Moline sounds crappy.
I don't have time to right now, but the interstate part needs to be rewritten I think. Interstate 70 does not come here and it is not north-south.
It the beginning of Interstate 74 that runs through Moline. I live here and was considering doing some work on it too. -- Talen Soti 20:38, 11 April 2006 (UTC)
I-74 is actually an East-West route, not a North-South. Technically, at least. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Uac1530 ( talk • contribs) 20:29, August 11, 2006
It is my personal opinion that the entire Moline page should be deleted and recreated to show the city as it truly is. The original is so poorly written and presented that is makes is difficult to edit and refine. I have done extensive re-writing of the history section and of the moline centre and overlook areas of the neighborhood section. I plan to do more to make this page truly informational and help people realize the great city I know Moline is.

The History section is great. The Neighborhood section continues to be boring. Someone, get rid of it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 152.52.0.3 ( talk) 17:39, 4 November 2009 (UTC)
No mention of Ken Berry? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 152.52.0.3 ( talk) 17:34, 4 November 2009 (UTC)
Arena football is defunct.
400,000 visitors per year to the Commons? This "fact" is not cited. I find the statement highly dubious, or at least... wishful thinking. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 152.52.0.3 ( talk) 17:32, 4 November 2009 (UTC)
Where are people getting the population figures from? They've been amended right up to 2010, but they referenced a source from 2007. Surely if people know these figures, they also know where they got them, and could provide a ref please? For now, I've marked it {{cn}}. Best wishes DBaK ( talk) 07:59, 28 July 2011 (UTC)
I'm inexperience, so sorry in advance.
Altitude: should' this be a standard piece of information?
In support of Cory's fine comments: Geographically a distinctive thing about Moline is the prominent river bluffs of the Mississippi and Rock Rivers and the resulting networks of dendritic ravines that are common in much the city. Because the mach of the ravine system has left intact, Moline is a highly forested city noticeably abundant urban wildlife. JPhilipW ( talk) 21:20, 1 February 2014 (UTC)

The neighborhoods section is a significant concern. Not only is it entirely uncited, it is chock-full of the type of promotional bumf that would even make a realtor blush. (Neighborhood X is home to "upper-class families", Neighborhood Y has "eclectic" homes, "neighborhood Z has a range of historically significant homes"?) What is the purpose of this text - relative to project scope? Without supporting references or attribution of the opinions described, it seems overtly promotional in tone. Of a type inappropriate to the project. Similarly, the "list of businesses in Mall A" falls some way short of the relevant guideline. (For example, for myself, I do not understand how the existence of a McDonald's in a neighborhood is in any way encyclopedically notable or relevant.) If someone more familiar with the subject can take a look, that might be preferable to someone less familiar (like me) undertaking a less forgiving "cull" of all of this uncited editorial.
