The original reason that this article was demoted from GA status was because of its clear violations of verifiability guidelines. They can be found at several areas in particular.

Additionally, citations could be used in the following areas as well.

  • {{notdone}} Citing all the different companies that are located in the economy section, as they can be challenged.
  • {{notdone}} Citing the very last paragraph in the religion section
  • {{notdone}} Citing the first paragraph in the media section
  • {{notdone}} Citing the first paragraph of the sports section

==Resolve the [[WP:OVERLINK|Overlinking]] Problem by Filling It Out ([[User:Finetooth]]<sup>[[User talk:Finetooth|talk]]</sup>, [[User:Dtbohrer]]<sup>[[User talk:Dtbohrer|talk]]</sup>)==

There are so many links that it has generated a somewhat discouraging sea of blue links.

===What Can Be Done?===

  • {{notdone}} Read through the articles and remove unnecessary links (Ex. aviation, snow, automobile, inches)
  • {{notdone}} Remove any links of questionable notability (Especially in the economy section)
  • {{notdone}} An overview paragraph for the listed sections would be helpful.
