Croatian Littoral

(

)

... that the Croatian Littoral (pictured) is a Croatian region between the cities of Rijeka and Karlobag, but the term is also applied to the entire Croatia' coast of the Adriatic Sea?

Comment: Revised the hook after a user fixed it - historically the name applies to a specific region - a part of Croatia's Adriatic coast, but since 1940s, and especially since 1990s, it is applied to the entire Croatia's Adriatic coast. (Croatian Littoral - in the broader sense - is divided into the Northern and Southern Croatian Littoral, and the Northern Croatian Littoral in turn consists of Istria and Croatian Littoral in the strict sense of the term).--Tomobe03 (talk) 21:42, 30 April 2012 (UTC)

Article meets all the requirements, hook is good and I like the picture. If you hadn't considered it yet, I'd suggest putting it up for a Good Article nomination - I think with a good reviewer to guide you, you'd meet the requirements. Miyagawa (talk) 19:00, 18 May 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for the review and the GA tip. I plan to ask GOCE to copyedit the article first and then make a GA nom.--Tomobe03 (talk) 19:37, 18 May 2012 (UTC)
