Hi @Itsjustjody, I've reviewed your GA nomination. If you can take a look through and address what I've found, I'll give it another look. Thank you! -Asheiou  (they/them • talk)  20:13, 4 June 2023 (UTC)


 * awesome. thx. Itsjustjody (talk)  — Preceding undated comment added 20:17, 4 June 2023 (UTC)
 * One more slight thing, I think the article would benefit immensely from an economy section! You can read about what that should entail at WP:USCITY. -Asheiou   (they/them • talk)  21:18, 4 June 2023 (UTC)
 * done Itsjustjody (talk) 16:27, 5 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Hiya, I've updated my review. If you can address the remaining problems, I'll give it another look! -Asheiou   (they/them • talk)  17:16, 5 June 2023 (UTC)
 * sure will. I'll have to convert those bare urls into news refeneces.  btw, is there any easy way to create a climate section?  I tried to create one a long time ago but a got dinged for plagiarism from the weather site I used, so i removed it. Itsjustjody (talk) 18:59, 5 June 2023 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure if there's a simple way of doing it as I'm not familiar with American place articles to that level. You could have a poke around some other articles and see how they did it? -Asheiou   (they/them • talk)  20:43, 5 June 2023 (UTC)
 * I have added a new section on the economy. Itsjustjody (talk)

Hiya @Itsjustjody, if you could provide me a timeframe for when you'll be working on this, I'd be grateful! > Asheiou  (they/them • talk)  18:20, 11 June 2023 (UTC)


 * I work on it everyday. Cleaning up the citations will take sometime as it's confusing to me what citations are bad vs. good.  I really appreciate the help.  Thank you again Itsjustjody (talk) 13:54, 12 June 2023 (UTC)
 * so, you want a citation that explains the J Otis Adams was born in Seymour, for example? Itsjustjody (talk) 13:56, 12 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Yeah I'd appreciate citations for every individual person & radio station listed in the lists at the bottom of the article that says why they're connected to the town. Sorry about my slow response, I've been quite busy! @Itsjustjody > Asheiou   (they/them • talk)  02:36, 16 June 2023 (UTC)
 * will do. taking a few days off to move.  I'll be back at it in july. thanks again Itsjustjody (talk) 03:34, 16 June 2023 (UTC)

I am not going to be able to continue to commit the time to give this GAN the care it deserves, so I've put it up for a second opinion. If the other reviewer would like to finish the review, I would be grateful! > Asheiou  (they/them • talk)  21:04, 4 July 2023 (UTC)

Hi, I'm going to close this as a fail now. There hasn't been any work on sorting the issues since the end of June and as I see it, there are some quite significant issues still to be addressed. The lede, for example, does not summarise the important information in the article and is probably still too short for the length of article. As mentioned, the article is not weighted properly; the geography section is much too short, at least relative to the history section. I'm not too sure why there is a folklore section, this should just be summarised in the history section. There are also lots of sources needed towards the end of the article, an issue which has been pointed out but not addressed. The article still needs plenty of work to be up to GA standard.
