Goals

As Derived from Peer Review:

Add Additional Citations (User:Finetooth^talk, User:Starstriker7^talk)

The original reason that this article was demoted from GA status was because of its clear violations of verifiability guidelines. They can be found at several areas in particular.

•  Not done Government
  •  Not done Neighborhood councils

Additionally, citations could be used in the following areas as well.

•  Not done Citing all the different companies that are located in the economy section, as they can be challenged.
•  Not done Citing the very last paragraph in the religion section
•  Not done Citing the first paragraph in the media section
•  Not done Citing the first paragraph of the sports section

Resolve the Overlinking Problem by Filling It Out (User:Finetooth^talk, User:Dtbohrer^talk)

There are so many links that it has generated a somewhat discouraging sea of blue links.

What Can Be Done?

•  Not done Read through the articles and remove unnecessary links (Ex. aviation, snow, automobile, inches)

•  Not done Remove any links of questionable notability (Especially in the economy section)

•  Not done Add sentences explaining each of the listed "seas of blue" (Especially in the Landmarks section and the Economy section)

•  Not done An overview paragraph for the listed sections would be helpful.
