Skopje

This peer review discussion has been closed.
I've listed this article for peer review because… I want the article to be chosen for FA on the main page on Wikipedia, but still has some fixes that should be done. For ex. it has some broken links, too many pictures and etc.

Note to nominator: Due to a shortage of reviewers, peer reviews are being delayed for up to two weeks. It will help to speed things up if you can find time to review one article from the backlog list, which appears on the WP:PR page. Thanks. Brianboulton (talk) 23:44, 21 July 2010 (UTC)

Comments from Niagara

• This article could greatly benefit from a copyedit. See WP:PR/V or WP:COPYEDITORS to contact an editor who would be willing to do one.
• More inline citations are needed. Generally, every quote, every statistic, every extraordinary claim and every paragraph needs a citation.
• Measurement conversions are needed, using {{Convert}} is recommended. For consistenency, the conversions should be either imperial→metric or metric→imperial.
• Generally image galleries are discouraged, as a category on Commons is the best place for excess, relevant images.
• Goes easy on the panoramas, I usually only use one in an article. I prefer the one used directly before the "History" section; using {{Panorama}} on it would be a good idea as well.
• "It was known in the Roman period under the name Scupi."
  • There are instances of both "Scupi" and "Skupi". For consistenency it should be one or the other, also are the italics occiasonally used on "Scupi" needed.
• The "Government" section needs to be expanded. Any details on the national government?
• I'd take that table of churches, choose the most notable ones, and convert it into prose; maybe even work it into a paragraph describing which religions are practiced in Skopje and put in the "Demographics" section.
• Who serves the Skopje Central Railway Station? What destinations?

I can provide more comments / suggestions if you wish, but these are the most obvious issues and / or most problematic and should probably be taken care of first. With some work, this could become featured, but not quite yet. See Category:FA-Class WikiProject Cities articles for a examples of what a featured city article looks like. Consider reviewing an article in the backlog, which is how I found yours. ​​​​​​​​Niagara ​​^{Don't give up the ship} 00:49, 23 July 2010 (UTC)
