Hi, I had a look over your article. Nice job. This reminded me of a couple of the Category:Historical New York City neighborhoods. I have a couple of suggestions, though. The introduction should be a summary of the whole article, and really shouldn't have anything that's not also explained more fully in the body of the text. See Wikipedia:Summary style. So maybe you want to expand on a couple of the things mentioned in the introduction. Another thing is that the claims of the real estate developers are sort of casually dismissed, and that's not quite fair under Wikipedia:Neutral point of view. Is there evidence they had a legal claim to the land? Were the residents indeed squatters or not? This should be explained better. And please be more specific about "unique culture" and "unique traditions"; these could be considered peacock terms. Also, you might consider linking to articles like floodplain and urban renewal. Thanks for your article.-- Pharos 02:59, 29 April 2007 (UTC)
Hi David, I'd like to nominate your article to be on the front page of Wikipedia at Wikipedia:Did you know, but I'm waiting until you have a little more content. You don't quite meet the guidelines for "Did You Know" yet, which require that an article be a fivefold expansion of the existing stub. Let me know when you get a little farther along with the article. 1013-josh 22:23, 30 April 2007 (UTC)
Okay, Wilson has the Bohemian Flats book, so you should be in good shape. It looks like a history of the neighborhood that was written by the Federal Writers' Project in the 1930s, republished in 1986. It should be a good source for you. You may want to read about the Federal Writers' Project, so you have some context for who compiled the history. 1013-josh 17:19, 2 May 2007 (UTC)
hey david, I am trying to figure out some things you can do for me for your participation, so I guess you can really do whatever, you can rearrange/cut things in my article that may sound bad, or to one side(to accomplish a neutral point of view), or even just let me know what is bias to one side so i can fix it, and Im going to be writing another section on Marine Protected Areas, if you want you could find some good sources to add to article... so pretty much do anything I don't mind! And let me know what I can do for your article, I can do anything!! 1013- katie 21:59, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

Hello, 1013-David, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are some pages that you might find helpful:

As you can see, there is already a Category:Nature centers, where you can find other articles of this type. Most of the articles in it aren't very long, and as your professor says, it might be difficult to write a full length article just on the Dodge Nature Center. Instead, you might want to consider writing an article about environmental education centers (or "nature centers", or whatever you will call them) as a general topic. We also have a very short article on environmental education that you might consider expanding for your project.-- Pharos 04:20, 20 April 2007 (UTC)
If you're looking for a place to get ideas, you might check out Wikipedia:WikiProject_Biography/Core_biographies/Cultural_depictions_of_core_biography_figures. Wikipedia's biography project has identified 200 people as core biographies - people such as Napoleon, Albert Einstein, etc. - with an ultimate goal of prioritizing improvements to the site's biography articles of the most important people in history. I raised one of those pages to featured article status and in the process I branched off an "in popular culture" section into a featured list called Cultural depictions of Joan of Arc. A similar approach might benefit quite a few of those other core biographies. If this idea interests you, consult with your instructor. Best wishes, Durova Charge! 17:43, 20 April 2007 (UTC)
