Moscow

My reason for nominating this article is:

  • a. I believe it meets the FA criteria.
  • b. It has been included in the 2006 Wikipedia CD Selection.
  • c. WikiProject Echo has identified Moscow as a foreign language featured article.
  • d. WikiProject Russia has rated it A Class on the Assessment scale.
  • e. It has gone through a peer review. --Hirakawacho 08:30, 16 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Removing  Done --Hirakawacho 11:28, 20 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose for the following reasons...
  • There uncited statements that need to be resolved in the "Sports" and "Leisure and entertainment" sections.
"Sports" section there are citations. "Leisure & Entertainment" can't find citations. --Hirakawacho 12:09, 20 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I changed the wording and found a suitable citation for the last {{cn}} tag (regarding Tretyakovsky Proyezd)  Done. Caknuck 20:56, 20 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you Caknuck for finding citation for Leisure and entertainment section. --Hirakawacho 20:10, 25 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • The "Real Estate and Neighborhoods" section has a number of unnecessary <br /> tags. The opening sentence in this section reads "The Moscow real estate has been increasing a lot the latest years.", which seems awkward, even when you interject "market" in there.
Removed <br /> tags & removed intro sentence (can't think of another one).  Done. --Hirakawacho 12:02, 20 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • The "Moscow tourist attractions" section is a bit of a mess. There's already a link to List of Moscow tourist attractions, so another, similar and barely-formatted list is redundant here.
Replaced with: see List of Moscow tourist attractions  Done. --Hirakawacho 11:56, 20 February 2007 (UTC)--Caknuck 04:24, 17 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

My vote is now Support Caknuck 20:56, 20 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • Oppose Big mess in the tourist attractions section, image gallery should be at the end of the article, if included at all. Still needs some work to get to FA Class. --[|K.Z|] T • V •

Removed the gallary as it was not appropriate having an image gallery in the article.  Done. --Hirakawacho 12:05, 20 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I have done what you asked now change your vote to support. --Hirakawacho 20:05, 25 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Can't find citations.  Done. --Hirakawacho 12:12, 20 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment Hirakawacho, canvassing and spamming other users with notice of an FAC is usually considered bad form. 125.229.98.248 03:49, 18 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    • Thank goodness FA really isn't a vote, or more people would be tempted. Remember folks, it doesn't matter how many supports you get, as long as there's a single object with a good reason, you're not getting featured. You're far better off fixing the complaints than trying to get people to support you. Fieari 03:12, 19 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Opinion; refusing summary style.  Done. --Hirakawacho 12:11, 20 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
My objection stands. Summary style is not optional, it's a wikipedia standard. I cannot support without it. Fieari 19:45, 21 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Please provide relevant rule. --Hirakawacho 20:13, 25 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Objection: I put a good amount of work into this article during the summer of 2006, but the article is far from being featured. I had given up on trying to improve the article, for various reasons, and I don't think anyone has since put some effort into taking care of the rest. The prose is far from compelling in many locations – "Primary industries in Moscow include the chemical, metallurgy, food, textile, furniture, and machinery industries.", "1.73 million are employed by the state, 4.42 million are employed by private companies, and 1.99 million are employed by small businesses.", "It is now a more fashionable area than it was before and home to embassies and the Moscow Zoo." There are also large portions of the article without inline citations. Please think twice before adding the {{done}} template below my objection; it would take an act of nature to address the serious issues with this article in a short period of time. -- tariqabjotu 02:32, 21 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Support Great article. General Eisenhower • (at war or at peace) (at war here (screams in the background)) 21:53, 21 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
