Article is a bit out of date, and can use a lick of paint meet the GA standards

Quite a few 2005-2010 stats (higher education)
one failed verification tag
Not a GA issue, but a lot of WP:SANDWICHING
Undue emphasis on crime
Uncited: "There is a sizable Islamic community in Albany.." Femke (alt) (talk) 07:45, 10 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

A few comments:

The two panoramic skyline images should be stacked.
There are three maps in the infobox. Is the fourth map in the geography section needed?
Regarding the two photos in the "festivals" section. Neither shows much of the city, and are close-ups of people. I looked for a wider image of the pride parade online, but no luck. As for the Tulip Festival, may I suggest the image posted here replace it (there are several others on the Commons).
In the education section, is this sentence necessary: "Although considered by the state to be one of the lowest-achieving high schools in New York, Albany High was listed as the nation's 976th best high school in a 2010 Newsweek/Washington Post report." Being 976th isn't really notable, and the data is 13 years old.
Would this photo be of any use?

Thank you. Magnolia677 (talk) 10:45, 10 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Magnolia, thanks for working on the article! I agree that the two skyline images would bettter be stacked, and the fourth map can be deleted. No opinion on festivals. That education sentence is not clear and outdated, so can be removed. The museums section already has a picture of a buildingin the same style, so the Flickr photo isn't needed really. —Femke 🐦 (talk) 07:32, 11 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! As the main author back then and the GA nominator, I appreciate getting the heads up on the review. I'm going to take a read through and toss in some responses and other comments. You'll notice I don't edit much anymore (though I do use regularly), but I'm definitely interested in sprucing this up to keep the status. I'll be sure to respond to specific comments (especially if there is past context on the "why") and add my own. There are definitely some improvements I could see being applied already.
