[edit] Requesting cleanup
"Economy
Georgetown is Guyana's largest city and it contains a good portion of the major businesses. It is an important city for Guyana and the Caribbean. Within the metro area there is the CARICOM headquarters which is the centre of the Caribbean government. Georgetown also is home to a seaport that is rapidly expanding. The city is seeing a major boom in construction and very strong economic growth. Georgetown's airport, Cheddi Jagan International Airport is a hub for BWIA or locally known as ""bwee""."
- this is a typical example of what I have a problem with. 1. Georgetown is Guyana's only city. 2. "a good portion" is too colloquial 3. "very strong economic growth" - explain please 4. CJI Airport is in Timehri not Georgetown 5. CJI is not a BWIA hub, Piarco is. 6. BWIA's nickname should not be on the Georgetown page. --Blakdogg 13:28, 11 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Demerara River high span bridge
The following was recently added to the "Construction Boom" subsection - "A new high span bridge across the Demerara River". This statement is news to me and needs a reference if accurate. Nick Taylor 21:24, 22 November 2006 (UTC)
