GA Review
The edit link for this section can be used to add comments to the review.''

I will be the GA reviewer for this article. H1nkles (talk) 02:02, 29 May 2009 (UTC)

GA Review Philosophy
When I do an article review I like to provide a Heading-by-Heading breakdown of suggestions for how to make the article better. It is done in good faith as a means to improve the article. It does not necessarily mean that the article is not GA quality, or that the issues listed are keeping it from GA approval. I also undertake minor grammatical and prose edits. After I finish this part of the review I will look at the over arching quality of the article in light of the GA criteria and make my determination as to the overall quality of the article.

Lead
Per WP:LEAD the lead is supposed to be a summary of the article covering all the subjects in the article. The lead is not developed and does not represent a comprehensive summary of the article. This will need to be addressed.

History
I questions comprehensiveness in this section.
 * Is there anything else that can be added here? There is the mention of several notable professions that moved onto the hill, are there some names of notable people who have lived on the hill?
 * What about notable events? Has it been involved in military actions or any other significant historical events?
 * Rainbow Street is used as a reference for this section. It isn't appropriate to use Wikipedia to reference itself.

Location and Architecture
I added a template at the end of the Architecture section. You'll need to reference the information there.

Jabal Amman Residents Association
I think more could be added here as well.
 * One of your references, the Jordan Times, refers to a charity run put on for JARA. This information could be added to the article.

Overall Review
The primary issues with this article is as follows:
 * Comprehensive-There are sections that should be expanded with more information. The article is very short for a GA, and I think more could be added to bolster the article's information.  Suggestions for additional information are listed above.
 * References-Some information needs referencing, the format for the Jordan Times reference needs to be improved, can't cite a WP article, the leaflet should be referenced better, the travel guide will be accepted if its credibility can be substantiated or the information is cross-referenced from another guide/book.
 * Lead-The lead needs to be expanded to summarize all the information in the article.

The prose and photos are fine. It is also stable and has a neutral POV. A lot of work needs to be done to bring this article to GA. I will hold it for one week to see if further work can be done. Happy editing! H1nkles (talk) 15:21, 29 May 2009 (UTC)
 * There has been no action on the article and so I will not promote it at this time. If work can be done on it please renominate it for GA.  H1nkles (talk) 15:01, 5 June 2009 (UTC)
