I've listed this article for peer review as I would like to know what grade it currently would receive, it is established as B-Class. Secondly and more importantly I would like to know what further additions or edits would be required to receive GA status.

In the infobox under the map, perhaps write "Location of Steinbach in Manitoba, Canada", for those who don't recognise the map.
The History section is a very nice size. Make sure it's sourced, a couple of paragraphs have sentences at the end without a source.
It may be unnecessary to say the Russian settlement was Milk Colony, it has nothing to do with Steinbach
Join the paragraph above the windmill with the one after it to prevent short paragraphs from existing.
Move the windmill up slightly maybe? It cuts into the next section on my screen.
Perhaps information about liquor can go in another section, maybe health, as it doesn't seem quite pertinent to history.
The Geography section needs to be sourced. There's only two currently, and one is for the weather box.
The Geography section also seems small. Is there any other information that can be found, for example about Geology?
The current Climate subsection, just a table, seems like bad formatting. In my opinion, a section needs substantial text to exist. This means it may be worth either removing that subsection and having it part of the main section, or adding a substantial couple of paragraphs of prose.
The Economy section could use large expansion. Statistics on jobs in each sector, unemployment, etc. would be useful. An expansion on the activities of each sector also wouldn't go astray.
Demographics could use some information about the age of the population.
The Ethnic Origins box currently has "Canadian" as an ethnic origin. Does this mean indigenous people? If so, change the wikilink.
The Government section needs information about what powers the local government has, vs the provincial government. The names of current politicians also would add to it.
The Infrastructure section needs sources. In addition the "Access" subheading seems redundant to infrastructure, and would in my opinion include information about an airport as well (being access). If Health is kept, it needs to be expanded, large hospitals, ambulance fleet if possible.
Education needs to be sourced. Figures on literacy etc. would also be helpful, although I assume its somewhere at 99-100%. What school system is taught? Is it a standardised Manitoban/Canadian system or dictated by school?
Media needs sourcing, and information about other forms of media should be added. Is Television mostly cable? How many households have television/radio? What are the distribution numbers of the newspaper?
Some paragraphs in Sports and Recreation need sources. Information about more recreational activities such as the larger parks in the city would be good.
I'm not sure about "the club is now host to over 260 athletes ranging from 7 to 22 year olds", as it seems odd to lump people from ages 7 to 22 together like that.
In the notable section, perhaps divide between natives and residents, with sources for each person of course.

These are just my opinions, you are free to agree or disagree, but either way I wish you luck. I have this page watchlisted, if anything I said was unclear. I'd rate this a C at the moment, due to the lack of information and sources in some sections, but it's very close to a B. Chipmunkdavis (talk) 13:21, 27 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
