To-do list for Moscow: edit · history · watch · refresh

From Moscow's peer review:

  • Remove image gallery (perhaps just replace it with a link to Wikimedia Commons) - no consensus
  • Refactor Media section (as it is currently just a list of external links) to make it look more like Johannesburg's Communications and media section.
  • Remove See Also links (like History of Moscow) that are already linked in the body of the article.
  • Remove the list from the Moscow tourist attractions section
  • Expand the Education section
  • Explain the Crime Rates box better
  • Copyedit the article
  • Move Climate from under Tourism
  • Put Air pollution in Moscow in a sub-section (as it's too short as it is)
  • Sift through the External Links and get rid of any that are not very helpful.
  • Add a significant number of references
  • Add something about water transport (Moscow has two passenger riverports and regular motorship routes used mostly for entertainment)

Other Items:

  • Add some image of Moscow sport facilities - Luzhniki and Krylatskoye sport complexes
  • Refactor Living Costs section, which is quite repetitive.
  • Russian State Library (former Lenin library) should be mentioned.
  • Perhaps a brief note about schools for students below college-age would be helpful in the Education section.
  • Sport section should be improved, Moscow Hippodrome mentioned.
  • Modern city plan nedded to replace old ones.
  • Improve introduction
  • Add a Future development section with information about IBC and other ongoing projects.
  • Parks and landmarks should be improved and expanded to mention VDNKh, Victory Park memorial complex, Gorkiy Park of Culture and rest, Sokolniki, Izmailovskiy park, Losinoostrovskiy park and others, as well as overall depiction of resort zones.
  • A religious life section proposed
  • A night life section proposed

Lastly:

  • Do a final copyedit, with all the additional changes
  • Nominate for featured article status
