The San Francisco Bay Area has its share of FLs, most of them station lists. Here is yet another list that I believe meets the criteria. --Kurykh (talk) 05:28, 17 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

This is my first FLC review, so with that caveat, to me this looks very nice. The only thing I notice is that in ref 3, it says "p. 273, 462." but it should say "pp. 273, 462." (pp for plural) as there is more than one page listed. Consider this a support when that's fixed. PumpkinSky talk 22:41, 19 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Fixed. --Kurykh (talk) 06:42, 20 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Does the list include all the census-designated places in the Bay Area?—Chris!c/t 00:40, 20 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It used to. I took that section out because I thought keeping this list in line with similar ones (which include only municipalities) would make it more useful. Keeping the section would lengthen the article and the title into some unwieldy mess, but adding it back (and subsequently renaming the list) is only a few revisions away. --Kurykh (talk) 06:42, 20 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Ok, it is fine to leave them out then.—Chris!c/t 04:50, 21 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comments
  • Figures in the lead are a little too precise for me. Perhaps "over 7.1 million" and "around 6,900 square miles" or similar? I hate all that last digit "accuracy".
  • Is [1] really needed when you have [2] in place there?
  • "The region is anchored by" what does that actually mean?
  • " Spanish first arrived in the Bay Area in 1769" - repeat of "the Bay Area" in the same sentence, consider a re-word.
  • Don't think we need to link United States...
  • " and forms the 53rd largest urban area in the world." reference please.
  • "numerous census-designated places." - perhaps "numerous other..." as the previous examples were all census-designated, right?
    • Census-designated places are creations of the U.S. Census Bureau. Cities and counties are state entities. --Kurykh (talk) 21:19, 25 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • " while the most recent one was" no need for "one". Nor the "which" after it.
  • Image captions are all weak, tell me what I'm looking at!!
  • Ref 2, ref 8 needs an en-dash or three.
