Hi June, I am hoping this is you. I just read the article on Oakland's zero waste program. It is very information rich but here are a few suggestions. For one thing I noticed that you cited wikipedia itself towards the beginning. I would try to find a better cite otherwise it seems to circular to write an article for wikipedia and cite wikipedia. In general, I think this article could use some more citations to strengthen it. I can see where you are getting alot of the information but I think that once you switch to footnotes, it will be easy to have cites for each fact to strengthen it. Also, I think you should break up some of the long paragraphs towards the ned with more subject headings like the ones from the assignment, like stakeholders, evaluation, etc. 130.212.149.187 (talk) 21:59, 19 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

DYK

This article should be eligible for appearing on the main page as a "Did you know" entry, if it is nominated it soon; it is supposed to be nominated within 5 days of being created or significantly (5x) expanded.

The instructions for nominating it are at Template talk:Did you know. Basically, all you need to do is take this code if you created a new article:

{{NewDYKnom| article= | hook=... that ? | status=new | author=  }}

or this code if you expanded it

{{NewDYKnom| article= | hook=... that ? | status=expanded | author= }}

and write the hook, a concise and interesting bit of info from the article beginning with "... that" and ending with a question mark. The info from the hook has to be present in the article and supported (in the article) with a citation. Someone will double-check to make sure the source says what it's claimed to say.

Once you've come up with a hook, fill in your username as the author and fill the title of the article, then add the above code, including your hook following the "hook=" part, to the top of the appropriate section for the day the article was started on the DYK template talk page. The code will produce an entry formatted like the others. After that, just keep an eye on the entry; if anyone brings up an issue with it, try to address it. I'll keep an eye out as well. If everything goes well, it will appear on the Main Page for several hours a few days from now.
