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


 * GA review (see here for criteria)


 * 1) It is reasonably well written.
 * a (prose): b (MoS):
 * 1) *Note the difference between a hyphen (-), an endash (–) and an emdash (&mdash;). (fixed)
 * 2) **I'm not very familiar with these rules in English and the person who did the peer review fixed this (apparently incorrectly).
 * 3) ***Hardly anyone knows this, except MoS-freaks and typographers. You are probably now the only one on the block.
 * 4) *It was initially a bit unclear whether there are three separate election, or one simultaneous one, but the text explained it later, and I rephrased as sentence. (fixed)
 * 5) *Ideally, accessdate dates should be written out (e.g. ) instead of using ISO-dates, but this is by far not a GA requirement.
 * 6) **Interesting, I didn't know that. I've used the ISO style since I started editing Wikipedia, since I found it in many articles and it was the most convenient for me.
 * 7) ***I also did until a few weeks ago ;) This is mainly due to the removing of the autoformatting of dates in the templates.
 * 8) *I feel there could be somewhat more use of commas, but I tend to find that I prefer more commas than most editors; I guess it is a matter of taste. No more action needed during GA review.
 * 9) *Why does the sentence: "However, it is, as of 2009, navigable only up to Rugvica, leaving Zaprešić with no possibility of river transport." state as of 2009? Could it be better explained, i.e., when did it/will it have river transport.
 * 10) **This was intended to be a figure of speech to avoid saying "currently". However, there are plans of extending the navigability of Sava to central Zagreb, but that would not affect Zaprešić or its surroundings.
 * 11) *The USD is rather volatile these days; would it not be better (and geographically more correct) to convert the euro? Personally, when I write Norway-related aricles, I do not convert to any oth currency. People reading the article will be using a host of native currencies, and they will typically only use the indicated currency as an intermediate, thus potentially creating wrong values. Denote all currencies with their ISO-codes. (fixed)
 * 12) **I thought about suing $ instead of €, because the dollar is the most widely used currency in the English world and no English-speaking country uses euro. However, I'll remove it as I see your point. If you feel like including the euro, http://www.xe.com/ucc is a good site I've been using.
 * 13) *"Zaprešić has a rich cultural heritage" is a very vauge claim; though supported by the following remarks, it is a bit POV.
 * 14) **Rephrased.
 * 15) *I have removed some sentences that are very redundant, such as "Jelačić is not the only notable historic inhabitant of Zaprešić." They add nothing to the article, but increase reading time.
 * 16) **I intended these to help the transition between various aspects of a section, but it does indeed add a more story-like feel to the article.
 * 17) ***In a non-encyclopedia it would have been great; especially the one mentioned.
 * 18) *There are a few instances of terms linked several times. (fixed)
 * 19) **I took care of it prior to listing it for GA review, but as the main contributor I know the text almost by heart, so I tend to continually skip some issues.
 * 20) It is factually accurate and verifiable.
 * a (references): b (citations to reliable sources):  c (OR):
 * Ref 44 (the tram) is dead (404). It would be best to find a new url for it.
 * I found a new URL, but I'm not sure whether it's a permalink (maybe the website periodically moves files). I'll check the link in a week or two and link to the main list of bus lines if it dies again.
 * That will be fine. Stuff like this often changes all the time.
 * 1) It is broad in its coverage.
 * a (major aspects): b (focused):
 * 1) It follows the neutral point of view policy.
 * Fair representation without bias:
 * 1) It is stable.
 * No edit wars etc.:
 * 1) It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate.
 * a (images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):
 * 1) Overall:
 * Pass/Fail:
 * Article placed on hold. A few things to fix up, and the article will pass without any problems. Do not hesitate if you have any questions or comments. On a personal note, I wonder if I actually have been to the town. I was traveling north of Zagreb, visiting some villages on the Slovenian border, and we stopped to do some shopping in a town up there. One of the images looks familiar, but it is rather vauge, so I honestly do not know. Anyway, a very well-written article, only a few picky things (much better than the host of stuff that gets nominated by first-time nominators to GA). Arsenikk (talk)  20:13, 14 February 2009 (UTC)
 * You were probably in Zaprešić or you might have been to Brdovec. However, Brdovec has a more village-like feel, lacking a city square and other amenities, although it has 10,000 inhabitants. Regarding the quality of the article, I have to thank User:Finetooth for the peer review which fixed many problems I had overlooked. Admiral Norton (talk) 20:10, 15 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Looks great. Congratulations with a good article! Arsenikk (talk)  20:46, 15 February 2009 (UTC)
