message: The method of referencing that is being used on this page is odd. The notes are better, but the References section should contain the references tag only. There are more complex methods of citing but the one used here is going to get to look really odd if someone adds another [5] without adding to the references list.

message: The article does not currently meet the Good Article criteria, and will not be listed. The prose and text overall is very good, and there are little problems with that; it's quite easy to read and understand. But it is mainly lacking in the areas of completeness and reference citations. Any information which is challenged, or likely to be challenged, should be cited. Specific facts and figures, events, and other information, should include its inline citation formatted according to WP:CITE. More specific issues with the article follow:
* Missing a description of the local government and/or administration (government section).
* Missing a description of transportation (roads, highways, rail transport, buses, etc).
* Missing a description of the culture; cultural points of interest, annual cultural events. The article should have a cultural section discussing these things. It might help to Start by combining the Allestree Park & Markeaton sections, as they are major cultural points of interest, and look somewhat awkward in their own main sections (the information is better tied together).
* The religion section could be combined into the demographics section, since they seem to be somewhat related. The text in both sections is really just restating information already presented in the tables, and nothing new is really covered, other than a relatively uninteresting prose listing of churches in the town. How does the population interrelate and how have demographics and/or religion changed over the years.
* Geography has no information on the climate.
* The pie chart under 'economy' doesn't really tell me anything without clicking on it to enlarge; and once I clicked on it, I didn't really get anything out of it that I hadn't read in the text in the economy section either. More information could be provided here about specific businesses and industries in the town, instead of just basic stats on the employment situation. How did these businesses develop and locate here?
* An external links section might be nice to include a link to the official website, or chamber of commerce/business site, tourism office, etc. Be careful not to include too many links though (see WP:EL).
These are the major issues with the article, although it could be incomplete. The article still has a good deal of development ahead of it, so it's impossible to predict every issue. I would recommend taking a look at the templates & guidelines for US/UK city articles at WikiProject Cities, as these will likely help the article's structure a lot. Good luck!

replies: text: Yep, Thats the nearest Met weather station. Those figures are from the Met website. Theres also  another station in Sheffield but its a little further away. Dommccas 16:47, 29 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  Including the weather table for a weather station which is ~ 14 miles away seems silly. 82.17.131.125 (talk) 17:31, 9 April 2011 (UTC)

thread_title:  Layout 

message: There is no sign of these in the Contents list though St Edmund's Church illustrates one section: there are probably External links further down but you need at least a paragraph or two in the article. (You can request GA recognition somewhere: then they will start assessing and negotiation so it could be complicated.)----Felix Folio Secundus (talk) 05:11, 4 April 2009 (UTC)
