@Mabrayne: You mentioned the hotel, it is already mentioned underneath. Some of the info was superfluous to the main article on Calais.♦ Dr. Blofeld 18:47, 10 June 2017 (UTC)

Au contraire User: Dr Blofeld, the hotel I mention is quite different from the hotel mentioned in the succeeding paragraph. please explain what is superfluous. Regards User: Mabrayne —Preceding undated comment added 20:51, 10 June 2017 (UTC)

@Mabrayne: Yes, sorry about that I mistook it to be about the same hotel and some extra details but a different hotel and it being a location in a book is fair enough. Thanks. There's plenty of French communes and articles needing expansion BTW, why not create a user page and work on more articles?♦ Dr. Blofeld 21:15, 10 June 2017 (UTC)

Personality disorders

1. "Poor communication skills. Disregard for the feelings of others. Inability to detect verbal and non-verbal cues. Rudeness. Social ineptitude. Marked verbosity. Literal interpretations and miscomprehension of nuance. Poor or no sense of humor.

2. Obsessive or repetitive routines. Behavior, interests and activities that are restricted and repetitive, and sometimes abnormally intense or focused. While these interests may change, they typically become more unusual and narrowly focused, and often dominate social interaction. "

Amusing. Considering that I have a great sense of humour for a start (a former manager once told me that I was the funniest guy he'd ever met) and care a great deal if I upset somebody (decent). I can talk for Great Britain, ask anybody within WM I've spoken to via phone, and am very good at discussing ideas and helping people when approached. I also get bored focusing on one thing for too long, in fact I wish I could be as focussed on one thing as a lot of people are. Wrong diagnosis Doctor Singora, I really don't think you know me very well. That three months down the line you're still talking about me is certainly obsessive.♦ Dr. Blofeld 18:12, 19 June 2017 (UTC)

@We hope: Can you find a free image ? If not, upload a classic one?♦ Dr. Blofeld 11:39, 23 June 2017 (UTC)

Hang on-while going through newspapers & magazines hoping lightning would strike twice as it did for Smalls' images, I found a lot more background information about the business. It began as a diner and in the 1950s, there was a new restaurant building across the street from the original spot; this is where Dr. King and and other leaders were regular guests. The brothers also built their hotel and the La Carousel jazz club next to the restaurant circa 1960. The hotel and club are gone-razed by Clark Atlanta University. The restaurant was preserved. Clark originally had plans to tear it down, but reconsidered after public outcry re: destruction of this historic place. Need to keep looking for images-what's turned up so far would be non-free. Will post various links here after I get them sorted out. We hope (talk) 14:30, 23 June 2017 (UTC)

Starting links here:

• Index-Journal July 29, 2003 (Newspapers.com)

Closing of the restaurant. Clark Atlanta continued to operate it from the time it purchased the property, but decided to close it due to dwindling patronage. The restaurant was to be demolished for a college dormitory.

• Rushville Republican June 20, 2003 (Newspaperarchive.com)

Supporters fight to save the restaurant for its historic value. It was nicknamed "the Black City Hall" as Dr. King and SCLC members were regulars there. The Paschal brothers opened their doors and their hearts to those involved in the Civil Rights Movement. They were known to post bail for protesters, serve free meals to them and extend their operating hours so families had a place to meet protesters who were released from the local jail.

• Yuma Sun March 6, 1984 (Newspaperarchive.com)

Notable people who were guests of the restaurant.

• Appeal Democrat August 8, 2007 (Newspaperarchive.com)

What was referred to by Dr. King and his associates as "the sacramental meal" at Paschal's. Their peach cobbler was said to be his favorite dessert.

• Baltimore Afro-American July 2, 1968 (Newspaperarchive.com)

A good overview of the brothers' business history-the restaurant, hotel and jazz club. The club was considered to be one of the premiere jazz nightclubs in the southern US.

Stopping here-end of newspaper material--next is books. ;) We hope (talk) 15:55, 23 June 2017 (UTC)

In 1959, the brothers were able to open the restaurant across the street from the original building. Since the South was still practicing segregation, their Atlanta business license read "Colored only". The jazz club/lounge opened in 1960; many notable jazz performers played there. The motor hotel opened in 1967; it was full service and considered to be top-flight.

pages 641-644 More on the brothers' establishing their businesses and more on the La Carousel lounge, which opened in 1960. Segregation was still in force in Georgia when the jazz club opened and their business and liquor licenses still read "Colored only". The admission of non-African American clientele was a technical breach of the law. About 60-65% of their guests were non-African Americans. Famous people of both races came to the venue to listen to jazz played by top name musicians. During his 1968 presidential campaign, Robert F. Kennedy was both a motor hotel and restaurant guest. He also maintained a campaign office at the business.

Clark Atlanta University intended to raze the restaurant in favor of a new student dormitory. When this became national news, the outcry was enough to prompt the US Congress to grant US$100,000 to formulate plans to save the restaurant. Congress granted the sum in December 2003, and the plans were announced the following June.

Paschal's La Carousel

Hi, I added a number of good sources, including books, to the article. But there's so much to say about the restaurant, it overshadows the jazz club. Do you think the page is properly named? Are you aware of the other Wikipedia article called Paschal's? Yoninah (talk) 23:48, 28 June 2017 (UTC)

OK, I'm stopping here. I rewrote the lead to highlight the jazz club, and put a hidden note in the article stating that the whole History section really belongs over at Paschal's, if you're trying to focus on the jazz club. But there may not be enough for a solo article on the jazz club. We hope, what do you think? Best, Yoninah (talk) 00:17, 29 June 2017 (UTC)

Yoninah, what about merging the 2 articles? The Paschal's article needs a lot more information than it now has and it seems to me that in merging the restaurant/hotel with the jazz club, you'd end up with a solid article about them all. We hope (talk) 01:41, 29 June 2017 (UTC)

We hope I agree. Should I just move everything into Paschal's and make a redirect on Paschal's La Carousel? Yoninah (talk) 19:09, 3 July 2017 (UTC)

Yoninah, The Paschal's La Carousel is the larger of the two-what about moving Paschal's to Paschal's La Carousel and redirecting Paschal's for now? The name can always be changed later. We hope (talk) 21:08, 3 July 2017 (UTC)

@We hope: But, as I mentioned, the whole History section really belongs under Paschal's. Paschal's – the original restaurant and all the current-day branches – is an Atlanta institution. Paschal's La Carousel deserves its own section under Paschal's, not vice versa. Yoninah (talk) 11:14, 4 July 2017 (UTC)

Thanks, yes merging would be a good idea, though the name Paschal's La Crousel is pretty common. ♦ Dr. Blofeld 14:30, 29 June 2017 (UTC)

Well if you merge move the sources I put on the talk page of Talk:Paschal's La Carousel!♦ Dr. Blofeld 12:14, 4 July 2017 (UTC)

I did notice all the work you put into finding sources for La Carousel, Dr. B. I think I'll start by trying to expand that article, and move the history section over to Paschal's. Yoninah (talk) 12:47, 4 July 2017 (UTC)

Thanks Yoninah, We hope did the hard work on finding the sources, I didn't want her hard work on that to be wasted that's all! .♦ Dr. Blofeld 12:52, 4 July 2017 (UTC)

Dr. B., @We hope: here are the results: Paschal's and Paschal's La Carousel. We hope, you're terrific! Yoninah (talk) 19:28, 11 July 2017 (UTC)

So are you Yoninah! Perfectly done!♦ Dr. Blofeld 09:05, 12 July 2017 (UTC)
