Expo '88 edit

This peer review discussion has been closed.
I've listed this article for peer review because this is a current B level article and I would like to see this progress through to FA status. I'm aware that inline citations are an issue with this article, however I would like some reviews on what is missing to make this a more complete article.

I've made some changes to the article since the automated peer review listed above so would appreciate any comments you may have. Thanks. Nicholas Perkins (TC) 13:48, 22 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Here are some comments:

  • There are a lot of unreferenced statements that should have inline reference (some whole sections don't have references). This is critical if you want to get the article to GA status
  • The few references you have need to be properly formatted
  • The statement "During Expo the park was filled with 90 sculptures, one of the largest and most prestigous displays the country had ever hosted" seems a little subjective. How does one define something as the most prestigous?
  • The lead section could be expanded a little bit to include a summary of some of the details about the fair (number attending, events, etc)
  • I don't feel that the USSR stamp adds much to the article, especially since it does not pertain to the text it is placed next to. Perhaps you can use a more relevant picture from the gallery for this section.
  • One source of more infomation might be old newspaper articles. I just did a quick search for Expo 88 on the New York Times archives (which are now free for those published after 1987) and there were some articles that came up. If you are in Australia (or have access to old news reports from there) you might have even better source options.

Good luck. Biomedeng (talk) 20:24, 1 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
