History of Dallas, Texas was a good article candidate, but did not meet the good article criteria at the time. Once the objections listed below are addressed, the article can be renominated. You may also seek a review of the decision if you feel there was a mistake.

[edit] GA nomination failed
I don't feel this article has reached GA status as of 10/30, for these reasons:
- The lead section should provide a brief (but not that brief!) summary of the article, per Wikipedia:Lead section.
- The sections "Mid Century (1946-1974)", "Real Estate Boom (1975-1985)", and "Recession (1986-1995)" (especially this last one) are shorter than seems advisable. Perhaps these could be expanded with broader coverage or folded to fewer articles.
- The post-1945 sections focus mostly on the economy. While this is important, I think the article should touch more on the notable people, demographics, culture, and environment of Dallas, if it's to represent a broad survey of Dallas history.
I don't think there's too far to go, because the organization, prose, images, and references in this article are all pretty good. Please renominate the article when these concerns are addressed, and leave me a message if you have any questions. Twinxor t 22:11, 30 October 2006 (UTC)
