2007 Greek forest fires edit

I've listed this article for peer review because I would like to see where the article stands. Does it need section expansions, additions, rewriting, further sourcing, etc.? I hoping to atleast take it to a GA and maybe further. Any comment, both automated or from a user would be helpful.

It's an interesting and on the whole well-written article. Some comments...

  • The biggest observation I have is that in many cases it reads like a current event. Examples include "Various countries have responded to the call and have sent help.", "The first fire is still uncontrolled...", "By August 31 there are fires still burning in Arcadia and Laconia." Does this article need a general update now?.
  • There are a number of single line paragraphs, most noticeably in the sections September 2007 and Alleged arson, which would read better if almalgamated into a single paragraph.
  • Does the Consequences section need to be a bulleted list? It would read better as a single piece of prose.
  • The Alleged arson, Consequences and Financial assistance sections might be better amalgamated into a single "Aftermath" section.

Hope these help. --FactotEm 15:33, 7 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

How does it looks now? I haven't implemented all the changes yet, but I just want to know how I'm coming along. El Greco(talk) 16:39, 21 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
