Frederick Law Olmsted[edit]

I've listed this article for peer review because Olmsted is an important figure in urban planning, landscape architecture and other fields. I'd like to some outside opinions as to what I or someone else could do to improve this article.


Thanks,

Review by Chris.B[edit]

Nice, instresting article. Just some things:

  • There is either a glaring typo in the second sentence or I suffering from a severe bout of vision deficiency. "Other projects" I would say.
  • The article is obviously referenced, but still requires inline citations.
  • No need to link individual years like 1895.
  • There are a couple of stray citations in the "Academic campuses designed by Olmsted and sons" and "Other notable Olmsted commissions" that need formatting.
  • The popular culture section is basically trivia. It might be a good idea to remove it altogether or integrate it.
  • Book sources require page numbers.

That's about it. Hope that helps. -- Chris Btalk 17:20, 31 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
