Class A[edit]

It is my opinion upon reviewing your list and the criteria set forth at WP:FL? that this article meets all of them. I will not nominate this article for featured list status. I leave that up to you. However I will rank this list as class A. I really truly cannot see what could be changed that would be an improvement. Barring some historic place that I don't know about off the list. --Hfarmer (talk) 07:27, 22 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Ruhrfisch comments: Very briefly, here are some suggestions for improvement. I agree it looks good, but have a few quibbles.

  • I am not sure why the titles of the NHLs are all in bold, per Wikipedia:MOS#Italics "Emphasis Italics are used sparingly to emphasize words in sentences (bolding is normally not used at all for this purpose)."
  • In the cite web templates, I think the National Park Service should be the publisher, NOT the work
  • The inclusion of the three Historic areas in the United States National Park System may cause trouble at FLC - I think this is the main reason why the NHLs in NY list was not featured.
  • Any chance for a brief introductory summary - how many counties in AL and how many couties have (or do not have) NHLs? How many NHLs are churches? military? That sort of thing.

Hope this helps. If my comments are useful, please consider peer reviewing an article, especially one at Wikipedia:Peer review/backlog (which is how I found this article). Yours, Ruhrfisch ><>°° 02:24, 23 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
