Please review the entire article. I would like to know what would need to be changed so I can nominate it to be a good article. 1312020Wikicop 20:43, 15 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Nice article. I think it is just about ready for a good article review after one more pass. Some remarks:

  • I find the prose straightforward and uncluttered.
  • I find it strange that the history ceases with the American civil war. Has the town been that quiet since then? Not much is needed here, however. Possibly some remarks on how the town fared through WWI, the Depression, WWII, the cold war, or other historical milestones.
  • Does any significant newspaper, radio or television station provide coverage for this region?
  • Economics: is the town/region changing from economic pressures? Is the agrarian sector in decline? Has there been significant population shifts?

The last three points would be where I would start to develop detail. If there is any defect here, it is the absence of history after 1870 or so. Gosgood 16:05, 21 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
