Good article on an important topic in human geography. 70.57.82.114 03:49, 22 August 2005 (UTC)
- Object. It needs sources, the copyright of the images needs to be clear. Zscout370 (Sound Off) 03:54, 22 August 2005 (UTC)
- Comment, good article, may be a tad too short, but does indeed need sources. Phoenix2 05:01, August 22, 2005 (UTC)
- Object. As Phoenix2 said, it is well written and a very interesting subject, but a little short. Detailed summaries of stage 1 and 4 (to me the most interesting stages) are necessary. At the moment it simply covers the process of the transition, are there many theories related to it? Are there any examples counter to it? Any cultural references to it? Does the theory have a history? (an example containing no truth: "The works of Aristotle contain the first known reference to a notion of 'cultural transition'"). --Oldak Quill 12:06, 22 August 2005 (UTC)
- VICIOUSLY STRONG OBJECT. This article does a pretty crummy job for a FA. There's almost no description of anything important. And there's no way that an article can possibly be feautured if it doesn't include all the important parts (1, 4)... and the sections on 2 and 3 are too short. There's also no description or even a mention of stage 5 (which Russia is entering), where population starts to decrease because of an ever-lowering birth rate (and as the population ages, a corresponding rise in the death rate). No way in the world should this come within a mile of FA status as written. --Matt Yeager 23:37, August 22, 2005 (UTC)
- Object. Detail stage 1 and 4 like you did stage 2 and 3. I'd also like to hear about this stage 5 that Matt there says exists. Way too short to cover a topic that's as important as you say it is. Also, I see there's been no discussion on the talk page at all... seems pretty odd for an article wanting to be an FA. Has this gone through peer review at all? Give that a shot before nominating something, please. I know it doesn't always help, but it could have at least caught the fact that you really need more sections. Fieari 21:18, August 24, 2005 (UTC)
