The history and geography sections are good, but what about the community? What was Thistle? Were there public facilities? Was it incorporated? How was the town? Demographics? I kind of feel there is a lot missing from the article. In the end, the article reads like an article about the landslide, not Thistle. (still working on this)
- For currency conversion, don't use "today", but "as of [year]". (fixed)
- Dates don't end in "th". (fixed)
- The rest area is not referenced. (still working on this)
- The first reference is not formatted properly. (fixed)
I am placing the article on hold; there needs to be more about the settlement and community itself. Arsenikk (talk) 11:40, 2 April 2010 (UTC)
- Thanks for the feedback. I will try to address these this weekend. For the record, I didn't have a good source about thistle itself (most sources are about the landslide). However, I recently found one, and will use it to make the requested expansion. Dave (talk) 17:32, 2 April 2010 (UTC)
- OK I have fixed the issues in the bulleted list. I finally found a source that may have some demographic information. I am reading that source now (it's a book, it will take a few days) and will update the article accordingly. Thanks for the review. Dave (talk) 06:09, 7 April 2010 (UTC)
- As long as things are progressing, don't worry about the few extra days. Arsenikk (talk) 07:53, 7 April 2010 (UTC)
- I have added what I could from the book about the demographics, facilities, and info on the early settlers. The book dedicates a large section to interviewing the families who had to flee Thistle when the land slid, but unfortunately not much on the first immigrants. Dave (talk) 07:24, 8 April 2010 (UTC)
- I'm not 100% satisfied, but if this is all that is available in reliable sources, then the article can meet the good article criteria. I am passing the article, and trust you will add more information, should you ever come across it in the future. Arsenikk (talk) 09:55, 8 April 2010 (UTC)
- Thanks for the review and feedback. I don't know if you noticed, but I also added a couple of paragraphs about the "pre-landslide" history of the area. I will add more as I find it.Dave (talk) 16:39, 8 April 2010 (UTC)
