GA Review edit

Great job improving the article thus far, however, it does not yet meet Good Article criteria for the following reasons:

  • Sourcing is thin. Every date, statistic, and number should have a citation. Also, any facts that are controversial or likely to be contested, such as the fact that Glynn Academy is the second-oldest high school in Georgia, need to be cited as well. Per WP:VERIFY, references should be from reliable sources such as published books, magazines, newspapers, and reliable websites such as government sources, historical associations, etc.
  • References also have to be formatted properly. An easy way to do this is to use this Wiki Reference Generator. All references should have at least a title, publisher (or work, if a newspaper, magazine, etc.), and access date.
  • Per WP:LEAD, try to avoid citations in the lead. Any information provided in the lead should be presented in the main article with a citation.
  • Miscellaneous and trivia sections should be avoided. It's best to find a way to incorporate this information into the main text or just leave it out.
  • Per WP:USCITY, The article is missing information on Culture and Sports/Recreation. Is there nothing unique or historic in the town? Since it's a coastal city I imagine there are beaches and water recreation, correct? If so, those should be mentioned.
  • The Superfund site information should probably be provided under Geography.

The article will fail GA for now, but please renominate when the above issues are resolved. Best, epicAdam (talk) 17:20, 13 August 2008 (UTC)Reply
