North Sea
This article (about one of the world's most important seas) was recently "Collaboration of the month" over at WP:ACID and thus has seen much improvement. A couple of times now people have requested either a peer review or a GA nomination, and I think a review would be extremely useful for the editors to further spruce up the article.

Thanks,

A few random comments:
 * The lead section is too short to be a proper summary of the article. Someone along the way added another paragraph, and it flows much more smoother than a while back.
 * More citations may be needed in many parts of the article. As an example, the 12-nautical mile territorial claim documented in the "Political status" section.
 * [[Image:Yes check.svg|20px]] In the "Basic data" section, I'd like to have a basis for comparison on the salinity. Could the article list the typical North Atlantic and Mediterranean salinities?
 * Even though the salinity is added above, the Basic Data section has already been updated. SriMesh |  talk  23:41, 2 November 2008 (UTC)

 * I'd like to see the bulleted list in the "Water circulation" section converted into a table so that the reader can more readily compare the flow rates of the different rivers. Right now the rates are not aligned in a column.
 * [[Image:Vraagteken.svg|left|12px]]In the first sentence of the "Coasts" section, shouldn't the jagged coasts be the "eastern" coasts? Why is "East" capitalized (in both locations)? Is it a name?
 * Some measure of the shipping tonnage passing through the sea would be informative (in the "Marine traffic" section) to demonstrate the relative importance of this body of water.

 * "Culture and languages" has a caption for a deleted image.
 * Wherever possible it would be good to show the author, publication date and publisher in the citations. At least three of the citations are empty (7-9), and one (48) is showing a URL rather than the title. Tried to fill out the citations as fully as possible for author, publication date and publisher.  The citations 7-90 and 48 were fixed.
