I am nominating this for featured article because it is one of most well-written and encyclopedic geography article on Wikipedia. The article has undergone an extensive overhaul and complete re-write, from top to bottom, for the sole purpose of an FA nomination. Consensus has been reached on the changes instituted in the article. Lastly, I feel the article has improved greatly from "good" status and does meet the standards of an FA.Mmann1988 (talk) 18:21, 6 August 2012 (UTC)

Oppose and suggest withdrawal, as significant work will be required to fix the issues. Sasata (talk) 20:35, 7 August 2012 (UTC)
 * reference problems include presence of bare urls, many deadlinks, and inconsistent formatting throughout
 * several end-of-paragraph sentences are uncited, making it impossible to verify these statements
 * some paragraphs lack citations completely (e.g. 2nd para in "Sports", 3rd para in "Law and government"))
