Edits coming

Hello @RobLa: Thank you for creating this article. I took a break from Wikipedia due to college, but now I can edit freely again. I will improve this article when I get to the library tomorrow. I have the election results for every Burlington election since the 1970s in an email from the city's clerk. Jon698 (talk) 02:37, 18 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

: The article is new enough (created on May 18, 2022). I see that you are a major contributor, but not the page creater. I think the page creator (RobLa) deserves DYK credit. The article is long enough (5868 characters). Well written and well cited. The hook in interesting and meets other guidelines. However, it has lot of links. Ideally, the article should be only think to be linked (in addition to any technical terms). I think we can remove the link to Burlington and Burke from the hook. Upto you, though. A QPQ has been done and not used elsewhere. The hooks in in the article, with a citation. Almost good to go. – Kavyansh.Singh (talk) 10:40, 20 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

clarify location

There's a major lack of location information in this article. Pretty much had to read to the bottom to find out it's Burlington, Vermont; tbh, I clicked on the article because I live about an hour from Burlington, Ontario, Canada. 108.168.7.158 (talk) 03:14, 16 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
