[edit] Lastovo

Very good article for a small island like this. Luka Jačov 17:55, 29 December 2005 (UTC)

• Object Where are the refrences? How about adding a section about the island today and what it is used for? Tarret 18:36, 29 December 2005 (UTC)
• Object no references, to start WhiteNight ^{T | @ | C} 19:03, 29 December 2005 (UTC)

• I dont get with this references?! What is it good for u or anybody else when refences are in Serbo-Croatian? But if its neccesary I will write it down. But I mentioned that tourism is in begining and that it is going to be declared Nature park. Luka Jačov 19:12, 29 December 2005 (UTC)

• Object. Image:Lastovo_grad.jpg has an unacceptable license and copyright status, and as said above, please cite your sources. -- SoothingR 23:21, 29 December 2005 (UTC)

• For The article looks pretty good for such a small island. When those fixes are made the article will be ready. GTubio 23:25, 29 December 2005 (UTC)

• Wouldn't it be a little early to vote, seeing as those fixes aren't there yet? SoothingR 23:41, 29 December 2005 (UTC)

My refernces r: Veliki Atlas Hrvatske and Antun Jurica - Lastovo kroz stoljeća Luka Jačov 23:29, 29 December 2005 (UTC)

• We have no need for your sources here. Please include them in the article. SoothingR 23:41, 29 December 2005 (UTC)

• Object. The size of the island is irrelevant. The article fails Criterion 2(b) badly. Nothing about the people, the government (surely there's a local government structure), and its relationship to the rest of the nation. Fails Criterion 2(a) too (poorly written). Tony 04:06, 30 December 2005 (UTC)
• Object per Tony - poorly written. Rampart 06:23, 30 December 2005 (UTC)

OK, I ve put the references on the page. Could somebody show me example article of another island to see good model how it should be written. Luka Jačov 12:38, 30 December 2005 (UTC)

• What are those references? Books? Articles in magazines? Please specify them a little better. And, if possible, link to these sources if they're available on the web (with acceptable copyright status). If you want a well written example, take Rhode Island (although the sources are in an entirely wrong place there..). -- SoothingR 13:13, 30 December 2005 (UTC)

• No links sorry. Books ofcourse. I think u gave me wrong example cos u cannot compare US state and island that has less than 1000 people. Luka Jačov 13:55, 30 December 2005 (UTC)

• If that island's population is really that low (and of course, it is), then I'm seriously doubting if there are enough possibilities to expand this article in such a manor, that an article with appropiate length for WP:FA is created. Also, provide a little more information on those books. See Template talk:Book reference for more info about that. SoothingR 14:06, 30 December 2005 (UTC)

• Rhode Island isn't an island :). However, I think the point is that the article contains nothing about the local government structure. AndyZ 18:26, 1 January 2006 (UTC)

• Object. What everyone else said. :) — Wackymacs 17:06, 30 December 2005 (UTC)
• Object· Needs a thorough copyedit. I'd do this except I can't guess what some bits mean - for example "After WWII, Lastovo experienced same faith as island Vis" ??? Morwen - Talk 15:24, 31 December 2005 (UTC)

• Refer to peer review I think the article would have benefitted from a peer review before coming on here, and it'd be worth putting it on there now - with a bit of luck someone will do a copyedit and you might get a few useful suggestions and offers of help. I don't think the subject is too small to get to FA standard (there's no minimum length if the article's good enough), but it needs a lot more detail to get there. I'd like to see the Croatian island articles expanded, so I'll see if I can find anything to add. Image:Yemen flag large.png CTOAGN (talk) 20:21, 31 December 2005 (UTC)

One other thing: the sentence "People from nearby islands regard people from Lastovo as people who would eat the last dish on the table without offering anybody else before." really needs to have a source cited. Image:Yemen flag large.png CTOAGN (talk) 20:29, 31 December 2005 (UTC)

• Object. Everything listed above, and no inline citations (, Wikipedia:Footnotes). History is usually the 1st section to appear in an article. Too short and not thorough enough to make FA. It could benefit from information about the local government and the people (demographics). AndyZ 18:26, 1 January 2006 (UTC)
• Support - pretty nice article of pretty nice island. Luka, please just put a map of Lastovo, or map whit position in Croatia.--M. Pokrajac 21:59, 8 January 2006 (UTC)

I had some problems with computer. I expanded the article. Luka Jačov 20:03, 4 January 2006 (UTC)
