I've listed this article for peer review because I think it needs some more cleaning and referencing edits to be FA and we would like to check the article status.

First off, I'd recommend removing the lead tag since the lead is not that long. Make sure that it summarizes all parts of the article (see WP:LEAD for details)
Address all of the current "citation needed" and "when" tags.
The inline citations need to be cleaned up, many are missing author, date, format, access date, etc. Consider using the citation templates at WP:CITET.
The entire "history of Saudi Arabia" section is unsourced. Consider using some of the sources in the main article to include here.
I'd recommend going through the article and adding inline citations for any statement that includes figures, statistics, or content that may be questioned by a reader over its verifiability.
There are a few instances of single sentences standing alone. Either expand on these with more content, or incorporate them into another paragraph. The flow of the article works better when these sentences don't stand alone.
The quote box in the "human rights" section should be shifted to the left or right instead of remaining in the center.
In the "emirates" section, expand on opening details. Although there is a main article, it would be beneficial to have a basic introduction to the emirates for interested readers.
Consider briefly describing each of the different military branches.
The "cities" and "international rankings" sections needs more details.
See if the external links can be cut down. Consider using some for sourcing instead.

Hopefully this is helpful. Before heading to FAC, I'd recommend starting with GAN first. Look to other GA country articles for ideas of what else can be done to improve the article. If you need further clarification on any of these, let me know on my talk page, and I'll get back to you as soon as I can. --Happy editing! Nehrams2020 (talk • contrib) 22:46, 14 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
