SF Building Trades moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, SF Building Trades, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more in-depth coverage about the subject itself, with citations from reliable, independent sources in order to show it meets WP:GNG. It should have at least three, to be safe. And please remember that interviews, as primary sources, do not count towards GNG.(?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.Onel5969 ^{TT me} 11:31, 24 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

San Fran Building Trade Unions

Hello! I saw you mention you have an interest in SF's building trade unions/it's history. Just by chance I actually happened to stumble across a union logo that might be a useful starting point?

I uploaded the image to wikimedia so I'll share it here.

After doing some googling this page also seems related: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Olaf_Tveitmoe (Just be advised unfortunately this person in particular was also a racist. But the article does link to other unions present at the time in San Fran which could be a good starting off point research wise to finding history of the major building trade unions in SF.)

I also found an archive for a San Francisco paper called Organized Labor that might be useful.

Hey, there. Thanks for this resource! Paowerranger (talk) 03:29, 22 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I actually just submitted a draft for an article on Organized Labor. Let me know what you think! Draft:Organized Labor Paowerranger (talk) 03:34, 22 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Oh wow, glad to see it was helpful!

In the next couple of days when i have time ill give it a look over and approve it as long as it meets the accuracy requirements (I'm sure it does, just have to do my due diligence!).

Glad to see you join :) LoomCreek (talk) 17:40, 22 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello! The article was an interesting read :D I removed the statement "The publication played a prominent role in shaping labor discourse in Northern California, particularly during key moments in labor history, such as the massive rebuilding effort that the city faced after the 1906 San Francisco earthquake, as well as the 1934 West Coast longshoremen's strike." before I published it as there was no source and I couldn't find one myself, but am letting you know so that you can add it back if you manage to find one. -- NotCharizard ^🗨 11:02, 23 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
