I see this article has a WP:GA status. I think it might be in need of reassessment. I haven't yet done an in-depth analysis but from a quick check it seems to me that the structure of the article needs a bit of work (too many level 1 headings for things that could be grouped together, such as impacts). Probably also too many bullet point lists and content that is too detailed here compared to relevant sub-articles. I've had a look at the WP:GAR page and am wondering if it's worth opening a good article reassessment now or later or not at all? (note I won't have time to get involved in depth in the GAR process, does that mean I shouldn't start it?) - Pinging a few people who might be interested: User:William M.

It became a good article many years ago and is an important subject which could do with checking Chidgk1 ( talk) 17:35, 19 March 2023 (UTC)
As the closing tool does not work on Safari on my ipad ( /info/en/?search=User_talk:Novem_Linguae/Scripts/GANReviewTool#Not_appearing_on_my_ipad) perhaps someone else would like to close this Chidgk1 ( talk) 11:19, 28 March 2023 (UTC)
Hi User:Buidhe, you made an important observation in the GA review discussion above: "Another issue with this article is coverage. A major cause of the effect is not cities per se but the large concentrations of cars (particularly ICEs) and car infrastructure (parking lots, roads, and other paved areas). The article barely mentions this."
I've now added two sentences from this ref to the "causes" section but feel free to expand on this, perhaps with an additional, more general source (as that source was specific to Phoenix). Thanks. EMsmile ( talk) 11:45, 3 July 2023 (UTC)
