I don't like to quickly fail, but this one is. First of all this is United States. There is enormous amount of info available out there which is lacking in the article. Details:

Lead - wow! it is good but too big. It should not have more then four paragraphs who summarizes the article and doesn't introduce topics that are not covered later in the article
Poor refs- History, Government and politics, Foreign relations and military, Geography and environment, Political divisions, Infrastructure, Crime and law enforcement, and Culture need refs. Tons of refs are needed and this cannot be fixed in time span of a month or some. There is no uniform system of refs and date formatting is uneven. Also dead link is an issue
Lack of details- sections such as Sports, Culture, and few more can have more info. I'm not saying to add a big amount of words, but the current version doesn't talk about the state pretty well. The topic may be covered in it's main article, but still more info should be added especially where it is famous for it's culture, religion diversity, migration and where the state has won hundreds of Gold medals.

These are the primary reasons why this has failed. This is not near to a GA but sure it'll be in future. Editors may like to use India (FA) as an example and improve this. In my spare time, I'll also be trying to improve a bit. Cheers! TheSpecialUser ^TSU 23:29, 10 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
