This peer review discussion has been closed. I've listed this article for peer review because…I know I've got a while to go with adding some references and expanding the lead, but I'd like some feedback on what I can do to make this a featured list.

 * Firstly, well done. You have no idea how refreshing it is to see a list on Wikipedia that's well written, well presented, well sourced and about a worthy topic. I hate listcruft. Now the suggestions:
 * In the first map, what do the different colours mean?
 * The second paragraph is a bit awkward. It seems to contain a lot of trivia and the sentences are often clunky. That shouldn't take much to fix though.
 * The second paragraph has a lot of bluelinks, a fact the bot has already noticed. Since they're mainly place names that should be linked, there's not an awful lot you can do about it. Maybe try to separate them, or delink some of them if they appear somewhere else in the article.
 * Sometimes the word "county" has a capital C, other times not. You should pick one and stick with it. (I'm talking about "county" appearing on its own, not as part of a name of a county)
 * I was going to say something about the lead, but you seem to know all about it.

This is, in my opinion, not terribly far from featured list quality. Well done. I hope my suggestions help. Reyk YO!  07:40, 2 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the comments! (Though I didn't write the list, I just want it featured). I don't know what the colors mean; that was what was there before, and I couldn't find a map without them to repalce it. I can take care of the rest as soon as I can. Thanks!

 * Hey. I didn't start the article, but I did do the table the way it looks now awhile back. An anon user was the one to add the at a glance stuff and the colored map(I had the population map up there). You can find a couple non colored county maps at commons:Category:Maps of Indiana.  I think the colors represent regions, you can find at Geography of Indiana. Anyways, with a little work it can no doubt be featured, I did most of the work on List of counties in Texas which is featured. And you can find more at WikiProject U.S. counties/county lists.  :)   Joe   I  15:01, 26 January 2009 (UTC)
