Review section[edit]

The article currently does not meet the FA criteria for being well-researched. I am the article's principal contributor and its original FA-nominator (in 2005). However, no one (including myself) has not kept it up-to-date in terms of content or in terms of WP expectations for FA-articles. A FAR notice was posted on its talk page last year and I made some requested edits but to bring this in line with expectations one should expect out of a FA would require a level of effort I am not willing to invest. Specific issues include (1) Climate and Education sections with no citations and (2) the History section with little or poor coverage of the last 30 years. Some other items which may not be specifically actionable but I feel should be mentioned are an Economy and Culture sections which use out-of-date references and content. maclean (talk) 01:44, 31 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: I am going to notify additional Wikiprojects, as added above. I also changed the noticed link to the article's talk page notice in December. Z1720 (talk) 17:58, 31 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Missing notification to CambridgeBayWeather, completed. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 17:26, 1 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment Thanks for the notification. I'm not really sure why though as my contributions were minimal. I didn't even know it was a featured article until I got this notification. CambridgeBayWeather, Uqaqtuq (talk), Huliva 14:28, 2 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    CambridgeBayWeather, the aim of FAR notifications is to increase the chances of finding someone who might be inclined towards improving the article, and you were the only still active editor who shows in the stats (scroll to the bottom of the page where you can see last edit dates, noting that DCGeist is sock-blocked). Best regards, SandyGeorgia (Talk) 14:08, 3 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    DCGeist mainly edited the article on the day of its Main Page appearance and again one day in 2010 (but I don't recall the circumstances behind that). He was a great editor and WP is less without him. CambridgeBayWeather's contributions have principally been reverts and miscellaneous fixes for which he is thanked. maclean (talk) 16:55, 10 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delist article needs updating in some areas as discussed above. So far there has not been much progress in addressing these issues. (t · c) buidhe 01:21, 17 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delist, if maclean says it has to go, sorry, but I guess no one will repair. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 02:17, 23 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delist - I trust maclean's judgment here. Hog Farm Talk 21:40, 23 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Closing note: This removal candidate has been delisted, but there may be a delay in bot processing of the close. Please leave the {{featured article review}} template in place on the talk page until the bot goes through. Nikkimaria (talk) 03:08, 27 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
