[edit] Delisted GA
This article did not go through the current GA nomination process. Looking at the article as is, it fails on criteria 2b of the GA quality standards. Although references are provided, the citation of sources is essential for verifiability. Most Good Articles use inline citations. I would recommend that this be fixed, to reexamine the article against the GA quality standards, and to submit the article through the nomination process. --RelHistBuff 13:00, 9 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Removal of discussion
Firstly, I must apologize as I did not put up the delist template properly when I delisted the article last month. However, I found that the comments I put above were edited out and replaced with a blank talk page! This is not proper Wikipedia etiquette. I have restored the comment from the history and added the delist template.
Secondly, the article was relisted as a Good Article without going through the proper GA nomination process. This violates the rule for reviewing “You cannot choose an article you've significantly contributed to.” I ask that you please respect the GA status and process and resubmit the article properly.

- I've re-promoted the article based on the latest changes. Mdhennessey 21:23, 27 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Recent edits
Folks - I hope you don't mind if I do a bit of editing - adding some more refs, cleaning up a few things (e.g., Oregon was admitted as a state in 1859, and Nevada in 1864, so California wasn't entirely "isolated" from all other states before the RR was built in 1869).

- You've done a great job! Bravo.
