GA Review[edit]

This review is transcluded from Talk:Roosevelt Community Library/GA1. The edit link for this section can be used to add comments to the review.

The article does not meet the Good Article criteria at the present time. It is still generally too short, and there are issues with primarily with criterion #3 (broadness). The article is not very well organized, either, with many short sections, and several subsections under 'Outlook 2010 options' which really just spit back their future plans. Although these plans are from 1999, so it's already a decade old, and there's really nothing about which option was pursued. This section (and the whole article, really) could be pulled into a more cohesive and coherent article. As it stands, it mostly talks about the history and "future" development plans for the library. It doesn't have anything about its current offerings, the site itself, etc. If it's a "community" library, it might help to also include information about its community outreach programs and such (summer reading programs, book clubs, that sort of things).

It might also help editors review the manual of style, as there's a couple of wikification issues as well. Dr. Cash (talk) 23:42, 18 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
