Comment: Please remove all the external links from the 'Projects' and 'Additional Articles and Sources' sections, these are not allowed. Convert to referencing where relevant. In any case, the first of those sections is too long, and should only include the most notable items, if any. The latter is a non-standard section, and should probably be removed altogether.
