La Ciudad Blanca

(

has 2 cite needed tags, pls fix for DYK, for DYK fix the by whom and which tags, for DYK fix the bare URL refs (currently several, such as numbers 8 and 25, two are also missing titles), for GA a photo would be good and get rid of the one sentence/line paragraphs, for GA be very consistent in ref formatting.PumpkinSky talk 00:08, 26 May 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for the review. After I nominated the article here, User:Hoopes started adding material. I have been arguing with him for a couple days about the need for citations for his material (and to a lesser degree that it is OR by SYNTH). He seems to think wikilinks are sufficient to reference material, which is course not correct (see article talk and my talk). I've asked him to reference his material, but so far he has not. It will be dealt with within the next couple days one way or another - either he'll fix it, I'll find refs, or it will be removed. I'll reply again here when the article is ready for re-review. --ThaddeusB (talk) 18:42, 26 May 2013 (UTC)

ThaddeusB, if it isn't ready now, you need to make it ready; it's been over a week. Please report back as quickly as possible. Many thanks. BlueMoonset (talk) 05:35, 4 June 2013 (UTC)

I have removed the offending material since Hoopes has not provided any citations to back their relevance. I apologize for the delay - I was trying to give him as much time as possible to fix his contributions before deleting them wholesale. --ThaddeusB (talk) 01:38, 5 June 2013 (UTC)
