I am nominating this for featured list because I trust it complies with FL criteria following recent expansion and copyediting. Tomobe03 (talk) 18:38, 14 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comments
  • "part of post-WWII" preferably spell out WWII, it's a bit tabloidy to refer to the Second World War as WWII in my opinion.
  • You link "župan" on its second instance, not its first.
  • "also been called by the " perhaps "also been referred to by".
  • Not directly related to this FLC, but is there really now a necessity for a separate List of Croatian counties by GDP since the GDP is included here?
  • "and the Free royal cities" any reason "Free" is capitalised?
  • Not keen on the way the latter section's images squash the table between them.
  • In the second table, force the notes row to stay at the bottom.
  • "in the 1886 – 1912 " no need for the spaces around that en-dash.
  • "Narodne Novine" appears to be called "Narodne novine" and be consistent in the refs, link once, link always, or link never.
  • Ref 20, avoid SHOUTING.

Thank you for your comments. I have addressed all of them as they are clearly constructive, helpful and improve the article - only the one regarding the List of Croatian counties by GDP remains, and I think I'll post a proposal to merge that article into this one, especially since virtually all information in the GDP-list is already in this one. I don't see any immediate benefit from specifying percentages of Croatian GDP per county - nor of percentage of Croatian population or territory per county.--Tomobe03 (talk) 13:27, 16 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
In the meantime, the List of Croatian counties by GDP article got expanded substantially in effect causing the list reviewed to provide a summary of that one.--Tomobe03 (talk) 22:14, 9 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comments
  • Does the lead image need to be that big? seems a bit excessive to me
Actually it does not. I've tightened it a bit (from 450 to 350 px wide) - anything smaller than that may be inadequately usable as a clickable image map.
  • "...the last has the authority and legal status of both a county and a city, separately from the surrounding Zagreb County" -> "which has the authority and legal status of both a county and a city, separate from the surrounding Zagreb County."
Reworded per suggestion.--Tomobe03 (talk) 11:23, 17 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Spell out EU one first use as some readers will be unaware what it stands for
Done.--Tomobe03 (talk) 11:26, 17 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • "... into approximately one hundred municipalities" use digits for one hundred
Done.--Tomobe03 (talk) 11:28, 17 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I have added table captions, as well as column/row headers as described in WP:DTAB. Could you please provide some feedback is that alright or should something else be done?--Tomobe03 (talk) 14:47, 17 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • two images in the list of former counties section could do with alt text

NapHit (talk) 18:34, 16 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Added alt parameters.--Tomobe03 (talk) 11:37, 17 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for your comments - I believe they contribute towards improving the article. By now, I've addressed all of them except the one regarding the table compliance with MOS:DTT and WP:ACCESS. I still have to take a closer look at that to determine exactly what should be done.--Tomobe03 (talk) 11:51, 17 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I did some work with the tables now, could you please have a look at those?--Tomobe03 (talk) 14:47, 17 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment – In the first two section headings, it doesn't need to be said that they are lists because it's perfectly obvious that they are lists when you look at them. Changing them to Counties and Former counties is cleaner and more to-the-point than what's there now. Giants2008 (Talk) 16:32, 20 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
