1308 B (< 1500 B). --Redtigerxyz Talk 10:55, 20 October 2012 (UTC)

- This needs more expansion. Post my copyedit, it is back to 1361 B. Ignoring the non-English Georgian, the size will be even lesser. --Redtigerxyz Talk 18:45, 20 October 2012 (UTC)
- I see nothing else to write about. I'll try to search some more Georgian and Russian articles, but I can't thin of anything at this moment. --Երևանցի ասելիք կա՞ 23:36, 20 October 2012 (UTC)
- The article is missing information about when the street was first built and before its renaming. --Redtigerxyz Talk 05:54, 21 October 2012 (UTC)
- There is an Albanian GWB street as well, which I've added to the article. However, there's a serious problem with sourcing - one of the sources (which I've now removed) was Free Republic, a fairly rabid right-wing blog which is emphatically not a reliable source for anything, including what colour the sky is. The good news is that the cited info was probably filched by Free Republic from somewhere else so it should be possible to find a proper source for it. Prioryman (talk) 09:04, 21 October 2012 (UTC)
- But the Free Republic source wasn't their. It was from the AP. I can't see any problem with that. Please see this: http://www.sptimes.com/2005/09/15/Worldandnation/High_blood_pressure__.shtml, which is from the Tampa Bay Times. Can I use that as a reliable source? --Երևանցի ասելիք կա՞ 15:18, 21 October 2012 (UTC)
- Yes, that should be fine. Regarding Free Republic, they have a habit of ripping off wire services (in fact, as I recall, they got sued - and lost - for copyright infringement). They're not a good source in their own right, and linking to copyright violations isn't allowed by Wikipedia's own policies. But well done on finding the Tampa Bay Times source, it's a good alternative. Prioryman (talk) 15:44, 21 October 2012 (UTC)

(←) Just fix the [citation needed] tags. Will then give a final look. --Redtigerxyz Talk 18:18, 21 October 2012 (UTC)
- Done! --Երևանցի ասելիք կա՞ 22:54, 21 October 2012 (UTC)
without image: 2021 B. Referenced. New. Including Prioryman in credits as he brought in Albanian street fulfilling the size constraint. Image is not so good, due to the shadow + freedom of panorama in Georgia needs to be examined to conclusively ok the copyright status. --Redtigerxyz Talk 09:39, 23 October 2012 (UTC)
