^{This article has been reviewed as part of Wikipedia:WikiProject Good articles/Project quality task force in an effort to ensure all listed Good articles continue to meet the Good article criteria. In reviewing the article, I have found there are some issues that may need to be addressed.}

1 Image:Arms-norfolk.jpg needs a fair use rationale.
2 Main articles shouldn't contain long lists. I recommend copying the People of Norfolk section to List of people from Norfolk, and then creating a section in this article consisting of prose about Norfolk's most notable residents. Each resident will need an inline citation.
3 The education section need citations throughout.
4 References should state the author, publisher, publishing date and access date if known.
5 Please provide citations for these statements:
- 6 "Rural parts of the county, notably the area around Burnham Market, are also popular locations for city dwellers to purchase weekend homes."
- 7 "By the 5th century the Angles, for whom East Anglia and England itself are named, had established control of the region and later became the "north folk" and the "south folk", hence, "Norfolk" and "Suffolk"."
- 8 "Migration into East Anglia must have been high, as by the time of the Conquest and Domesday Book survey, it was one of the most densely populated parts of the British Isles."
- 9 "During the English Civil War Norfolk was largely Parliamentarian. The economy and agriculture of the region declined somewhat, and during the industrial revolution Norfolk developed little industry and was a late addition to the railway network."
- 10 "The first development in airfields came with the First World War; there was then a massive expansion during the Second World War with the growth of the Royal Air Force and the influx of the American USAAF 8th Air Force which operated from many Norfolk airfields."
- 11 "The Norfolk Dialect also known as "Broad Norfolk" is the accent/dialect of people living in Norfolk, although over the modern age, a lot of the vocabulary and phrases have died out due to a number of factors such as radio, TV and people from other parts of the country coming to Norfolk."
- 12 "the traditional nickname for people from Norfolk is 'Norfolk Dumpling' or 'Norfolk Pudden'"
- 13 "More cutting, perhaps, was the formerly-used pejorative medical term "Normal for Norfolk", now discredited, the use of which is banned by the profession."

I will check back in no less than seven days. If progress is being made and issues are addressed, the article will remain listed as a Good article. Otherwise, it may be delisted (such a decision may be challenged through WP:GA/R). If improved after it has been delisted, it may be nominated at WP:GAC. Feel free to drop a message on my talk page if you have any questions. Regards, Epbr123 12:19, 19 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

As no improvements have been made in the past two weeks, I'm afraid I've had to delist the article. Epbr123 16:56, 8 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
