GA Review

Article (edit | visual edit | history) · Article talk (edit | history) · Watch

The article's sections are not very well organized, and it seems like many of the topic areas diverge into different random topics. Sections such as "Banagher Fair", "Architecture...", "Literature", "Places of Worship", should be combined into a single "culture" section.

The "That Beats Banagher!" section seems somewhat non-standard, and should be incorporated into another section. It seems like it might be better added into the subsection dealing with literature in a culture section. The article title should also not be used in subsection headers, per WP:MSH.

There's no section on "Governance". There's no section on "Transportation", either.

Change "Business and Commerce" to "Economy" -- simple subsection headers are recommended over longer and more complex ones.

Promote the "History" section to the first section -- first four sections should be: history, geography, demographics, economy.

URL links that are used as inline citations should have more than just the link and title; include author, publisher, date of publication, and date URL was retrieved. This is important, so that if the URL ever becomes 404 not found, the citation can be used to track down and verify the information.

I think the grammar and language look ok at first glance; but check things like subject/verb agreement and verb tenses.

With a little work and reorganization, I think this could be a GA. I'll put this on hold for now. Dr. Cash (talk) 03:38, 3 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry about the delay. I think the article as it stands meet the GA criteria, so it can be promoted. I would still try to reduce the sub-sub-sections within the culture section a bit. The material still best fits under culture, but I think the multiple sub-sub-sections are unnecessary, and the information can be better weaved into the text better. Also, there seems to be a bit too much information on the three authors mentioned -- Anthony Trollope, Charlotte Brontë, and James Pope Hennessy -- those three should have separate articles, and information about them in an article about the town they lived in should be brief, and focus mostly on their connection to Banagher. If readers want a full bio, they can click on the link.

But otherwise, good work! Cheers! Dr. Cash (talk) 16:51, 4 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks Derek. Will take a look at the culture section as you suggest.--Corcs999 (talk) 18:57, 4 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
