Partial self-nom. Did some polishing, expanded lead, added population and etymologies. Geraldk 16:31, 19 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • Conditional support if and when it mentions what year the census is from. (and no, no animated map from me this time like for the RI list; I've been trying to do a map of the Arizona counties for months) --Golbez 17:11, 19 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
 Done Geraldk 17:37, 19 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • In that case, support, but a link to the online copy of the census for the counties of Arizona would be useful too. --Golbez 18:24, 19 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment Where did you get the "formed from" information from? I checked the references and couldn't find it.--Crzycheetah 19:48, 19 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
It was there when I started working on the list, and I must have missed it when putting the reference list together. Just added a new reference that contains the information. Geraldk 21:40, 19 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Could you put a note on each header explaining where the information comes from. See List of counties in Maryland for an example. Also, I'd prefer the lead to have one more paragraph about counties because your second paragraph just explains the FIPS codes, which is good, but still there needs to be one more paragraph. The list itself looks great, great job implementing the {{County7}} template. --Crzycheetah 22:58, 19 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Done and done. Geraldk 23:39, 19 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Support - Great job! It truly exemplifies Wikipedia's very best work. --Crzycheetah 00:09, 20 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment. The map is too large. Consider reducing its size. see List of counties in Maryland. CG 17:39, 20 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose Mostly minor fixes needed. The etymolgy column could do with some supplemntry information. For example, mention that Mount Graham is a mountain in Arizona, rather just saying the county is named after it. Birth-death dates for people with counties named after them woudl be good. Also, Coconino County is currently down as being formed from Coconino County... which isn't useful. Otherwise, this list is fine, and I will happy to support when these issues have been fixed.

I've tried to fix both. Let me know if you think the etymologies need more expansion. Couldn't find D.O.B. for Greenlee, which is why I only put his death date. Geraldk 22:34, 20 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Support now the above has been dealt with. 17:24, 21 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Support, looks good to me. Wizardman 15:21, 22 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support Just as high quality as similar, already featured, lists Acdixon 14:49, 23 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
