Wikipedia:Peer review/Da Nang/archive1

Da Nang
This peer review discussion has been closed. I've listed this article for peer review after seeing that an editor recently changed its assessment to A-Class without any further comment or explanation. IMO it's definitely not Start-class anymore, but it's not at the level of A-Class for sure. It's been a while since I've made any major contributions on Wikipedia, but, as a major contributor to the article over the years, I figured I'd request peer review to get an idea of how to improve the article, with the aim of eventually raising it to at least GA-Class.

It's way off GA class let alone A class, GA comes before A class. It needs a lot of work throughout, many poorly sourced sections, dubious sourcing in the lower sections in particular. I'd close the peer review for now, a lot of the issues are obvious, I can help you with it over the next few weeks if you like but have a look at something like Aalborg which I recently promoted for what is expected for cities. But it really needs a rewrite from scratch I think and needs an awful lot of work and I'm not sure I want to commit that much time to it without further assistance from the others. If you want to start somewhere:


 * Culture onwards to the end needs sourcing.
 * Convert education, infrastructure and transport into decent prose and avoid bullet points.
 * Try to use google books if you can and avoid some of the shoddy tourist sites if possible throughout.
 * Ensure that every source is adequately filled out with Template:Citation info, publisher, date etc.
 * Administration section could use some chunks of text about the city government and administration
 * Ensure that every paragraph is sourced.
 * A good article on Da Nang should have a fairly detailed section on Landmarks, think temples, theatres. museums, monuments, hotels and restaurants, notable squares/streets etc.

As I say see articles such as Aalborg and Marrakesh for some ideas and also note how books are used and notes. Hope this helps for starters ♦ Dr. Blofeld  20:33, 27 September 2013 (UTC)


 * OK—thanks for taking a look. I agree with your assessment, and I agree that the peer review can be closed. I don't have the time to put into improving the article just yet, but maybe these suggestions can serve as a guideline for future attempts, whether my own or those of another dedicated editor. --dragfyre_ ʞןɐʇ c 15:31, 16 October 2013 (UTC)
