message: The following suggestions were generated by a semi-automatic javascript program, and might not be applicable for the article in question.
*Please expand the lead to conform with guidelines at Wikipedia:Lead. The article should have an appropriate number of paragraphs as is shown on WP:LEAD, and should adequately summarize the article.[?]
*Per Wikipedia:Context and Wikipedia:Manual of Style (dates), months and days of the week generally should not be linked. Years, decades, and centuries can be linked if they provide context for the article.[?]
*Per Wikipedia:What is a featured article?, Images should have concise captions.[?]
*Please convert tables from HTML syntax to Help:Table wiki-markup.
*Per Wikipedia:Manual of Style (numbers), there should be a non-breaking space -   between a number and the unit of measurement. For example, instead of 000m2, use 000 m2, which when you are editing the page, should look like: 000 m2.[?]
*Per WP:WIAFA, this article's table of contents (ToC) may be too long- consider shrinking it down by merging short sections or using a proper system of daughter pages as per Wikipedia:Summary style.[?]
*There are a few occurrences of weasel words in this article- please observe WP:AWT. Certain phrases should specify exactly who supports, considers, believes, etc., such a view.
**it has been
**might be weasel words, and should be provided with proper citations (if they already do, or are not weasel terms, please strike this comment).[?] 
*Please make the spelling of English words consistent with either American or British spelling, depending upon the subject of the article. Examples include: neighbour (B) (American: neighbor), meter (A) (British: metre), recognise (B) (American: recognize), criticize (A) (British: criticise), ization (A) (British: isation), isation (B) (American: ization),  aging (A) (British:  ageing), any more (B) (American: anymore).
*The script has spotted the following contractions: doesn't, don't, didn't, if these are outside of quotations, they should be expanded.
*As done in WP:FOOTNOTE, footnotes usually are located right after a punctuation mark (as recommended by the CMS, but not mandatory), such that there is no space in between. For example, the sun is larger than the moon [2]. is usually written as the sun is larger than the moon.[2][?]
*Please ensure that the article has gone through a thorough copyediting so that it exemplifies some of Wikipedia's best work. See also User:Tony1/How to satisfy Criterion 1a.[?]

thread_title:  Peer Review 

message: It's a good start, but I feel it may need some more work. 
*As it stands now the lead section needs a slight expansion; some parts of article aren't summarised. 
*Remember that all non-free content requires a proper fair use rationale: have a look at :Image:Croydoncouncillogo.gif, :Image:Choice-fm-logo.gif and :Image:Couls purl.jpg. Some of which are used in breach of fair use. 
*The overall layout of images looks somewhat cluttered. Consider making them all consistent by maintaining only the thumb attribute. 
*"Croydon covers an area of 86.52 km²" What's that in miles squared? 
*The article needs additional references. The "Neighbourhoods and areas" section is wholly unreferenced, as is most of the history section. 
*It needs some minor formatting changes: e.g. "Geography and Climate" → "Geography and climate" and so forth. No need for caps.
Otherwise a very exhaustive article. Keep up the good work. -- Chris B • talk 16:55, 31 October 2007 (UTC)

message: I think the non-free corporate logos and non-free images of buildings should be removed. Generally, all non-free use images need non-free media rationales to explain why the use is permitted. – Ilse@ 09:20, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
