Nashua, New Hampshire[edit]

I think it has a shot at making it to Featured Status, but here's what I see needing to happen before we get there.

  • 2 or 3 more pictures, at least one of a school.
  • Alot more info on the schools(will look into the Wikiproject on Schools with this)
  • Maybe a few more subarticles
  • Perhaps another section (Parks? Local Landmarks? Famous People?)
  • A little more on politics, due to the New Hampshire Primary situation.

What do you all think? Karmafist 00:17, 30 October 2005 (UTC) First Peer Review can be found here[reply]

  • References is one thing (not only because it is a requirement for FA, but also to allow others to verify the article's content). The lists in the education section should be turned into prose. A minor thing I have a problem with is the table of state representatives. I think it is better just to mention how many districts there are since representatives change with each election. Climate and a map of Nashua in New Hampshire can also help. Pentawing 04:48, 30 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
    • Another thing I noticed is the large use of historical images. I would prefer more images of Nashua as it appears today. Pentawing 20:39, 30 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
After glancing at the article here's what I see that is needed:
  • The intro should be at least 2-3 good-sized paragraphs in length.
  • The history section needs expansion. A city with as much history as Nashua has should have a longer section. There should be mention of Native Americans in the area as well.
  • The geography section also needs expansion. Discuss the lay of the land, is it hilly? Flat? Some of this information can be taken from the geography section of the article on the state of New Hampshire.
  • There should be a section on cultural activites in the city. Include music, theatre, literature, any details of that nature.
  • Of the seven images, only two are recent images. There should be many more recent photos. By no means get rid of the older photos, they are great, just show the city as it is now. In addition, vary the size of the photos so they all aren't so small.

You have a great foundation to build a featured article! Bon chance! *Exeunt* Ganymead Dialogue? 23:07, 30 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
