London Borough of Croydon

I've listed this article for peer review because of I need some creative feedback on how to make this article a Good Article and a Featured Article. I have made substantial changes to this article since I've come on Wikipedia and believe that this could be a brilliant article. From the failed GA Review, I've changed most things, such as:

Taking off links that are repeated over and over again
Changing lists into prose and shortening or getting rid of tables altogether
Use full references and reference everything that is questionable or arguable.

Thanks,

Review by Chris.B

It's a good start, but I feel it may need some more work.

As it stands now the lead section needs a slight expansion; some parts of article aren't summarised.
Remember that all non-free content requires a proper fair use rationale: have a look at Image:Croydoncouncillogo.gif, Image:Choice-fm-logo.gif and Image:Couls purl.jpg. Some of which are used in breach of fair use.
The overall layout of images looks somewhat cluttered. Consider making them all consistent by maintaining only the thumb attribute.
"Croydon covers an area of 86.52 km²" What's that in miles squared?
The article needs additional references. The "Neighbourhoods and areas" section is wholly unreferenced, as is most of the history section.
It needs some minor formatting changes: e.g. "Geography and Climate" → "Geography and climate" and so forth. No need for caps.

Otherwise a very exhaustive article. Keep up the good work. -- Chris B • talk 16:55, 31 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I think the non-free corporate logos and non-free images of buildings should be removed. Generally, all non-free use images need non-free media rationales to explain why the use is permitted. – Ilse @ 09:20, 1 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
