My normal area of operations is football articles, but my wife made me promise to work on the article on her hometown in exchange for spending so long on the computer! :-) So I've been hard at work on this for a while now (in comparison, before I first edited it, it looked like this), and would appreciate any input on anything that needs looking at before I put it up for FA......
Thanks,

Dihydrogen Monoxide
editYour wish is my command - here are some suggestions and things.
- "town" (first sentence) needs some sort of wikilink
Done
- "On the edge of Cannock Chase, it is 6 miles (9.7 km) north-east of Walsall and a similar distance south-west of Lichfield" - Located on the ends of Cannock Chase, or what?
- Done
- The images used in the article (especially the two in the Geography and climate section) could be a bit bigger, so it looks pretty :)
- Done
- Not sure you need the co-ordinates at the top of that section, they're already at the top of the article
- Done
- "Brownhills compared"...to what? Elaborate on this table's heading
- Done - changed the title completely, not sure if it is too informal, though.....?
- "Governance" section could be expanded if possible
- I can't think of anything else to add, it already details the local MP, last general election details and current local council control, is there anything else that needs to be covered....?
- The image captions in the "Economy" section are a bit...well...not formal enough, if you get my drift.
- Done
- Are there any more appropriate categories?
- I can't find any which seem suitable
That's about it. My review is brief because I didn't read the article in full - I really am not the copyedit type for such long articles (20kb is about my limit :) ). But yeah, I think it'd do OK at an FAC - tell me when it comes, I'd like to support! Dihydrogen Monoxide (H2O) 08:15, 30 October 2007 (UTC)
- Many thanks for your comments, they've been most helpful and I will see about putting the article up for GAC later, but right now I should probably get on with some work.... ;-) ChrisTheDude 08:42, 30 October 2007 (UTC)

Automated peer review
editThe following suggestions were generated by a semi-automatic javascript program, and might not be applicable for the article in question.
- Please expand the lead to conform with guidelines at Wikipedia:Lead. The article should have an appropriate number of paragraphs as is shown on WP:LEAD, and should adequately summarize the article.[?]
- Per Wikipedia:Context and Wikipedia:Manual of Style (dates), months and days of the week generally should not be linked. Years, decades, and centuries can be linked if they provide context for the article.[?]
- If there is not a free use image in the top right corner of the article, please try to find and include one.[?]
- Per Wikipedia:Manual of Style (numbers), there should be a non-breaking space -
between a number and the unit of measurement. For example, instead of 36km, use 36 km, which when you are editing the page, should look like:36 km.[?] - Per Wikipedia:Manual of Style (numbers), when doing conversions, please use standard abbreviations: for example, miles -> mi, kilometers squared -> km2, and pounds -> lb.[?]
- This article may need to undergo summary style, where a series of appropriate subpages are used. For example, if the article is United States, then an appropriate subpage would be History of the United States, such that a summary of the subpage exists on the mother article, while the subpage goes into more detail.[?]
- As done in WP:FOOTNOTE, footnotes usually are located right after a punctuation mark (as recommended by the CMS, but not mandatory), such that there is no space in between. For example, the sun is larger than the moon [2]. is usually written as the sun is larger than the moon.[2][?]
- Please ensure that the article has gone through a thorough copyediting so that it exemplifies some of Wikipedia's best work. See also User:Tony1/How to satisfy Criterion 1a.[?]
