This is a former Featured Article which I'd like to see upgraded back to GA and then FA. I took a look at the automated suggestions and acted upon some of them although some are not relevant. I'd really appreciate hearing what you think is needed to make this article better.

[edit]

Some first quick comments:

  • This will be a lot of work, but it is also the biggest deficiency to address: the sourcing should be completed, several complete paragraphs are unsourced.
  • There are several single-sentence paragraphs. Where possible, merge or expand them (see Wikipedia:Manual of Style (layout)#Paragraphs).
  • The styling of large numbers is inconsistent. Either write "x million" throughout, with a non-breaking space between the number and million, or write that on first occasion and "xM" everywhere else, without space and capping the M (see Wikipedia:Manual of Style (dates and numbers)#Large numbers). The same applies to billions.
  • Abbreviate units (|abbr=on parameter in the convert template) in the infobox.
  • Move the Commons linkbox from the "See also" section to the "External links" section (see Wikipedia:Manual of Style (layout)#External links).
     Done
  • The first reference contains a Note which (1) is unsourced, (2) would be better placed in a separate Notes section (unless a passage can be found that can be quoted verbatim in a |quote= parameter of a citation). --Rontombontom (talk) 17:43, 13 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
