Suggested FA criteria concern is citations (1c). Marskell 17:57, 14 July 2007 (UTC)

• Remove per 1c. LuciferMorgan 19:35, 15 July 2007 (UTC)
• Keep in mind, the article does contain references, but they are not associated directly with the text. The (1c) criteria clearly states complemented by inline citations where appropriate.. It does not, however, state inline citations are required to meet the criteria. If you are challenging the sources, please advise if you have reviewed any of the references cited in the article.

  • "Construction of the Gautrain Rapid Rail started in October 2006" - all the sources were written before October 2006. This is at least one piece of unsourced infomation and an example of why citations are necessary. These are some other events that occured after the sources were written: "University of Johannesburg was formed on 1 January 2005", "with snowfall having been experienced in August 2006".

• Remove Almost completely uncited (far too much to add cite tags), mixed reference styles, sentences starting with numbers, external jumps, incorrect use of bolding (WP:MOSBOLD), almost no geography content. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 00:02, 24 July 2007 (UTC)
