to avoid POV statements and casual writing styles, since those don't fit into the style guidelines.
Other than that, my main recommendation here would be to continue to flesh out the article by adding more sourcing and more about the general history of the store, as this will help give readers a better overall picture of the store. You may also want to add in something about the store's owner as well, since this probably impacted the store and its issues with the Civil Right's era in St. Petersburg. This could also use more sourcing to help back up claims. You don't want to rely too heavily on a single source, this this doesn't really show the depth of coverage that can come from using multiple sources.
