• The article's length and date are OK, it is generally well sourced, but two paragraphs lack citations - the first one in both the 'geography' and 'history' sections. I could find no issues with plagiarism/copyvio. Both hooks check out OK and are short enough, although the ALT1 needs an extra cite added at the end of the relevant sentence. The image status is fine and it looks OK at 100px. Mikenorton (talk) 21:33, 25 January 2012 (UTC)

 Done I found sources I could use for the first graf of the geography section. The first graf of the history section is sort of an executive summary of the following subsections, which I don't think we normally need to cite unless it includes an extraordinary claim, but per your request I have.

• In which case, both approved - I know that some of the cites are probably superfluous but it saves any argument down the line. Mikenorton (talk) 16:52, 26 January 2012 (UTC)
