Iowa
Hey, I was ready to get Iowa up to GA status a few months ago, but have been pretty lazy lately. Would you be interested in helping me with that? Also, I can get some coordinates for places I know around the Quad Cities.  C T J F 8 3 Talk 21:05, 27 August 2009 (UTC)
 * To start off, if you wanted to look at User:Ctjf83/Iowa and see suggestions I and other users have for improving it, leaving your own thoughts?  C T J F 8 3 Talk 04:49, 28 August 2009 (UTC)
 * What do you do for coords with multiple locations, like the area codes or Eastern Iowa Community College District?  C T J F 8 3 Talk 05:10, 28 August 2009 (UTC)
 * I agree, I feel they are such huge areas, that a geo coordinate wouldn't work well.  C T J F 8 3 Talk 05:07, 11 September 2009 (UTC)
 * I'm no formating expert, but for Osceola, Iowa I think the infobox and the large number of pictures are getting in the way of the demographics box....actually, yes I just moved down the demographics section, and removed 3 pictures to check, and it looks ok now. Do you think we need all those pictures? If so perhaps a gallery section?  C T J F 8 3 Talk 05:20, 11 September 2009 (UTC)
 * No problem!  C T J F 8 3 Talk 16:47, 11 September 2009 (UTC)
 * What do you think of usingg this address for the location? If not, I can do some research at the library.  C T J F 8 3 Talk 19:05, 16 September 2009 (UTC)
 * If you have a lot of free time, would you mind reading over Davenport, Iowa and doing copy edit before I nominate it for FA? Thanks,  C T J F 8 3 Talk 19:37, 16 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Ok, thank you! No rush at all.  C T J F 8 3 Talk 19:47, 16 September 2009 (UTC)
 * You can make your suggestions on either page, but I'd prefer the Davenport talk, so others can easily see who are also reviewing. As far as Palmer, I guess I use University interchangeably with college, should I change the lead then? As for Quad instead of Quint, from what I understand, Quad just kind of stuck instead of Quint. Thanks again for your help, no rush if you're busy.  C T J F 8 3 Talk 04:10, 21 September 2009 (UTC)
