Wikipedia:Peer review/List of minimum wages by country/archive1

This peer review discussion has been closed.
I've listed this article for peer review because… I'm planning a labor-intensive update to and expansion of the data in the list, and I'm looking for input early in the process so that the finished product will be more polished. I'm also thinking of nominating the list for featured article status if people think it has a good shot at achieving it without too much extra revision beyond what I'm already planning. I've begun the update process on a subpage of my user page. I'd appreciate any comments, suggestions, criticisms, etc. that people may have about the changes I'm making. So far I've completed updates to Afghanistan through Belarus, though I don't mind going back to touch up those entries if there are good suggestions for improvement.

Comments

  • This is not a candidate for featured article, perhaps it would be better to think about WP:FLC.
  • We no longer start lists with "The list below..."
  • Lead is brief and each paragraph is quite short. I would encourage you to beef it up a little.
  • If the table is initially intended to sort by Country, then something is out of order since when I click on the Country col heading, it re-sorts...
  • What's the difference between N/A and en-dash in the table? Shouldn't "none" sort as zero?
  • Greece has no %GDP per capita value.
  • "886,50Turkish new lira" should be a space here, and what do you mean by 886,50? Do you really mean 88,650? or 886.50?
  • Macedonia "Effective" sorts out of order.
  • Table needs to comply with MOS:DTT (part of WP:ACCESS which makes use of col and row scopes for screen readers).
  • Refs are a mess:
    • Bare URLs should go.
    • Consistent date formats are required throughout the refs.
    • No SHOUTING required in refs.
    • Non-English refs should have their language noted.
    • Titles should comply with WP:DASH.
    • Several refs are actually footnotes and should have their own section.
    • Refs should have, as a minimum, title, publisher and accessdate, also publication date, author, page number, work etc where possible.
  • Some working weeks are longer than others, what is the source for this?
  • SMIC is a dab link.
