Initial review

edit

This a comprehensive, wide-ranging, well-illustrated, article. It should get through WP:WIAGA without too much difficulty this time round. I've have a look at a fair 'sample' of the illustrations and the copyrights appear to be OK. I've still need to check in-line citations and references; and there are a few (but not many) paragraphs without citations, but this might not be too serious - we will see when I get to them.Pyrotec (talk) 14:13, 23 March 2009 (UTC)Reply

  • History - "problems" with references:
  Done
  • Ref 15 -page load error.
  Done
  • Ref 18 - broken link.
  Done
  • Ref 20 - Its not clear what the map in the ref is showing or verifying.
  Done It was to show the path of the tornado relative to Edmonton but i have changed the link.
  • Geography & location
  • What was ref 45 (Famous 5) and ref 46 (common tree species), now ref 46 & 47, are both the same = Famous 5. The second version needs changing.
  Done
  • Infrastructure
  • Ref 90 refers to wikipedia - wikipedia is not a valid reference for wikipedia, so it has to go, but ref 89 is OK.
  Done
  • Ref 94 & 95 are identical, so one ref will serve both in-line citations.
  Done
  • City Life
  • Refs 114 & 115 are broken.
115 worked for me try it again and if it dose not work ill change it other wise i fixed 114.
Currently it is Refs 112 & 113 that are broken.Pyrotec (talk) 17:07, 24 March 2009 (UTC)
  Done
  • Ref 116 is "wrong".
  Done
  • At the end of Culture', a ref is needed for - "Edmonton was named cultural capital of Canada in 2007".
  Done
  • Retail
  • An update is needed for statement - "In 2008, Windermere a power centre is expected to be built".
  Done

It should not have passed quite so easily in that state, as there were serious organizational issues that needed to be fixed. But I made a few edits and I think it's up to par now. Dr. Cash (talk) 14:46, 26 March 2009 (UTC)Reply
