Talk:Qu'Appelle, Saskatchewan/GA1

GA Review

Comments by Epicadam (talk · contribs):

•  Done Main image should be a current image
•  DoneImages should not be left-aligned under section headers, some captions are far too long, vertical images should use "upright" modifier (i.e. [[Image:Foo.jpg|left|thumb|upright|Image caption here]])
• Section headers are too long, and I'm not sure why so much information is dedicated to churches- the information is more about the churches themselves than about the town

• Fixed section header length. Added more information about the town, lenghtening other sections.

• Inadequate sourcing for much of the article, especially in the media, churches, cultural events, and economy.
•  DoneClimate and demographics sections need prose
•  Done I'm not sure the block quotes do anything to enhance the article, quotes should be used to illustrate a point. You may want to just cite them instead of providing them in the article text.
• Dates should not be linked unless they're especially important
•  Done Sections should be ordered roughly in style of US or UK city guidelines (History -> Geography -> Demographics -> Economy usually come first). The information about churches and points of interest could all go under a "Landmarks" section

• Will study style of either US or UK guidelines for more tweaking.

•  DoneGovernment section shouldn't have dates of the elections, since they're likely to change in the future and are unimportant to understanding the town
•  Done History section should be written in chronological order as opposed to having its own mini introduction.
•  Done There are areas of broken links because of the use of curly brackets {{ instead of square brackets [[. Just read through the article, you'll see where.

This article is off to a good start, but is not yet a GA candidate. There needs to be significant work on the content and prose; the comments I provided above are in no way comprehensive. I wouldn't rely on others providing comments before making changes. Even though its a larger city, take a look at the article on Calgary for ideas on how to format the article and what type of information should be included. The article will fail for now but I look forward to its renomination. Best, epicAdam^(talk) 17:39, 26 September 2008 (UTC)
