Santa Anita Park

The biggest prep to the Kentucky Derby comes up on the 8th of April (that is the Santa Anita Derby) and I thought that if enough editing and improvement this article could possibly be featured on that date. I understand this article is not perfect and that the pictures may be copyrighted (I didn't add them) but I think with some polishing it could certainly be a great article.

This article still has a ways to go before it is a serious FA candidate. Looking at the article, I am not convinced that the article is comprehensive in its coverage of the park. One area for expansion is a description of the grounds beyond just the track. There is a picture of the grandstands, but no description of things like archtechtural styling or seating capacity. Other items that need to be included are the names of who owns and operates the park, what times of the year does the park host races, and does the park hold anything other than just a race track. The long list in the racing section will also raise objections at WP:FAC, and should be converted into text. I would also recommend adding inline citations at the same time you are adding this extra information (see m:Cite/Cite.php one possible method of adding inline citations). --Allen3 ^talk 13:48, 17 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with your judgement about the listing and i have converted it to text while maintaining the links where they exsist. I have also added more information about the Art Deco style of Santa Anita as well as the seating capacity. The racing section details the meetings at Santa Anita and it is also mentioned in the history. --Loucards 14:21, 17 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
