London Borough of Croydon
I've listed this article for peer review because of I need some creative feedback on how to make this article a Good Article and a Featured Article. I have made substantial changes to this article since I've come on Wikipedia and believe that this could be a brilliant article. From the failed GA Review, I've changed most things, such as:


 * Taking off links that are repeated over and over again
 * Changing lists into prose and shortening or getting rid of tables altogether
 * Use full references and reference everything that is questionable or arguable.

Thanks,

It's a good start, but I feel it may need some more work. Otherwise a very exhaustive article. Keep up the good work. -- Chris B  •  talk  16:55, 31 October 2007 (UTC)
 * As it stands now the lead section needs a slight expansion; some parts of article aren't summarised.
 * Remember that all non-free content requires a proper fair use rationale: have a look at Image:Croydoncouncillogo.gif, Image:Choice-fm-logo.gif and Image:Couls purl.jpg. Some of which are used in breach of fair use.
 * The overall layout of images looks somewhat cluttered. Consider making them all consistent by maintaining only the thumb attribute.
 * "Croydon covers an area of 86.52 km²" What's that in miles squared?
 * The article needs additional references. The "Neighbourhoods and areas" section is wholly unreferenced, as is most of the history section.
 * It needs some minor formatting changes: e.g. "Geography and Climate" → "Geography and climate" and so forth. No need for caps.

I think the non-free corporate logos and non-free images of buildings should be removed. Generally, all non-free use images need non-free media rationales to explain why the use is permitted. – Ilse@ 09:20, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
