Stoke-on-Trent[edit]

The article is well-written so far, and has potential to become a Featured article candidate. I would like to get it on the Main Page soon. If anyone could help me, that would be good. --Sunfazer | Talk 11:37, 14 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It's already had some changes made! --Sunfazer | Talk 14:57, 14 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I think there's a fair way to go before this article reaches featured standard. Some points:

  • The history section is quite short and has large gaps chronology wise. I'm not sure that the passage about the mayor's car registration is particularly encyclopedic.
  • You can get Staffordshire oatcakes in much of Cheshire, so it is incorrect to say that their "fame has yet to travel outside of North Staffordshire".
  • Things like geography, climate and demographics should be added.
  • The "Famous people" section should go. Any particularly notable people should be mentioned in the relevant part of the article (such as Stanley Matthews when sport is mentioned).

Hope this helps. Oldelpaso 17:43, 14 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
