Nutrition Assistance for Puerto Rico[edit]

Recent Good Article, plenty of sources and a NPOV despite various controversies. I feel it has potential of reaching FA, but I need a fair and balanced review of the article, offering suggestions on how to improve it so that it reaches FA. - Mtmelendez (Talk|UB|Home) 01:39, 5 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I think this is a very strong article; Good work.

  • You seemed to be confused on "Notes" vs "References". What you have under the notes section are the references and I believe what you list as references is only repetition. Look at other recently featured articles and see how they handle this. Done
  • Criticism and advocacy:I would rather see these issues worked in throughout the article. It very strange to have a section on "Program administration" and not mention the defects at that place. Done
  • I am left wondering what the cost of living on PR is compared to the rest of the US. The chart showing US territories (many of them islands) having higher average benefits that the 50 states would be more useful if there was a column for cost of living. I believe food is generally more expensive on islands because of transportation costs.
  • The chart "Income-based eligibility" has an external jump. Done
  • See also: These links should be incorporated into the article and the section eliminated. Done

Response: Your suggestions are welcome to this article. I agree that the criticism section could be merged with the rest of the article, so I'll get to that soon, and I'll try to include the information you inquired since it is relevant to the article. But yes, I am confused. I included under notes the specific reference to pages and paragraphs within the main references, while including the complete reference title and name under the References section. I thought this was the best way to list references, but I might be mistaken. Could you please expand your suggestion to references? - Mtmelendez (Talk|UB|Home) 00:54, 9 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Never mind about the references/notes. That is not the way I am used to seeing it handled but I just looked at some other FA and there does not seems to be any unifomity on these issues. So it does not seem to matter after all.--BirgitteSB 16:38, 9 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Well, putting this issue aside, I'm really grateful for your suggestions. Thanks again for your time. - Mtmelendez (Talk|UB|Home) 00:06, 10 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
