Opa-Locka Thematic Resource Area
[edit]

There is an outstanding question about the merging or renaming of the article, so the DYK nom should wait for resolution. Expansion size is good: It went from 252 characters "readable prose size" to 3281 characters from October 5 to October 9; an increase of 13x. The article is missing a reference in the first paragraph of the "History" section, one that would support the hook. Less seriously, the architect Muller is not supported with a reference. The photograph has the proper license for public domain; it could be cropped, however, to trim too much parking lot, too much tree and too much sky. Binksternet (talk) 23:42, 20 October 2012 (UTC)
- Sourcing issues addressed. The merge discussion has no fixed end date; it's simply an ongoing discussion point. And the proposed merger with the City of Opa-Locka does not appear to have support as reflected in the discussion. Cbl62 (talk) 15:19, 21 October 2012 (UTC)
The merge issue is going down as defeated. The article is good to go. Here's a cropped image that you might prefer. Binksternet (talk) 15:42, 21 October 2012 (UTC)
