List of counties in Missouri
This peer review discussion has been closed. I would like to get this list to FL quality. I have put a decent amount of work into it, and would appreciate any feedback that I can use to further improve it. I used List of counties in New York as a model since it is a FL.

 * 1) Wikilink FIPS Code the first time its mentioned.--Diaa abdelmoneim (talk) 15:15, 27 September 2009 (UTC)
 * 2) Update the Population to the 2008 Consensus in the FIPS external links--Diaa abdelmoneim (talk) 15:15, 27 September 2009 (UTC)
 * 3) Compare your list with List of counties in Alabama which was recently featured. --Diaa abdelmoneim (talk) 15:15, 27 September 2009 (UTC)
 * 4) Why is there empty space under the images?--Diaa abdelmoneim (talk) 15:15, 27 September 2009 (UTC)
 * 5) Expand the lead 2X.--Diaa abdelmoneim (talk) 15:15, 27 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Done with 1-5.  JUJUTACULAR  | TALK 23:47, 27 September 2009 (UTC)
 * 1) The Missouri County Labelled Map should have a caption.--Diaa abdelmoneim (talk) 15:15, 27 September 2009 (UTC)
 * You can leave this for later.--Diaa abdelmoneim (talk) 07:27, 28 September 2009 (UTC)
 * 1) Use http://quickfacts.census.gov/qfd/maps/missouri_map.html as a reference for the Population header.--Diaa abdelmoneim (talk) 07:27, 28 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Done  JUJUTACULAR  | TALK 15:37, 28 September 2009 (UTC)
 * 1) The last paragraph in the lead is badly written, please rewrite.--Diaa abdelmoneim (talk) 07:27, 28 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Done I believe it is more concise now, reads better. If there's anything specific I can change, let me know.   JUJUTACULAR  | TALK 16:05, 28 September 2009 (UTC)
 * 1) You have to find information about what the former county names were named for to fulfill the comprehensiveness criteria. If the information is not available add N/A or Unkown or NA ... to the center of the Named for column--Diaa abdelmoneim (talk) 16:24, 28 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Done I checked an additional source, and could not find any additional meanings for the former names. If two web sources and two book sources do not have the information, perhaps it is lost. I have formatted it like you described.  JUJUTACULAR  | TALK 19:14, 28 September 2009 (UTC)
 * 1) Why is it "Named for" and not etymology?--Diaa abdelmoneim (talk) 19:25, 28 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Done This is what was used in List of counties in Alabama, but I agree that 'etymology' should be used for consistency.  JUJUTACULAR  | TALK 20:53, 28 September 2009 (UTC)
 * 1) The etymology header has 4 references. I'm not sure if this is OK because it's not easily verifiable. Only if the reference is used throughout the this column would it be OK to have the reference at the header. However you need to provide inline citations for "Index to Politicians" cause I'm not sure what it's used for, you need to specify the pages you used of the books and provide inline citations as well. After this the list can be nominated for featured status.--Diaa abdelmoneim (talk) 19:25, 28 September 2009 (UTC)
 * "Index to Politicians" was only being used for the etymology information for Audrain County, so I moved the reference there. The other three sources are being used throughout the column. I do not have the book sources on hand (they are in a library that does not allow them to be checked out), but as soon as I can get to them again, I will add the page numbers.
 * Since those three etymology sources (,, and ) are being used throughout the column, do you think that inline citations are necessary? Each of them simply contains a list of the counties with etymology information, and they each say about the same thing.  JUJUTACULAR  | TALK 20:53, 28 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Inline citations are imo necessary for book pages since different book pages are used and it would make it easier to verify the information if the book pages are listed. In any case you can now list the list for FL on FLC since it meets imo the current featured list criteria.--Diaa abdelmoneim (talk) 21:21, 28 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Noted. Thanks for all the help.  JUJUTACULAR  | TALK 21:32, 28 September 2009 (UTC)
