1. Citations are used sparingly, most information is not verifiable. 2. Sections of the article are not encyclopedic content. "Number plan trivia" includes unnessesary information on numbering plans not directly related to telephone exchanges. This section needs to be more concise, or moved to a new article on numbering plans. 3. The article neglects major facts and details, see 1(b). As referenced in the talk page, the article does not address several major functions of a central office. Information pertaining to central offices is not current.

4. Prose is inconsistent and does not meet wikipedia standards in some sections.

 * Comment - I agree with Teglin. 1. c. and 1. b. criteria aren't met by this article, which needs to be addressed. LuciferMorgan 17:14, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Per above. 1c criterion definitely not met.--Yannismarou 09:01, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
 * And I know noticed the presence of some stubby sections ("Electronic switches") and the prose problems (many one-sentence paragraphs, which indicate an incoherent writing).--Yannismarou 14:13, 19 September 2006 (UTC)


 * Move to FARC, no improvement since FAR initiated, see diff. Sandy 20:17, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

 * Remove per 1(d). → A z a  Toth 22:34, 1 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Remove. Referencing problems and some stubby sections.--Yannismarou 16:34, 3 October 2006 (UTC)

 * Remove no activity following listing. --Peta 05:54, 12 October 2006 (UTC)
