Michigan State Capitol[edit]

This article has failed its first attempt at FA. However, after rereading the article, I believe that most, if not all, of the problems have been fixed (I asked Carnildo about the images, and he says that so far he has no objections with some of the images that currently can't be obtained through free means). Hence, I am taking the chance and giving this article a second shot at FA (as a sidenote this is, to my knowledge, the fourth FAC that relates exclusively to the State of Michigan).

Comment. I'm sure you've tried, but something has to be done about the first sentence. There's got to be a way not to be so redundant, make it clear this article is about the building, and still link to the necessary articles. Also the bit about the filming is really out of place and doesn't make for a full paragraph. Otherwise good stuff. - Taxman ^Talk 19:31, 25 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Per your suggestion, I reworked the first sentence and shortened and moved the MGTV item to a better location. You're right about that one paragraph sticking out. Jtmichcock 02:11, 26 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Much better, but now the two notable trees is in a similar position. Is there anything additional important about related ceremonial items, rocks, plaques, etc that could flesh out that paragraph? - Taxman ^Talk 19:49, 26 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I have added two other trees that are of historical significance that were in prior edits. These adds two more sentences to the paragraph and fleshes it out. Jtmichcock 21:59, 26 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Support. Excellent. -- Wikipedical
Support. It looks very good, and is pretty well-written. My only suggestion is to add a paragraph or two directly under "History" and "The capitol today". Tuf-Kat 15:35, 27 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
