Goa[edit]
This peer review discussion has been closed.
I've listed this article for peer review because we want to improve this important article, which was a former FA.

- Move the coat of arms somewhere else or remove. (at least out of history)
- I don't like the malgaadi img; also there are two road imgs.
- religion box is too wide.

Maxim comments Nowhere near FA, and approaching but not yet near GA standards. I'll give some pointers nonetheless:
- Look over the FAR -- copyediting and citations are still issues
- While Goa isn't a country in its own right, I will suggest an article like United States as a good example to follow.
- The TOC is much too big (relates to FA criterion 2b). Make the subdivisions and flora/fauna section subsections of the Geography section; Transport & Tourism into Economy; Languages, Education --> Demographics; Sports, Media --> Culture.
- Needs copyeditng for flow (get rid of choppy sentences, get connection between them so they flow, as well as connection between paragraphs; see User:Tony1/How to improve your writing for a guide to doing this).
- The Architecture section contains a maintenance template related to tone.
- Random example: "During March 2008 Goa was lashed with heavy rain and strong winds. This was the first time in 29 years that Goa had seen rain during March." --> "Goa experienced a heavy rainstorm in March 2008, which was the first time in 29 years that Goa had seen rain during the month of March."
- There are serious citations issues: many sections are uncited, or have one or two references and there are some [citation needed] tags. An excellent rule of thumb is that every quote, every statistic, every extraordinary claim and every paragraph needs a ref (taken from Ruhrfisch).
