GA Review

This review is transcluded from Talk:Valley of Peace initiative/GA1. The edit link for this section can be used to add comments to the review.

I'm afraid I don't think this meets criteria. First, I don't think the lead meets WP:LEAD sufficiently, it's too short. Inline citations should go right next to the text, not with a space. The references need formatting properly (with access date, publisher, date linked etc). There is an unnecessary list in "Project contents", which should be written into the prose. It could be a good article in time, but needs quite a bit of work. how do you turn this on 15:01, 3 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Ok. thanks for your ideas and feedback. --Steve, Sm8900 (talk) 16:46, 3 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

There is a broken citation 37 ^ World Bank Sees Opportunities for Palestinian Investments, UNISPAL website.

Fixed. —Ynhockey ^(Talk) 23:02, 24 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Relevance

The section, "Other joint economic efforts" is not really under the Valley of Peace, perhaps a "See other" link to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G.ho.st would be more appropriate?

hi. I understand your question. However, i think that part of the idea is that the Peace Valley plan is an effort by government to foster local individuals' efforts. So efforts by individual entrepenuers have much relevance. this doesn't mean that everything would simply be included here; for example, an initiative by Pepsi-Cola or any major corporation would not necessarily fall under this umbrella. I think though that for this topic, this business seems to fit. thanks. --Steve, Sm8900 (talk) 22:13, 16 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
