British or American English?
The article is written with American English spelling. Is this on purpose? Should we adhere to that? Is there a reason to pick British English over American English?

I think most pages related to software, or computer science in general, are written in American English, so keep it that way. Jarvix (talk) 14:46, 13 October 2013 (UTC)

Full article review to prevent a G11
As I posted in the article, this article will be removed from Wikipedia as G11, the promotion of a product. This article needs some parts changed. That is, so far as I can think of at the time:

Furthermore, references to other sections should be removed, they are stupid: 'As noted before' etc. They make scanning an article impossible.
 * Remove all contents of the publicity section, and only put there the publicity it got from other instances, and thus not publicity made by itself. Possibly add some of the referenced documents and pages in Further Reading. Might help: http://www.informatik.uni-trier.de/~ley/pers/hd/w/Wettel:Richard
 * Remove refs in titles of sections, they should thus also be rewritten.
 * Remove the experiment, it does not add any value to the page. Instead, add a section about CodeCity being started as a research project and explain, globally, what happened. Now, it is just clutter and promotion.
 * In the Examples section, elaborate more on the code it represents and why the result is what it is.
 * Unlist the supported languages in Features, they clutter and draw too much attention due to the liststyle.
 * Add the appropriate categories.
 * At the start of the Age Map section, an assumption is made about the readers knowledge of Age Maps. Fix this: explain Age Maps before showing how it is visualized by CC.
 * Showing the abbreviations in Structure is useless if these abbreviations are not further used in the section. It is clutter and reads like a manual.
 * Do not talk of 'support' in Features, but instead talk about what the software can do.
 * Remove the abbreviations for lines of code, etc in Features, they are useless and clutter.
 * In Further Reading, Why would anyone be interested in posters? In an encyclopedia?
 * Made the reflist have multiple columns.
 * Use correct citation templates Citation_templates
