I think this article is pretty complete and well organised and I'm considering FACing it (compare with Buckinghamshire which is already FA), just requesting the community's input re: anything missing, layout etc first. Joe D (t) 13:39, 13 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- This is a good looking article. To get to FA status though, I think it needs a bit of work. As for completeness, I can't comment, since I don't know much about the area, but here are some suggestions:
- Spell out the (w) and (e) stuff in the lead - it might not make sense to some, and in any case it's not particularly clear.
- The lead is a bit short - can't you add some things like a basic description of the place, and perhaps anything about districts? (like the Buckinghamshire article)
- The history section could probably be expanded. In general, the article on Buckinghamshire is much more detailed. For an example of where you might expand the section, you mention "A number of military events" that took place in the 12th century - like what?
- You mention alot of people in the Dorset people section - could that be turned into a list? Perhaps you could categorize that list, even though Buckinghamshire isn't done that way.
- I like the Geography and Settlements sections - they're both well done. I'm wondering however if they could at least be put next to each other (probably move geography down) or possibly merged.
