"Designation as a Coast Guard City is made by the Commandant of the United States Coast Guard on advise of a review board and upon application by a municipal government." Sources 1 and 2 make no mention of the Commandant, although source 3 does. (This is not an issue, just confusing)

"As of 2015, 18 cities had been designated as a "Coast Guard City."" I would change this to "Coast Guard Cities" instead to prevent any grammatical concerns.

I have verified everything in the article with the sources provided. Full review to follow. sst^flyer 13:20, 21 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Rate	Attribute	Review Comment
1. Well-written:
	1a. the prose is clear, concise, and understandable to an appropriately broad audience; spelling and grammar are correct.	I decided to be bold and fixed my concern above.
	1b. it complies with the Manual of Style guidelines for lead sections, layout, words to watch, fiction, and list incorporation.	This is a very short article, but it does meet the guidelines. The list is appropriate.
2. Verifiable with no original research:
	2a. it contains a list of all references (sources of information), presented in accordance with the layout style guideline.	See above
	2b. reliable sources are cited inline. All content that could reasonably be challenged, except for plot summaries and that which summarizes cited content elsewhere in the article, must be cited no later than the end of the paragraph (or line if the content is not in prose).	See above
	2c. it contains no original research.	See above
3. Broad in its coverage:
	3a. it addresses the main aspects of the topic.	The article can be expanded, but nothing is out of scope.
	3b. it stays focused on the topic without going into unnecessary detail (see summary style).	Very short article
	4. Neutral: it represents viewpoints fairly and without editorial bias, giving due weight to each.	The article only presents facts.
	5. Stable: it does not change significantly from day to day because of an ongoing edit war or content dispute.	No edit warring
6. Illustrated, if possible, by media such as images, video, or audio:
	6a. media are tagged with their copyright statuses, and valid non-free use rationales are provided for non-free content.	One image is public domain, the other is article creator's own work
	6b. media are relevant to the topic, and have suitable captions.	Captions are acceptable
	7. Overall assessment.	Short but nice. Good job
