Hi @Kmsiever: and other talk page watchers: I am reviewing this article for WP:URFA/2020, an initiative to review and fix up articles promoted to featured article status before 2016. I think this article is in great shape, but I have some concerns, outlined below:

  • The "History" section does not have any information after 1967. Are there any events worth including of the past 50 years?
  • The "Economy" section does not have information after 2008. Is this section up-to-date? The Economy of Lethbridge article might have additional info for this article.
  • The "Demographics" section will need to be updated for the 2021 census when that information is available.
  • There are two books in the "Further reading" section. Can these be consulted and added to the article as sources?
  • Some of the references are deadlinks. Can these be updated and archived?

Is anyone willing to resolve the above issues? Please ping me when ready for a more thorough review, or if there are any questions. Z1720 (talk) 21:02, 20 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The Demographics section will be updated on February 9, 2022. Hwy43 (talk) 06:10, 26 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
These are great recommendations! I will try to see what I can add, but my time is a lot more limited than it was when I helped flesh out the page all those years aog. :) —Kmsiever (talk) 16:48, 30 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Hwy43 and Kmsiever: thank you for responding to my notes above. When updates are finished, can you ping me and I will conduct another review? I look forward to marking this article as "Satisfactory" at URFA/2020. Z1720 (talk) 22:10, 4 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Hwy43 and Kmsiever: Two years after I have posted this, there is still several instances of uncited text. Also, an orange banner has been placed at the top of the page. Is anyone interested in fixing up this article, or should it go to WP:FAR? Z1720 (talk) 03:58, 5 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I updated the Demographics section (as well as infobox) with the 2021 census results in 2022 as I said I would. I am not active that much on here. It is up to Kmsiever and other watchers to tackle/address the balance of the above. Hwy43 (talk) 05:45, 5 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry. Like I said, I no longer have the capacity to do significant article changes. I haven’t taken a look since my last message. I didn’t even get this notification until now, a month after you tagged me, and only because I remembered I hadn’t logged in for a while. —Kmsiever (talk) 22:53, 8 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Poly553: I see that you have been making edits to this article. Are you willing to address the above concerns? If not, would you or anyone else like to nominate this to WP:FAR? Z1720 (talk) 15:03, 26 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
