 * Where are your links?Georgejdorner (talk) 16:28, 14 December 2015 (UTC)
 * I have added them now. Does that work? — Ganeshk (talk) 18:43, 14 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Looks good now. Your reviewer will let you know if anything else is needed.Georgejdorner (talk) 21:18, 14 December 2015 (UTC)

This needs more work as there are at least three problems:
 * Symbol redirect vote 4.svg Full review needed. BlueMoonset (talk) 01:54, 29 December 2015 (UTC)
 * List entries don't count for word count and so a DYK check just gives 646 characters. More prose in the lead would help fix this.
 * The list focusses on particulates but there are other kinds of air pollution such as nitrogen dioxide for which London is a leading city.
 * The hooks generalise even more by talking loosely of pollution, rather specific types of air pollution.

 * I do not have anything additional to add to the lead.
 * I have moved the article to List of most polluted cities in the world by particulate matter concentration.
 * I have adjusted the hooks above.
 * Thanks for the review. — Ganeshk (talk) 04:14, 13 January 2016 (UTC)
