Glenrothes

Nominator(s): Mcwesty (talk)

I'm nominating this article for featured article because it appears well written, easy to read and understand and is presented well with good use of imagery. Mcwesty (talk) 15:53, 19 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose - The History section is nice, but the rest seems to be unfinished:

"Housing Precincts" is a list - convert it to prose and add actual context instead of just precinct names.
"Climate" section is too short to warrant its own header - merge into another section or expand if possible?
"Public sector" as above.
"Twin town" as above.
Format the references correctly using {{Citation}} or other templates. See WP:CITE
Cleanup the External links section, and move it to the end.
'Further interest' should probably be renamed 'Further reading' and cleaned up.
Move the 'Pictures' gallery to Wikimedia Commons where it belongs.
'Education' section is just a list - is there no actual context to add?
I would expand the lead to two paragraphs, per WP:LEAD.

Oppose

Wackymacs mentioned a lot of stuff that I agree with, plus here's a few more.
Rename "References & Notes" to "References" per WP:LAYOUT.
Convert "&" to "and" in section titles.

Comments

Agree about the citation issues, they need to not have the external links be plain numbers. They also need last access dates and publishers at the very minimum. When they've been formatted better, I'll try to revisit to judge reliability. Ealdgyth - Talk 13:47, 20 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose All sections have to have references, and this does not occur in this article. Idontknow 610^TM 17:32, 20 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Query; is the nominator responding? SandyGeorgia (Talk) 18:30, 22 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
The nominator is still editing the article nominated in this FAC but is not responding and is not resolving any of the issues raised here. Gary King (talk) 18:37, 22 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
