Club Harlem

Hi, I noticed that Dr. Blofeld created this and Paradise Club (Atlantic City, New Jersey) on July 29. I decided to try to expand Club Harlem in the 7-day DYK window, and wonder if you'd also like to work on it? Thanks, Yoninah (talk) 22:25, 1 August 2016 (UTC)

Excellent work! Yes, I didn't want to overburden everybody, but if I hadn't have started them I'd have forgot the names!♦ Dr. Blofeld 07:33, 2 August 2016 (UTC)

Do either of you know how to make a map from Open Street Map? We could do with a map of Atlantic City like the New York City one. I used to be able to do it on another site but I've never been able to do it on OSM.♦ Dr. Blofeld 07:40, 2 August 2016 (UTC)

Sorry, I have no experience with maps. We hope, could you add some historical images? Are the pictures in the February 1960 Ebony magazine usable? Yoninah (talk) 15:49, 2 August 2016 (UTC)

Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Frank Sinatra

Hi, you're invited to join this. A loosely coordinated project, but one which I think is really needed to tie Sinatra-related material together, as he created his own world in a way. I think it's something which has long been needed, so hope you're interested and sign up!♦ Dr. Blofeld 09:55, 5 August 2016 (UTC)

Paradise Club (Atlantic City, New Jersey)

Hi, I started an expansion. Would you be able to flesh out the history of the club and add any images? Thanks, Yoninah (talk) 22:13, 6 August 2016 (UTC)

Thanks for your edits. I think it's enough to nominate for a 5x expansion at DYK. I was just wondering when the club opened? Yoninah (talk) 16:04, 7 August 2016 (UTC)
