Potomac River

The article for the Potomac River is an overall "good article" but it is missing content in many important areas including the sections on its history and its various tributaries and segments. The article is also lacking cohesiveness throughout. Because the North and South Branches of the Potomac River are intregal parts of the river and the watershed, the editors and contributors have decided to keep these branches as part of the main Potomac River article. For this reason, I've nominated the article to find better ways of weaving these sections into the article more harmoniously. Finally, I've nominated this article as a way to look for other ideas and opinions for improving it to become "featured status". The Potomac River is known as "The Nation's River" and shares an important place in the history of the United States. I look forward to the findings of other editors. --Caponer 21:14, 20 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

One issue: why is the non-breaking space use only for kilometers and not miles? Also, per WP:CONTEXT, the years without full dates should not be linked. For WP:FAC, the article requires references (External links by definition are not sources) and inline citations. Thanks, AndyZ 22:12, 20 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The long series of sections with similar names is confusing.
If a section is a list, it should be obvious from the TOC
The Floattrips(what is that??) table is weird-looking. Isn't the Wikitable class sufficient??

Article is probably long enough to warrant a two-paragraph lead. youngamerican (talk) 19:09, 25 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
