COVID-19 closures

Does a subcategory need to be created for businesses that closed permanently as a result of the current pandemic? I'm not sure what to call it. "2020 Coronavirus pandemic permanent closures" is a mouthful. Maybe some subset of those words. --Lkseitz (talk) 07:48, 16 May 2020 (PDT)

  • I think maybe a list might be less 'junky' than a category, but I'm not opposed. --Dystopos (talk) 13:21, 22 July 2020 (PDT)

In The News

  • On the front page in the "In the News" section, there is an errant which is showing on the page. --Wheresdib (talk) 14:05, 24 November 2020 (PST)
    • Thanks for the small tip. --Dystopos (talk) 14:54, 24 November 2020 (PST)
    • And welcome back! --Lkseitz (talk) 07:13, 25 November 2020 (PST)
      • We'll see how long my return lasts. My new employer doesn't allow cell phones in the building so it feels like 2006 all over again. --Wheresdib (talk) 07:22, 27 November 2020 (PST)

Images from Wikipedia

Pardon my ignorance, or lack of memory. I am trying to fill in some of the missing images we have. I found an image of Mary McLeod on Wikipedia but I'm unsure if we can use it and if so, which template to use. See Talk:Mary McLeod for more info. --Wheresdib (talk) 10:33, 3 December 2020 (PST)

  • Any help on this one? User:Dystopos? User:Lkseitz? --Wheresdib (talk) 06:38, 9 December 2020 (PST)
    • Anything that's on Wikipedia is okay to use. Generally, the (CC BY-SA 3.0) license notification produced by using the "{{CC Image}}" template is compatible with photographs published under Wikipedia's standard GFDL license. In this case the creator has released it into the public domain, so the "{{PD}}" template applies. --Dystopos (talk) 07:12, 9 December 2020 (PST)
      • Perfect! I had looked but couldn't find what I was looking for. I knew there was something along these lines. --Wheresdib (talk) 08:55, 9 December 2020 (PST)

Creature

See the Discussion page for Creature. Is it still in business, if not, who is currently using their signage? --Wheresdib (talk) 06:38, 9 December 2020 (PST)

2007-2008 recession

  • Do we have a page which showcases the businesses closed or otherwise impacted by the recession of 2007-2008? There's a Wikipedia article Financial crisis of 2007-2008 ... Is it needed? I know we lost several car dealerships and related industries such as Southern Comfort Conversions, as well as Colonial Bank, Superior Bank, Nexity Bank, and others. Thoughts? Concerns? Issues? --Wheresdib (talk) 07:40, 18 December 2020 (PST)
    • Sounds reasonable to try. --Dystopos (talk) 10:21, 18 December 2020 (PST)
      • I found a comprehensive al.com article as the base. I'm going to name it Great Recession for now. It seems to be the consensus at least with Wikis and internet pundits. There's a Wikipedia page by the same name as well. --Wheresdib (talk) 10:34, 18 December 2020 (PST)
        • Did you notice there were already nine articles linking to Great Recession? Frankly, I thought I'd seen John create more of those links over the years, but I guess not. Oh, wait, here's a couple that link to "Great recession". I'll update those. Ah, and more for "2007", "2008", and "2009 recession"! --Lkseitz (talk) 15:30, 19 December 2020 (PST)
