Wikipedia:Peer review/Sheffield/archive1

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This peer review discussion has been closed.
I've listed this article for peer review because it used to be a featured article, and was removed in 2009. I've read through the article and personally, cannot see any issues. There was one citation needed tag, which I added a source for. I personally feel the article is ready to be a featured article again, but obviously I need some more opinions!

Comments from Niagara

Governance

  • "...gained the council from NOC..."
    • Spell out "NOC"

 Done

  • "...during the 1980s administration under David Blunkett..."
    • What position did Blunkett hold?

 Done - Changed the sentence to make this clear.

Geography

  • I'd recommend using {{Panorama}} for the panorama of Sheffield.

 Done

  • "...across the city.[34][3]"
    • When more than one citation is used concurrently, make sure the are ordered from lowest to highest. ([3][34])

 Done

  • "and, according to Sheffield City Council, it is England's greenest city,[37] a claim that was reinforced when it won the 2005 Entente Florale competition."
    • Sentence fragment, also it might be good to move this claim up near the claim of being the European city with the most "trees per person".

 Done - moved up to the section suggested.

  • "...off NE England..."
    • Spell out NE; same goes for "SW England"

 Done

  • "5,798,361 tonnes"
    • Link the unit,  Done also, see about providing a conversion to tons.  Not done
Not completely sure what is meant by the conversion, or how I would go about this.
In short, the equivalent of a "tonne" in the US is a "ton"; one "tonne" is equal to ~1.102 "tons". {{Convert}} is able to handle this easily. ​​​​​​​​Niagara ​​Don't give up the ship 02:46, 15 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

 Done - works much better

Economy

  • "60 MW"
    • Link and spell out "MW"

 Done

Transportation

  • "...city to London via the East Midlands,"
    • Is the emphasis on "via" needed?

 Done - no it wasn't.

  • Is their a better photo of the Sheffield railway station? Frankly, I'm not sure what, exactly, it shows.

 Doing... - I will take a new picture when possible (I have just invested in a new camera). It shows the station at night, which is clear to me, but, understandably, not to others.

If you are not able to get a better photo, there are a some interior and platform photos in the station's article that will work just as well. ​​​​​​​​Niagara ​​Don't give up the ship 02:46, 15 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Culture and attractions

  • "...a 24hr service..."
    • Spell out "24h"

 Done

Twin towns and sister cities

  • Is their any particular reason why the flag of Kashmir is used as the identifier for Kotli, Pakistan, when the other twin towns and sister cities use a national flag?

 Done - I think this was because Kashmir has a strange political situation, but done, as it is part of Pakistan.

Understandable, I take it that this would be the same reason Kashmir is the only the political subdivision included in the list. ​​​​​​​​Niagara ​​Don't give up the ship 02:46, 15 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • "Two roads in Sheffield have been named after sister cities. A section of the Sheffield Parkway in Norton is named Bochum Parkway, and a road in Hackenthorpe is named Donetsk Way."
    • Use a colon between the two sentences, instead of a full-stop.

 Done

Interesting and well-written article; I could see this becoming an FA. Consider reviewing an article in the backlog, which is how I found yours. ​​​​​​​​Niagara ​​Don't give up the ship 00:53, 14 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
