GA Review

The article seems to meet the prose and verifiability criteria of the Good Article criteria. There are still a couple of manual of style issues which need to be addressed, specifically issues with WP:MSH. For example, the article title should not be included in section headers in the article, and there is unnecessary capitalization in some of these section headers. I believe this can be addressed by also reorganizing slightly to better cover the aspects of the mall's history. Instead of separate sections for 'Wood Green Shopping City' and 'Redevelopment as The Mall Wood Green', combine these into a single 'History' section, with a subsection entitled 'Redevelopment'.

I believe that there are also some issues with completeness. Certainly a mall of this size has some annual events and fairs to attract visitors. The only event mentioned is a "craft fair", which is pretty vague. This can be expanded, and better to include a new section for annual events instead of combining it with history.

The article's lead mentions seven anchor stores, but the article itself doesn't mention any of them at all. While listing every single tenant in the store is unnecessary, I think the anchor stores should be mentioned, and it might be good to cover some information on the general types of stores, and perhaps some of the more successful ones as well. Also, is there some sort of food court in the mall?

How many jobs are provided by stores in the mall? There doesn't seem to be any information on the employment situation.

Checking the article against the stability, and WP:NPOV criteria, I don't see any issues. Additionally, all of the images are tagged with appropriate fair-use or free image copyright tags, so that is fine.

I think once the above-mentioned criteria are solved, the article will likely meet the Good Article criteria. I will review it again in about a week. Cheers! Dr. Cash 04:27, 21 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
