GA Reassessment

In order to uphold the quality of Wikipedia:Good articles, all articles listed as Good articles are being reviewed against the GA criteria as part of the GA project quality task force. While all the hard work that has gone into this article is appreciated, unfortunately, as of October 13, 2008, this article fails to satisfy the criteria, as detailed below. For that reason, the article has been delisted from WP:GA. However, if improvements are made bringing the article up to standards, the article may be nominated at WP:GAN. If you feel this decision has been made in error, you may seek remediation at WP:GAR.

1. There are at least five outstanding requests for citation, some dating back to April 2008.
2. Large sections of the article are completely uncited: Geology, Science, Air, Rail, and almost all of Economy, for instance.
3. Places of interest section is a list.
4. The gallery of images should be moved to Commons and a link provided.
5. The formatting of the sources given in References is inconsistent.
6. There are two dead links.
7. There is an inline external link in the first paragraph of Sport. External links should only appear in the External links section.
