thread_title:  USCITY guideline 

message: This article is a long way short of GA standards
*Lead:The lead is far too short for such an article, a lead needs to summarise the article and should be about 4-5 times as long as it currently is
*Please wikilink dates and years
*The article has a uniform lack of refs. Some refs are just put in as external references without any filled in details. Please see a city FA like Bangalore and use  and  with the dates, publishers, authors and names of the sites that you reference
*There are many MOS violations. section headers should not be all caps unless they are proper nouns, so "Hanford's Chinese community" is correct. Community should not be capped
*Many short one-1.5 line sentences should be integrated elsewhere into a proper paragraph
*This is especially prevalent in the history section
*The name of the first teacher proably isnt required, but that's a minor issue.
*History is unusual in that it is undue weight and surprisingly, one of the few times on Wikipedia where it is biased towards the historic stuff. Almost all the history is pre 1900
*Economy and demographics section needs refs
*Transportation needs to be prosified, instead of dot points
*You'll need a ref for the Arsenic stuff, since we don't want a law suit from the city council for saying that they are life threatening
*Utilities has many short setnences and many 1 line paras.
*Ditto for education
*"The jewel of the Clark Center" pov statement
*opening hours of the various attractions should not be listed else it sounds like advertising
*Sites of interest need to be prosified and come imagese need to be removed because we usually should not have pictures on both sides of a section of prose
*Notable residents section should not be there.

message: Before people add information based on internet memes, they should do a thorough Google search. Not very notable, considering I could only find a couple of local news articles on him at this point. Sχeptomaniacχαιρετε 20:35, 27 August 2009 (UTC)
