Glasgow
I am submitting this article to become a Featured Article on Wikipedia. I feel that this article is extremely when written and coherant while presenting all the facts in an interesting and engaging fashion. The article has been well validated through a number of references and maintains a NPOV. The page is layed out in a well designed manor and thus makes it easy to navigate. I feel also that Glasgow is a notable city having had a rich and deep history as well as being rich in culture and divercity

 * Oppose: As much as I'd love to see Glasgow as a Featured Article, I don't believe this article is at that point yet. The article is a bit unwieldy (is there really a need for such an in-depth section on districts?), listy in sections and could be a bit more succinct in places. There are whole unreferenced sections; the referencing could be sharpened up. Take a look at some other cities which are FA, like Houston, Cape Town, Vancouver - and a bit closer to home Dundee - and compare their layouts, the material that they cover, referencing and writing style. Glasgow isn't there yet, but with a bit of work, it could be. Thanks Globaltraveller 10:06, 31 August 2007 (UTC)
