Sarajevo[edit]
Self nomination. I have been working on this article for quite some time now and would like for it to be a featured article. Plenty of information, numerous pictures, under 32kb. I'm sure any objections can be easily resolved. Asim Led 00:38, 30 Oct 2004 (UTC)
- Support, this is much improved. Great work. Though one thing, in the history section what is "Drina banovina"? That needs to be explained. Also I should disclose that I have done a number of minor edits on this page in the past. - Taxman 03:56, Oct 30, 2004 (UTC)
- Yes, thanks for your help in shaping the article. Regarding Drinska banovina, ive turned it into a link, created a stub, and added a brief explanation. Asim Led 04:10, 30 Oct 2004 (UTC)

- Support. A lot of work has gone into this article and Asim's baby :) looks like it would make an FA. Some native English speakers could probably proofread it, and the number of sections could possibly be reduced further, but overall it's worth considering. --Joy [shallot] 10:24, 30 Oct 2004 (UTC)
- Support. Just spotted a minor typo... -- Arwel 10:35, 30 Oct 2004 (UTC)
- Absolute support. This is the benchmark for an article on a city. Ambi 10:37, 30 Oct 2004 (UTC)
Minor object. I think this article needs a map of where Sarajevo is located (perhaps the CIA map from the BH article, perhaps a better one). Also, the references (I changed the title from sources) used have only information about a small part of the topic, so more sources must have been used. I would also very much like to see at least one book mentioned, if only as "further reading". Jeronimo 11:30, 30 Oct 2004 (UTC)- A map of the greater Sarajevo area within Bosnia has been added to the "Geography and Climate" section. More sources have also been added.

Object until sources are added. Great article. [[User:Neutrality|Neutrality (hopefully!)]] 14:26, Oct 30, 2004 (UTC)- Sourcas have just been added. Asim Led 17:25, 30 Oct 2004 (UTC)
- Support, but the Culture section could benefit from a critical pruning. A lot of odd stuff is mashed in there, like a New Jersey jam band and lip service to local rock bands. After the dignified, empirical, and comprehensive previous sections, this one looks much more like a holding pen for whatever anyone has thought up. That's not an objection, but it is a sincere disappointment after all that had come before. Geogre 17:49, 30 Oct 2004 (UTC)
- I've created a "Main Article" for the culture section and placed the previous version there. Then I trimmed it down so its as long as the sections before. I hope you find it better now.Asim Led 20:37, 30 Oct 2004 (UTC)
- Indeed, it's much cleaner now, and the quality of that section no longer seems mismatched to the rest. Geogre 04:29, 31 Oct 2004 (UTC)
- The first photo (the city at night) is copyrighted and does not include permission for third party use - is that compatable with the wikipedia license? Joe D (t) 22:19, 30 Oct 2004 (UTC)
- All such images have now been replaced. Asim Led 03:28, 1 Nov 2004 (UTC)
- Strong Support, probably the best article on any City that we have. GeneralPatton 22:24, 30 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Object. The first image of Sarajevo at night may not be used by third-parties; that is even worse than non-commercial use only images.Johnleemk | Talk 13:26, 31 Oct 2004 (UTC)- All such images have now been replaced. Asim Led 18:09, 31 Oct 2004 (UTC)
- Support. Brilliant article. Zerbey 23:19, 1 Nov 2004 (UTC)
