Wikipedia:Peer review/History of Fort Lauderdale, Florida/archive1
- A script has been used to generate a semi-automated review of the article for issues relating to grammar and house style; it can be found on the automated peer review page for July 2008.
This peer review discussion has been closed.
I've listed this article for peer review because I believe it is near to Good Article status, and I'd like to get a review before sending it through the gantlet.

- I don't like the lead intro. Can you make it start with "The history of Fort Lauderdale, Florida..." ?
- Most articles have a picture in the lead, you might want to add one there.
- This needs expansion. There are published books on the history of Fort Lauderdale which should be used.
- A search on Google Books brings up over 900 books with limited preview you can use to expand the article: (Good rule of thumb: University Press books are excellent reliable sources)
- What makes http://www.stock-market-crash.net/florida.htm a reliable source?
- Don't use {{Citation}} if you are using the Cite web, Cite news, etc templates. See WP:CITE.
- Other good reliable sources include nyt.com and time.com newspaper archives. There's also ESBCOhost and Thomson Gale Infotrac, if you have access to them through your state/local library system.
- The prose looks good, and this seems to be well on its way to featured status if its expanded enough.
- If I were you, I would skip the GA process (waste of time) and keep working on this for FA status.
- A 'Further reading' section would be nice, but not necessary.
- I hope my comments are useful. Please ask if you want any help or further comments.
