Hi article watchlisters, I am reviewing this article as part of WP:URFA/2020, an initiative to review older articles to ensure that they still meet the featured article criteria. I have a couple of concerns with this article that I have noted below:
There are a lot of unsourced sentences, and even unsourced paragraphs.
Lots of the information needs to be updated, like the demographics and economy sections, to include 2023 figures.
There's lots of sources in the "Further reading" section. Can these be incorporated as inline citations into the article, or should they be removed?
Is anyone interested in addressing these concerns? If not, I might nominate this article for WP:FAR. Z1720 (talk) 15:06, 21 November 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
As this is a featured article and I received a warning before attempting an edit, thought it best to raise this here. My concern is over the distances from Manchester to Sheffield and Liverpool, both given as 35.0 miles in the Geography section. I thought we normally use "as the crow flies" straight line distances. If so, these are nearer to 31 miles for Liverpool and 33 miles for Sheffield, city centre to city centre as measured using Bing maps distance calculator tool. Perhaps someone would check/confirm?

A further point, why have the geographic coordinates in the Geography section been placed on the University of Manchester rather than the city centre? Rupples (talk) 22:05, 6 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
