Talk:Qu'Appelle, Saskatchewan/GA1

GA Review

Comments by Epicadam (talk · contribs):

Done Main image should be a current image
DoneImages should not be left-aligned under section headers, some captions are far too long, vertical images should use "upright" modifier (i.e. [[Image:Foo.jpg|left|thumb|upright|Image caption here]])
Section headers are too long, and I'm not sure why so much information is dedicated to churches- the information is more about the churches themselves than about the town

Fixed section header length. Added more information about the town, lenghtening other sections.

Inadequate sourcing for much of the article, especially in the media, churches, cultural events, and economy.
DoneClimate and demographics sections need prose
Done I'm not sure the block quotes do anything to enhance the article, quotes should be used to illustrate a point. You may want to just cite them instead of providing them in the article text.
Dates should not be linked unless they're especially important
Done Sections should be ordered roughly in style of US or UK city guidelines (History -> Geography -> Demographics -> Economy usually come first). The information about churches and points of interest could all go under a "Landmarks" section

Will study style of either US or UK guidelines for more tweaking.

DoneGovernment section shouldn't have dates of the elections, since they're likely to change in the future and are unimportant to understanding the town
Done History section should be written in chronological order as opposed to having its own mini introduction.
Done There are areas of broken links because of the use of curly brackets {{ instead of square brackets [[. Just read through the article, you'll see where.

This article is off to a good start, but is not yet a GA candidate. There needs to be significant work on the content and prose; the comments I provided above are in no way comprehensive. I wouldn't rely on others providing comments before making changes. Even though its a larger city, take a look at the article on Calgary for ideas on how to format the article and what type of information should be included. The article will fail for now but I look forward to its renomination. Best, epicAdam^(talk) 17:39, 26 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
