 * The following suggestions were generated by a semi-automatic javascript program. They may or may not be accurate for the article in question (due to possible javascript errors/uniqueness of articles). If the following suggestions are completely incorrect about the article, please drop a note on my talk page.


 * Please expand the lead to conform with guidelines at WP:LEAD. The article should have an appropriate number of paragraphs as is shown on WP:LEAD, and should adequately summarize the article. (please restore the lead to this version, User:Civil Engineer III and I have discussed this before)


 * Per WP:MOSNUM, there should be a no-break space -  between a number and the unit of measurement. For example, instead of 18mm, use 18 mm, which when you are editing the page, should look like: 18&amp;nbsp;mm.


 * Per WP:MOSNUM, please spell out source units of measurements in text; for example, "the Moon is 380,000 kilometres (240,000 mi) from Earth.


 * Generally, trivia sections are looked down upon; please either remove the trivia section or incorporate any important facts into the rest of the article.


 * Please alphabetize the categories and interlanguage links.


 * Per WP:WIAFA, this article's table of contents (ToC) maybe too long- consider shrinking it down by merging short sections or using a proper system of daughter pages as per WP:SS.


 * Per WP:CONTEXT and WP:BTW, years with full dates should be linked; for example, link January 15, 2006, but do not link January 2006.


 * Please ensure that the article has gone through a thorough copyediting so that the it exemplifies some of Wikipedia's best work. See also User:Tony1/How to satisfy Criterion 2a.
 * You may wish to browse through User:AndyZ/Suggestions (and the javascript checklist; see the last paragraph in the lead) for further ideas.
 * As for my rating, I would say B-class. The history section especially worries me because the assassination of Governor William J. Goebel is given way too much discussion as opposed to the history of the state; Suggest moving some of this information to History of Kentucky. “Transportation” is a section-stub and should be expanded. I also don’t see a need for “15 largest Kentucky cities, 2010 Projected” and the other table; it’s really listy and would better belong on another subpage. “Interesting facts about Kentucky” should be prosified and removed eventually, with all important facts merged with the rest of the article.
