Hello. I am afraid I am going to have to fail this article's GA nomination. There are quite a few issues with this article that prevent it from being a GA. Here is a list of things to work on before renominating the article for GAN:

The biggest issue is references. Many sections partially or completely lack references. There are references needed banners dating as far back as May 2008; these banners are grounds for a GAN quick-fail in their own right.
Web references need to be properly formatted with titles, publishers and access dates at the very least.
There is an expansion needed banner on the government section dating from March 2009.
The lead needs to be expanded. For an article of this length two or three solid paragraphs are appropriate. They should summarize the entire article without including new information.
There are several dead linking references, see here
The bulleted list in the Parks and recreation section should probably be turned into prose, or at least have prose added to the section.

These are just the things I saw in a quick look through the article. I have not done a thorough review of the GA criteria, most notably prose and images, and so further issues may exist with these or other criteria. I am not watchlisting this page, so please let me know on my talk page if you have any questions about this review. Dana boomer (talk) 01:28, 20 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
