Municipalities of Colima[edit]

Nominator(s): Mattximus (talk) 13:49, 29 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I brought this page from a stub to what I think is featured list quality using some of the templates I made for other list of municipalities in both the USA (ex:List of cities and towns in Montana) and Canada (ex:List of municipalities in Nunavut). It seems Mexican geography articles are under represented on here, so I thought I'd give this one a try. It is a small list, and I used previous comments from my other 14 successful nominations to inform this article. Thanks for the review! Mattximus (talk) 13:49, 29 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Why isn't "List of municipalities in Colima" the title of this article? Sandvich18 (talk) 13:09, 1 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Not sure, but all Latin American articles appear to be this way. I have nominated Cantons of Costa Rica without problem. The list of is a bit redundant I think, but if you think it should be changed that could be done, but it should be done to all ~40 or so articles...

Resolved comments from The Rambling Man (talk) 09:40, 12 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Comments - this is a very short article, and others may find it difficult seeing it as a FL. Technical issues:

Are you referring to the lead? If so I'm very open to any recommendations on increasing it's length. As for the list, there is not much that can be done, as it is 100% complete.

Colima mentioned three times in the opening three sentences, reads poorly. Done
"The largest municipality by area is Colima" to avoid "Colima" being linked the same way yet pointing at different targets, rephrase this to "The largest by area is Colima Municipality..." Done
"1917 Constitution" and "plurality" are piped to redirects, just pipe to the articles in question. Done
Conversions in the table as well as the lead would be good.

Into American units? I'm not sure this is necessary in non-American articles, for example: Cantons of Costa Rica. Is this a make or break recommendation? If so I can add conversions to Imperial.

It's not just "American units", us Brits enjoy using them too, so I would strongly advise conversions are included. The Rambling Man (talk) 07:05, 10 October 2017 (UTC) Done[reply]

State capital is piped to a redirect. Done
"Comala" is piped to a redirect back to itself... Done
Consistent date formats in the references, and split by 30em. Done
Make sure all non-English references have the language parameter correctly filled in. Done

Thanks for your review! I've made all of your changes above except for the conversion to American units, which I've queried above. Thanks again. Mattximus (talk) 01:49, 28 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
