I will post my comments soon. Cheers, Sainsf ( talk · contribs) 06:30, 3 June 2016 (UTC)
- Lead
- For an article of this length, the lead should be two to three good paras long covering all the major points in the article (per WP:MOSLEAD)
- History
- The recorded history of Buford began in the early 19th century. Perhaps a clearer wording would be (if this is what is implied) "Buford appears in historical records from the early 19th century"?
Done - inhabited by Cherokee "the" Cherokee Done
- The first non-Native American I think it should be "Americans" Done
- During the post-civil war construction When exactly? Done
- after the railway's completion in 1871 of the railroad Worded a bit clumsily. Done
- and the name was changed to Simply say "and renamed" Done
- "Shoes" look a bit too common to be wikilinked Done
- What exactly is ref. 11 the source for? Done - Fixed the ref with archive.org
- A statue of Roy Rogers and a Bona Allen saddle-maker saddling Trigger is located in downtown Buford. Source? Done - Fixed ref to reflect that it also supports that statement
- The portion in the 4th para dealing with the origins of Bona Allen Company should come before all the discussion about the company in the 3rd para to maintain chronology. Done
- Who was R. H. Allen? Done - clarified
- Geography
- Buford's city limits are a few miles west Can this be more precise? Done - Used city boundary map to find distance to what is supported in the source
- "Season" looks too common to be linked Done
- Demographics
- "Married couple" looks too common to be wikilinked, but the communities such as Latinos can be wikilinked Done
- Do not leave the paragraphs unsourced. They give an impression of lack of verifiability. Done
- 13.8% of those age 65 or over "aged" Done
- Parks and recreation
- There are two unsourced lines Done
- Government
- This section would better come immediately after "Economy" Done - I followed
Wikipedia:WikiProject Cities/US Guideline when structuring the article, but that way makes sense too.
- 45th and 49th districts, and the 97th, 98th, and 103rd districts Why are two linked and not the other three? They are redlinks btw. Done - Removed redlinks
- Education
- Source for 1st para? Done
- Media
- Source for the 1st para? Done
- Transportation
- Sources for the 1st and 3rd paras? Done
- Health care
- Source for but no major hospitals inside the city limits...built in nearby Braselton. Done
- Emory Johns Creek Hospital No need to wikilink this, it goes to Emory Healthcare which is linked earlier Done
- Notable people
- Many of Buford High School's alumni have also played professional sports. Source? Done
No dablinks, no copyvio detected. That should be it. Cheers, Sainsf ( talk · contribs) 18:39, 4 June 2016 (UTC)
- I've done some of it today, I'll finish the rest tomorrow. Thanks. - Aoidh ( talk) 22:04, 5 June 2016 (UTC)
@ Sainsf: - Should be good to go, unless I've overlooked something I think every point has been checked off as completed. - Aoidh ( talk) 04:40, 10 June 2016 (UTC)
Great, this looks almost ready now. A few final comments, on the references: Sainsf ( talk · contribs) 06:13, 10 June 2016 (UTC)
- Check this, a lot of dead or inaccessible links
[1] Done - See below
- There is some trouble with ref. 72
Fixed - Ref. 65 is a bare URL
Fixed
- Refs like ref. 47 and 78 need proper formatting and include more parameters. Use Template:Cite if they are not already used.
@ Aoidh: Please respond. Sainsf ( talk · contribs) 08:00, 14 June 2016 (UTC)
- Sorry work has been hectic, I'll get on that tonight or tomorrow night asap. Thanks. - Aoidh ( talk) 18:28, 14 June 2016 (UTC)
- A note on reference 47, it's using the cite conference parameter like other laws referenced on Wikipedia, but the issue with GALILEO is I can't link to a URL because it's behind a login and the way they have it setup it that it navigates through some window within the page, so the URL is the same for everything within GALILEO, the only URL I'd be able to link is galileo.usg.edu as that's the URL displayed when accessing the content. Attempting to dig into that window and provide a clearer URL gives this kind of error - Aoidh ( talk) 22:21, 15 June 2016 (UTC)
- @ Sainsf: - All of the deadlinks that are truly dead now have archive links attached to them, and others (like some of the Gwinnett Daily Post links) were showing up in that list as dead but were not. All the other problematic links have either been fixed or replaced. - Aoidh ( talk) 07:29, 16 June 2016 (UTC)
