Sarajevo
I've worked on this article for about 2 months now. I think it's good and could be a featured article... only problem is it's size, but it deals with a historically very important and well documented city, and I think it's comprehensive enough to overcome this. I've just come back from vacation there and can add more pictures later. But before I make a self-nomination for featured article status I'm putting it here to see what concerns people may have. Hopefully you can help me fix any problems. - Asim Led 19:22, 23 Aug 2004 (UTC)
 * Yes, it's greatest objection is likely to be its length. So continue moving material into sub-articles and leave summaries in the article.  Especially the government, communications and media, culture, tourism, and the municipalities sections.  All contain information hard to justify in an overview of a city.  In addition many other facts are included that would be hard to justify as encyclopedic such as the quotations. Also the Historical population section still has some NPOV and grammar troubles, specifically with the sentence "Combined with horrific living conditions forced upon by the besieging forces, the result was...".  I would fix that, but I'm not sure what was supposed to be combined.  There's for starters.  In general, that is an amazing amount of information on a city.  Great work so far. - Taxman 20:00, Aug 23, 2004 (UTC)
 * I like some of the recent work, continue on that path, moving some of the excess detail out. I hope you have maintained it in subarticles.  Removing good info from wikipedia is never good I think.  Also, the sections on historical population need some sort of reference, such as a book or webpage those figures came from.  The 2002 population listed there differs from the figure quoted in the intro section. - Taxman 20:00, Sep 10, 2004 (UTC)
 * For that big hole next to the TOC - you may want to consider adding a city table like the one listed here: WikiProject Cities and used in New York, New York, Chicago, Illinois and Warsaw. Davodd 16:07, Sep 9, 2004 (UTC)
