- Comment Recommend a Peer review to help prepare for FAC, including work on WP:LEAD, cleaning up listiness, referencing, formatting sources, and other MOS issues (such as the rambling TOC, 500px images and what looks like an oversized infobox). SandyGeorgia (Talk) 15:20, 9 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- OpposePremature nomination. Lead is too short. Too many red links. Some sections are just lists. Hardly any references. Needs a peer review. Probably needs a copy-edit as well to top it off. — Wackymacs 15:34, 9 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Red links are not an relevant objection. Raul654 19:28, 9 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- If you take a look at the article, you'll notice they almost outnumber the blue links. — Wackymacs 20:00, 9 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- I noticed. Be that as it may, the fact that this article links to non-existant articles has nothing to do with the quality of this article. Raul654 20:40, 9 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- It may, however, indicate that the article is overlinked. For example, it's very likely that not all of the people listed having researched the origins of Cantabria warrant their own articles. ShadowHalo 01:51, 10 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

- My primary concerns:
- Those long, wide images should probably be placed in their own line instead of forcing text to the right; it would make the section look a lot tidier.
- The lead is much too short for an article of this length.
- Several sections are much too listy and either need to be eliminated or converted to prose.
- Though it's probably difficult, a few more English references would be helpful. -- Phoenix2 (holla) 04:53, 10 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- All right, I´ll have in mind your suggestions, specially about the lead, lists and images, in fact I´ll add to Peer review. Concerning red links, some members of Wikiproyecto Cantabria we are working in them, but as Raul654 says, it is not a criterion of quality of the article. This shortage of links ins explained because this article was the first of a series of Cantabrian subjects. Thank you very much.Uhanu 09:25, 14 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
