[edit] Name issue
Okay, so when does this get referred to as Quark's Place exactly? When he gave the full name it was Quark's Bar, Casino, something, something, something really long. I've never heard Quark's Place used anywhere. --Schrei 07:52, 22 Sep 2005 (UTC)
- According to The Making of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, it was referred to as "Quark's Place" in early pre-production material (including the internal series production "bible"). However, it was referred to consistently in the scripts simply as "Quark's" (I have searched through the episode "SETS" lists and lots of dialogue for many of the episodes using the DS9 Companion Episode and Script Library CD-Rom). The practice of calling it simply "Quark's" was (as far as I can remember) maintained on screen, too. On the Promenade directory set decoration it was named "Quark's Bar". I think "Quark's Place" is wrong and probably not canon. "Quark's Bar" is better, but (in my opinion) is over-ruled by the consistent script and on-screen practice of using simply "Quark's". -Taduolus 18:03, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Length/detail
This article should be bigger. Quarks bar is very important
- I wholeheartedly agree, and I'm working on it! Expect a nice big juicy revision soon :o) -Taduolus 18:03, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
- Done! I've added a lot to this, but it needs copyediting and revision. Please edit and improve - let's make this article fantastic! -Taduolus 21:29, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Mirror Universe
It occurred to me today to add a section about the bar on Terok Nor (mirror). I don't think a separate article (i.e. Quark's (mirror)) is warranted, so perhaps just a section in this main article? Do we know if the mirror bar was actually callled "Quark's" (or for that matter, "Quark's Bar" or "Quark's Place" etc.)? Also, I know Nog (mirror) owned it in DS9: "Shattered Mirror", but is there a canon reference to Rom (mirror) owning it during DS9: "Through the Looking Glass"? -- Taduolus 17:27, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Nomination for featured article status
[edit] Quark's
This article has been undergoing peer review for the past month and a half (see: Talk:Quark's/peerreview), and all of the comments received have been incredibly positive. All posters of comments in the peer review also explicitly said that they'd support the article if it was nominated for FA. The article content has not been disputed, with all contributions for at least the past year simply being minor formatting changes or additions of extra information to make the article even more comprehensive. I think it's reached a point now where it fulfils the Featured article criteria quite nicely, and think it deserves to be an FA! – Taduolus 12:36, 5 April 2008 (UTC)
- Support - Ridiculously comprehensive and entertaining. Exactly the kind of thing we're looking for in FA.– Cleanse 13:09, 5 April 2008 (UTC)
- Support: Excellent article. My favorite was the section on the not-so-often discussed history of Quark's under the Caardassians. I do think we should add in the part about when the DSN9 crew, sucked into Odo's mind, have a dream that they are warped back in time and then perform work at Quark's. It might already be in there somewhere, though. -FC 13:50, 5 April 2008 (UTC)
Comment: Added :o) – Taduolus 15:47, 5 April 2008 (UTC)
- Support: As I said on the Peer Review, it is a great article. I also like all of the quotes at the top of the sections. Really brings context to the section. ---- Willie LLAP 14:13, 5 April 2008 (UTC)
- Support. Well done, comprehensive, informative, and organized. No question it should be a featured article.--31dot 20:10, 5 April 2008 (UTC)
- Support. Almost nominated it myself when I was fixing a minor spelling error a week or so ago. Definitely deserves FA status, for all the reasons listed above. - Bridge 14:47, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
- Support. --- Jaz 17:34, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
- Support beautifully written.--Long Live the United Earth 20:57, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
- Support. A great article and a good one for representing Memory Alpha. – Tom 12:01, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
- Featured. --From Andoria with Love 04:57, 16 April 2008 (UTC)
[edit] The Mural
I seem to remember that, in one episode, it was revealed that something was hidden behind the mural in Quark's. Did I dream this (lol), or was it actually in an episode? I could swear I watched an episode several years back where this happened. TrekFan 15:40, 19 June 2008 (UTC)
- Not behind the mural, I think, but in "Necessary Evil" there was something hidden behind a wall panel in a shop or storeroom off the promenade. --TribbleFurSuit 18:26, 19 June 2008 (UTC)
