History of Evansville, Indiana

 * Nominator(s): YHoshua (talk) 13:59, 10 May 2012 (UTC)

I am nominating this for featured article because it meets all of the featured article criteria and would be a nice addition in the FA portfolio. YHoshua (talk) 13:59, 10 May 2012 (UTC)


 * There are a number of issues here, for example, several uncited paragraphs and a very short lead. I'm not sure that a featured article nomination is the right step here. I'd suggest withdrawing and going for good article or a peer review first. Mark Arsten (talk) 17:42, 10 May 2012 (UTC)
 * I concur with Mark Arsten. As well as the referencing issue, there are smaller MOS problems which would hopefully be ironed out at GAC or peer review; for instance, the unecessarily capitalised section titles (also, avoid in/definite articles) and unitalicised publications names (Courier, for instance).

 * Oppose early nomination. It's not ready yet. I concur with the above. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 23:24, 11 May 2012 (UTC)
