Thank you for nominating this article. No disamb. or invalid external links.

  1. Is it reasonably well written?
    A (prose):
    "Capital Bikeshare replaced SmartBike DC" - this is vague and could mean a number of different things.
    More wikilinks - United States Department of Transportation, Virginia Department of Rail and Public Transportation, etc.
    B. MoS compliance for lead, layout, words to watch, fiction, and lists:
    Expand lead to include current tennants.
  2. Is it factually accurate and verifiable?
    A. References to sources:
    B. Citation of reliable sources where necessary:
    Fn 2, 4, 12, 15 and 16 need publishers. Fn. 17 needs an access date.
    C. No original research:
  3. Is it broad in its coverage?
    A. Major aspects:
    Explain why DC area would be ripe for such a service. For example, is it because of a pre-existing network of bike routes as well as bike-friendly public transportation? There must be some sources which address this.
    Explain who "owns" CABi? If it is controlled by a Board, how is the Board selected and what is its size:?
    "The program was a public-private partnership between the District of Columbia Department of Transportation and the advertising firm Clear Channel Outdoor." - from the SmartBike article. Can we make a similar statement about CaBi?
    Explain who will pay the ongoing subsidy after the grant runs out.
    Have there been any follow up news stories documenting public acceptance?
    B. Focused:
  4. Is it neutral?
    Fair representation without bias:
  5. Is it stable?
    No edit wars, etc:
    No edit wars.
  6. Does it contain images to illustrate the topic?
    A. Images are copyright tagged, and non-free images have fair use rationales:
    File:CapitalBikeshare Logo.jpg - your fair use rationale is adequate. But it is not clear to me who actually owns CaBi, and if it is a federal agency, this may be a free image under a different rationale.
    B. Images are provided where possible and appropriate, with suitable captions:
  7. Overall:
    Pass or Fail:
    This article represents significant work by its author, but a few points need further work. Putting review on hold for you to address concerns. Racepacket (talk) 22:25, 13 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
