Nathu La[edit]
The article is on the Himalayan border pass between India and China, recently opened after sealed for four decades. Has a lot of content for an article with limited scope and is well referenced. Article started my me, and expansion continued by user:Ambuj.Saxena. Copyedited by several editors. Currently rated a good article. =Nichalp «Talk»= 09:44, 18 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Support. Meets criteria.--Dwaipayan (talk) 10:13, 18 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Comments - I can't see anything on the topo map in the infobox without looking at the image page - which makes it's inclusion in the box kind of pointless. The lead makes this claim "The opening of the pass bolstered the economy of the region and is expected to play a key role in the growing Sino-Indian trade" - while the economy section talks about the expected effects there is no data supporting the assertion that "the opening of the pass bolstered the economy". It's been open again for 8 months, is there any current data to show the economic effect of reopening? The text also needs another copyedit. --Peta 01:39, 19 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Thanks for the suggestions. 1. I've removed the topo map. 2. Fixed the lead statement. 3. Added data for trade figures in 2006. (PS The pass is only open till 30 Sep). 4. Not sure what needs to be copyedited. Could you point out some areas needing improvement? (I've also submitted this article for copyediting.) Thanks! =Nichalp «Talk»= 06:34, 19 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

- Support A well written and comprehensive article on an interesting, though little-known, subject. Meets all the FA criteria as far as I can see. Dislosure: I recently copyedited the article a bit, though I can't take any credit for the content. Abecedare 20:48, 20 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
