You include countries? Thank goodness!

I was chasing someone who might be apply a geographic bend in peer reviewing Wikipedia:Peer_review/United_Nations_list_of_Non-Self-Governing_Territories/archive1 . Did you know that Western Sahara has an area of 266 thousand square kilometers but it is still on the list 32 years after Spain left? :)--15:02, 5 September 2008 (UTC)

Peer Review

Hi, I was hoping you could help me out with my peer review request for the Davenport, Iowa page. I worked really hard to get it to a GA in March, and am hoping to get it to an FA by the end of this year. Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

I'm humbly asking for your considered opinion with my peer review request for the Lakeside Apartments District, Oakland, California page. I've listed this article for peer review because, at present the City of Oakland's Planning Commission and City Council is revising zoning and height regulations for new land development (i.e. skyscrapers) in the neighborhood. Currently, much public attention is focused on this neighborhood in the Hearing Rooms at City Hall down the street, around in the conference tables of local investment banks, and kitchen tables of local activists. Having spent many hours editing it, I'd hope this article reflects a modicum of accuracy and good encyclopedic writing.Critical Chris (talk) 20:24, 15 September 2008 (UTC)

This article doesn't nearly have enough sourcing done for me to write a proper peer review without resorting to writing "find a source for this" with every sentence. Look at the levels of sourcing and the number of footnotes in some Featured Articles and you'll know what I'm talking about. User:Krator (t c) 16:16, 17 September 2008 (UTC)

My RfA

Thank you for your participation at my RfA, which passed with a count of (166/43/7). I appreciate your comments and in my actions as an administrator I will endeavor to act in ways that earn your full confidence, even though I don't have it now. Cirt (talk) 01:33, 16 September 2008 (UTC)

Hey Krator; a peer review request doesn't seem to fit into your wishes at any point in its wording, so I figured I'd put it here.

Well, I've been testing myself, and I think I am ready to organize something great. Something big. Something like a featured article drive, which in this case involves eighteen of America's largest cities. However, in order for me to facilitate the whole process, I am trying to procure all necessary data beforehand. This means peer review. Are you up for the job?

If so, I have already started a peer review of Los Angeles, California, the largest of the eighteen cities within the drive's scope. It can be found at this location here.

Please get back to me as soon as you can.

Thanks, --Starstriker7(Dime algoor see my works) 13:17, 30 September 2008 (UTC)
