Looks excellent, shall review it. -- smaro jit  HD 12:05, 9 August 2013 (UTC)
 * I contributed to this article, so I will be available to assist in the review. QatarStarsLeague (talk) 16:45, 9 August 2013 (UTC)


 * Lead
 * " It is situated close to the Portuguese border, on the left bank of the river Guadiana, and the Madrid–Lisbon railway." This is not my area of expertise, but "..the Madrid-Lisbon railway" doesn't seem quite right.
 * Yes, the railway between Madrid and Lisbon.


 * Does the cathedral mentioned here refer to the Badajoz Cathedral? If so, please name it.
 * History


 * I would wikilink Extremadura.


 * Would also link the reference to the Moors and the "see".


 * "Their victory forced the king of Portugal to desert the city and it fell into neglect." No citation present.
 * " It's a bit odd that "In 1694, the Hospital de San Sebastián was founded" is mentioned immediately after this sentence: "In 1640 the city was attacked during the Portuguese Restoration War."
 * Don't think "freak floods" is a very encyclopaedic phrase.


 * Geography and climate
 * More citations needed for the first two paragraphs of this section.


 * Demographics
 * No citation provided for the 2010 census.


 * Economy
 * What is the A-5? Some explanation needed.
 * Not sure why the presence of a water and leisure park is mentioned in this section.
 * Because it's a significant tourist attraction, quite important to the economy.


 * Notable landmarks
 * I assume that the cathedral referred to in the first paragraph is the Badajoz Catheral. Also, isn't the mosque mentioned the Badajoz Alcazaba? Please mention the names, and wikilink them.
 * What's the "Casa Álvarez-Buiza"? Is it a private house too?
 * Yup.


 * Culture and education
 * Is there more information on the ""Feria de San Juan"? It currently mentioned that it "also includes bull fights". What else does it include?


 * Transport
 * "Badajoz Railway Station, Spanish: Estación de Tren de Badajoz, (IATA: BQZ), s" does not follow the format used for other translations. Needs to be consistent.


 * References
 * The online refs 102 and 103 are dead. Please replace them.


 * I don't see any more problems as of now. Good job. Let me know when these issues have been addressed. -- smaro jit  HD 04:21, 11 August 2013 (UTC)
