Comments[edit]

Lead needs to state that it is about the state of Georgia, not the country.

In sections, only the first word of the title should be capitalized.

Decision[edit]

I have decided to put the article on hold for a week. Overall, it's a good article, just needs a bit more work. buff bills 7701 14:58, 8 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Corrections and explanation[edit]

Thanks Buffbills7701 for your review. I have made the changes you requested. I hope they have addressed your concerns. If not, let me know. The reason that "puffery" was linked to "Chamber of Commerce" in this article was because the term "Chamber of Commerce" was used in a derisive context. The intention was to say that the work was not scientific in nature, but promotional, presenting an exaggerated image of the economic geology. That is pretty much a spot-on definition of puffery. But, as you observed, that point was far from obvious. So the sentence has been reworded to better explain the situation. Gulbenk (talk) 01:06, 9 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
