Stoke-on-Trent
The article is well-written so far, and has potential to become a Featured article candidate. I would like to get it on the Main Page soon. If anyone could help me, that would be good. --Sunfazer | Talk 11:37, 14 May 2006 (UTC)


 * Some suggestions:
 * The article needs references- see WP:CITE and WP:V. Inline citations- WP:FOOTNOTEs- are also required for featured articles.
 * Please alphabetize the categories
 * See WP:CITY for city article guidelines; while you are there, browse through some of the already-featured cities.
 * Condense the paragraphs in the lead. See WP:LEAD for the number of paragraph suggestions.
 * Only years with full date should be linked generally- see WP:MOSDATE and WP:CONTEXT

 * It's already had some changes made! --Sunfazer | Talk 14:57, 14 May 2006 (UTC)

I think there's a fair way to go before this article reaches featured standard. Some points: Hope this helps. Oldelpaso 17:43, 14 May 2006 (UTC)
 * The history section is quite short and has large gaps chronology wise. I'm not sure that the passage about the mayor's car registration is particularly encyclopedic.
 * You can get Staffordshire oatcakes in much of Cheshire, so it is incorrect to say that their "fame has yet to travel outside of North Staffordshire".
 * Things like geography, climate and demographics should be added.
 * The "Famous people" section should go. Any particularly notable people should be mentioned in the relevant part of the article (such as Stanley Matthews when sport is mentioned).
