A recap of
user:Finetooth's
review assessment, and the current status:
:The section with the list of famous names is a bit tougher, but you could start by eliminating people like Ralph Plumb who already appear in other sections. The goal would be to work the other important people into the text sections as part of the general narrative and to eliminate or greatly reduce the "Notable residents" list.
You can get more ideas about city articles by looking at ones that have attained featured status. You'll find these listed at WP:FA. The suggestions at WP:USCITY are also quite helpful. -- Ljmajer ( talk) 21:43, 2 November 2008 (UTC)
I am currently working on a new wikipedia article for Worthy S. Streator, the entrepreneur whom Streator is named for. It currently is in my sandbox: User:Ljmajer/Sandbox2. I am looking for any information regarding Streators death and burial. This information has escaped me so far. If anyone can point me in the right direction, I'd be most appreciative. -- Ljmajer ( talk) 01:11, 17 November 2008 (UTC)
As the current primary editor for this article, I know that I should not be the one offering an assessment, but it appears that both attached projects WikiProject:Illinois (assessment) and WikiProject Cities are not actively assessing articles (at least humans aren't). Much work has been added to the article since October, and much more needs to be done. I will update the article to "C" status, based on the recently completed review assessment. Upon completion of the assessment recommendations I will update to a "B". Please comment if you're of another opinion. -- Ljmajer ( talk) 04:04, 4 December 2008 (UTC)
Isn't it just Streator High School? There is no Streator Township, Streator is in Bruce and Eagle Townships. Even the school's website can not decide, calling it Streator Township High School but SHS right after, and can not be used for a valid source then. 173.24.117.126 ( talk) 11:29, 12 April 2010 (UTC)
Regarding the recent addition of a crime (apparently it occurred in Streator, but the writer doesn't state that in his entry)... I moved it from the transportation section, to the "Law and Government" section, but am questioning it's noteworthiness and encyclopedic value in this article. There are a number of crimes and incidents that could be included, but unless it add to the discussion of defining the city, is it necessary to include it here? Do we need to add the Dylan Mesarchik case? If so, I'll create a subsection under "Law and Government" for "Crimes in the city".. we can list all the titillating cases, though again, I don't think any of these helps to define Streator, or make this article more encyclopedic. Your thoughts are appreciated.. Ljmajer ( talk) 10:08, 2 November 2010 (UTC)
