a Pass/Fail:

Article is a good start, probably even a stub, but I cannot pass it as a Good article. The current public facilities section reads pretty much like a list of the major attractions of the island, with inline citations, but the inline citations mostly point to the item's description on the City of Miami website.

The one photo included in the article is a low-quality arial view of the island from the NOAA, and doesn't really help the reader get a grasp of what the island has to offer or its significance. The current public facilities section can be expanded with further prose and additional photographs to add to the readability and content of the article. You might want to post a request at Wikipedia:Requested pictures for some locals to take photos of the attractions and facilities present on the island.

The article briefly mentions some historical information in the lead, and this could be expanded into a separate history section with details on the island's historical and economical significance. the lead section should summarize the article, which it currently does not.

I am not sure what the purpose of the 'source' section at the very end is for? It contains one external link to an article in the South Florida Business Journal. The information in that article could be used to contribute to the content of this article.

I would recommend reviewing WP:CITE for information on formatting and including inline citations, as well as WP:WIAGA for information on the good article criteria. Hope this review helps! Dr. Cash 07:01, 20 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
