Hello. I am afraid I am going to have to fail this article's GA nomination. There are quite a few issues with this article that prevent it from being a GA. Here is a list of things to work on before renominating the article for GAN:

• The biggest issue is references. Many sections partially or completely lack references. There are references needed banners dating as far back as May 2008; these banners are grounds for a GAN quick-fail in their own right.
• Web references need to be properly formatted with titles, publishers and access dates at the very least.
• There is an expansion needed banner on the government section dating from March 2009.
• The lead needs to be expanded. For an article of this length two or three solid paragraphs are appropriate. They should summarize the entire article without including new information.
• There are several dead linking references, see here
• The bulleted list in the Parks and recreation section should probably be turned into prose, or at least have prose added to the section.

These are just the things I saw in a quick look through the article. I have not done a thorough review of the GA criteria, most notably prose and images, and so further issues may exist with these or other criteria. I am not watchlisting this page, so please let me know on my talk page if you have any questions about this review. Dana boomer (talk) 01:28, 20 November 2009 (UTC)
