Talk:Vitoria-Gasteiz

Proposed good article status review

Here is a small and short review for the article:

• Many redlinks(a total of 8 redlinks)
• Not enough blue links, the Industrialization, History, Environment and Political Data sections can be improved with more blue links.
• Missing file in the Museums and Art Galleries section
• File is hitting the text of the Cuisine section in the Museums and Art Galleries section
• A grand total of 6 reference, needs much more.
• References and Other websites are placed in the wrong order. References should come first before other websites link.
  •  Fixed

That should be about it. Inform me when you have finished with all these! Hydriz (talk) 13:01, 9 January 2011 (UTC)

A few GA comments

I made a few edits to try to improve the section on industry. There are two sentences that I marked "needs proof. I'm sure they are true, but it would be good to add references for the statistics there.

Other things I noticed are:

• The Ikea picture is broken.
  •  Fixed
• Why use Roman numerals? I think changing "Between XV and XVIII" to "Between 1400 and 1799" of "From 1400-1800" might be simpler.
• For someone like me who doesn't know Spanish politics, abbreviations like PNV, PSE, etc are hard to understand.
• Isn't this obvious? "Naturally, the City Council of Vitoria is also headquartered in this city."

That's all for now. It looks like a nice place to live or visit. Gotanda (talk) 02:36, 17 January 2011 (UTC)
