I hope to eventually get this article up to FA status. This is the second peer review I have opened for this article, and i feel that i closed it to soon so i will leave this one open longer. Two other users that have also been improving the article are 117Avenue (talk · contribs) and Hwy43 (talk · contribs) Thanks, Kyle1278 02:17, 20 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Alt-text is needed.
"The hadrosaur Edmontosaurus is named after the city." → Not mentioned anywhere else in the article (see WP:LEAD); also seems too specific of a detail for the lead.

Done

"...the Calgary-Edmonton Corridor..." → an en dash is needed (Calgary–Edmonton)

Done

I'd break up that paragraph below the climate data table. Moving info on Edmonton's latitude to the "Geography" section and incorporate the amount of sunshine into the "Climate" section.

Done

Having the measure of precipitation in the climate data table is somewhat redundant as you already have measurement for rain and snow.

~~Done~~

I disagree, the monthly amounts are listed elsewhere. 117Avenue (talk) 04:03, 26 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The first part of the "Politics" section seems somewhat more relevant to being in the "History" section.
How is Edmonton represented in the government on the national level? The provincial level?

Working...

There is "citation needed" tag that would have to be taken care of before going to FAC.
The GDP, in the "Economy" section, is from 2007. Is it possible to update this?

If someone could help me with this one it would be greatly appreciated i am not the best withe economic stuff.Kyle 1278 01:10, 28 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

"Edmonton's current poet laureate is Mr. Roland Pemberton a.k.a. Mr. Cadence Weapon." → Why is this important to the city? Important enough for its own section?

Done

"...immediately ahead of Mississauga, Charlotte, Tijuana, and Calgary among cities..." → I'd mention where these are located if they are not in Alberta.

Done

Are coordinates for CFB Edmonton necessary?

Done

It might beneficially to make the "Religion" section a subsection of "Demographics", as the two are closely related.

Done

Hope this helps. A good model article for an FA you might to look at is Hamilton, Ontario. A copyedit would also be a good idea. You might want to consider reviewing an article in the backlog, which I found this article. Niagara ^{Don't give up the ship} 23:49, 25 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
