==Name issue==
I've put a lot of work into this article since March 2007, and am pretty much solely responsible for how it looks today. It's quite long and very detailed, and I'm quite proud of the work. But it would be great to get some community involvement and feedback through Peer Review. If you have any comments, suggestions or criticisms, I'd love to hear them. Thanks! -- [[User:Taduolus|Taduolus]] 21:15, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

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. --[[User:Schrei|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 [[Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Companion (CD)|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". -[[User:Taduolus|Taduolus]] 18:03, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

:It's very complete and entertaining. I love all the quotes, and this comment: "Quark was evidently able to use the donations of his friends to rekindle enough business to obtain exact replacements of all of the furniture, fixtures and fittings that had been removed by the FCA, as the bar had returned to its familiar appearance by the next time it was seen (in season 5's "Apocalypse Rising")"

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}}? -- [[User:Taduolus|Taduolus]] 17:27, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

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 [[Memory Alpha:Featured article criteria|Featured article criteria]] quite nicely, and think it deserves to be an FA! &ndash; [[User:Taduolus|Taduolus]] 12:36, 5 April 2008 (UTC)

:I know I'm coming to the table a little late, but better late than never. It is a very great article. Made me laugh in a few places as well. I did change one minor thing. In the "Federation Control" section, I changed the link for Commander [[Worf]]'s rank to go to the [[Lieutenant Commander]] page instead of the [[Commander]] page. Other than that small, little thing, it was great!!!!! I also would support it if it was put up for FA. ----[[User:Mainphramephreak|<span style="color:#00FFFF;"> '''Willie'''</span>]]<sup>[[User Talk:Mainphramephreak|<span style="color:#FF7000;"> '''LLAP'''</span>]]</sup> 23:01, 19 March 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. -[[User:FleetCaptain|FC]] 13:50, 5 April 2008 (UTC)
