Santa Anita Park

I am self nominating this article although the foundation was not done by me. I feel that while this article may have some shortcomings with suggestions and some changes it certainly merits featured article status.

The list in the middle is bit tedious. Is there a way to convert that into actual writing? Osbus 00:23, 27 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. Lead too short, no references. Batmanand | Talk 15:03, 27 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. Note that there are some inline references, though they're certainly not extensive. Featured articles call for "brilliant prose," which usually doesn't entail a list. The history section is mostly well-written, but seems to form almost the entirety of the article, save for a list. Expand the lead, and convert that list to some good information about racing today at the park. Best of luck! — Rebelguys2 ^talk 23:37, 27 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Object. The image Image:Santaanita.gif has no source or copyright information. If it's not under a free license, then it can't be used in Wikipedia, since it's quite possibe for someone to make a free-license replacement. --Carnildo 07:03, 29 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I have addressed the concerns and have converted the lists of races into paragraph form. I have also expanded the lead. I am currently seeking permission from the Daily Racing Form to use the image and I have all reason to believe that permission will be granted. For the time being I will remove the image from the article. Thanks for your suggestions. --216.24.38.83 21:16, 30 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I think the list in paragraph form is better, it makes it more comprehensible. But I am almost blinded w/red links, which don't tend to be good in FA's. =Osbus 01:48, 31 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
