I want this featured article reviewed because:

• No references
• Red links
• Uncompelling prose
• And an empty external links section

Hadseys, please note the instructions at the top of the WP:FAR page regarding nomination of one article at a time, and please follow the instructions to notify relevant parties on both of your nominations. Thanks, SandyGeorgia (Talk) 01:38, 17 July 2007 (UTC) Did it myself. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 02:27, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

I'll tackle this. I checked the article; there is only one red link and that is to a building. I can just delink it. I personally think that many of the references there now should be the external links. I notice there is some (fact) templates running around, I can address those.

It should be trivially easy to scare up tons of references via the LexisNexis news database, and Google scholar. It's just a matter of, who has the time?Ling.Nut 04:36, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

I got the time to fix some things up. User:Zscout370 ^{(Return Fire)} 04:55, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

• Comment Redlinks and lack of external links are not deficiencies per WP:WIAFA. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 05:46, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Ok; but I removed them anyways and I think the three links we have now are good for now. While sourcing is easy to do, prose isn't my best attribute. User:Zscout370 ^{(Return Fire)} 05:48, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

Zscout, please update your progress regularly, and don't be alarmed if you aren't able to complete work within the two-week FAR period; even if the article moves to FARC, extra time is allowed as long as work is ongoing and progress is evident. A lot of citation work is needed. I've seen other articles use {{ChineseText}} under the images in the lead, but I'm not aware if there are guidelines; it might be helpful to see that up front.

FARC commentary

Suggested FA criteria concerns are citations (1c) and prose (1a). Marskell 13:40, 6 August 2007 (UTC)

• Status? No progress since nom; is anyone planning to work on this? SandyGeorgia (Talk) 20:44, 11 August 2007 (UTC)

• Remove per 1c. LuciferMorgan 17:11, 13 August 2007 (UTC)
• Remove—1a and 1c. Needs a thorough copy-edit to smooth out awkward wording. Tony 23:59, 18 August 2007 (UTC)
