• Alderwood Mall is linked twice in the 'History' section
  • Removed the first instance.
• The term 'city center' appears in the seventh paragraph of the History section, but it is only wikilinked at its appearance in the 10th paragraph.
  • Moved the link.
• I'd unabbreviate ADP in the prose to Automatic Data Processing, then add (ADP) in brackets
  • Done.
• Why do 'Pacific Islander' and 'other races' both link to Race and ethnicity in the United States Census?
  • All but the non-hispanic white links redirect to the article anyway, so I've removed them all.
• "11.5% had a female householder with no husband present" - just confirming, the wording specifically says they had 'no husband present'. Or did it just say no adult male present? Same issue with no wife present. This seems several decades behind the times but if that's what it actually says obviously we can keep it in
  • The Census sections of these articles were written ages ago by bots, and reflects whatever data was reported by the Census Bureau. I figure that the householder definition will get updated, as the "male householder with no wife present" wasn't added until the 2010 census.
• "The current mayor of Lynnwood" - reword as per WP:REALTIME
  • Reworded and expanded.
• "The Weekly Herald published its final issue on ..." - it would be of interest to give a brief account of why it shut down
  • Could only find one small reason (revenue issues), but nothing substantial.

Couldn't find much wrong with this one. Will be happy to pass once minor issues are addressed. Freikorp (talk) 08:44, 27 June 2018 (UTC)
