Here are my comments. Pinging, and  as well, who I feel are interested in this article. Sainsf (talk · contribs) 09:22, 5 June 2016 (UTC)


 * General
 * Someone needs to ensure the sources have been placed as inline citations to what they support. The nominator does not seem to have edited the article at all, and I am not sure who basically wrote what we are reading now. Without someone to interact with directly, this might be difficult work.
 * There may be some close paraphrasing
 * There are a lot of duplicate links. These can be detected and fixed using this tool.
 * Fix this link


 * Etymology
 * The languages need to be wikilinked
 * I think translation to only one language should be enough. Too many translations may add clutter.
 * Source for last line?


 * History
 * Too long, needs subheadings for better navigation. Also, the text appears choppy, paras need to be combined.
 * At a few places some lines appear unsourced, while at a few other places there is some overciting.
 * But their pride was shocked by the indifference with which the Chinese treated them Wording appears a bit too strong.
 * The Dutch Governor Jan Coen said after the defeat  "After the defeat, the Dutch Governor Jan Coen said" would read better
 *  In the most serious Add "riot" after "serious"


 * Executive
 *  Fernando Chui is the current Chief Executive Wording like "current" and "recent" should be avoided, say exactly from which year he has been active. And is the information up to date?
 * Source for the last line?


 * Military
 * Completely unsourced.


 * Geography
 * The two images on the right are creating unnecessary blank space, this needs to be fixed.
 * It also has 41 kilometres (25 mi) of coastline "also" is not needed
 * yet only 310 metres (1,000 ft)  Why "yet"? What is the contrast?
 * Source for the last line?


 * Economy
 * The clothing industry has provided ... Macau government revenue when are these figures of?
 * The World Bank classifies Macau as a high income economy When was this done?
 * Subheadings may be used. Also, there is some choppiness about the section.
 * with over 50% of the arrivals coming from mainland China and another 30% from Hong Kong. Source?
 * Reasons for this fall of revenue are related to the slowdown that the Chinese economy is having officials pursue a corruption crackdown that's confined in lavish spending Meaning?


 * Monetary system
 * which is currently pegged to the Hong Kong dollar  When is "currently"?
 * The name pataca is a Portuguese word  "Pataca" in quotes
 * There are "citation needed" tags.
 * Wikilink escudo


 * Demographics
 * (18,428 persons/km2 in a 2004 projection 47,728/sq mi) Needs to be written properly
 *  According to The World Factbook, Macau has the fourth highest life expectancy in the world Once again we need to know when this data was recorded. Same for 4th para
 * between 2005, 2007 and 2009 Does this mean "between 2005 and 2009"?


 * Education
 * A fifteen-year free education is currently being offered Say since when.
 * Currently, there is only one school in Macau where Portuguese is the medium of instruction. Source? When is "currently"?


 * Health care
 * Some parts are unsourced.
 * "Currently" is used at places.

 * Thanks a lot. I agree this article requires a lot of further work. Again, please don't fail this just yet, I am trying to do some fixing according to your suggestions.  Wishva de Silva  (talk)  08:58, 10 June 2016 (UTC)

You have been given more than a week to fix the issues, but it doesn't seem appreciable work has been done here or can likely be done in a short time so that the nomination passes. I am going to fail this for now, but I hope this is renominated soon, after necessary changes have been made. Sainsf (talk · contribs) 12:35, 18 June 2016 (UTC)
