Excellent? Good? Fair? Poor? What the hell?

The best pages I've seen so far are Louisville's, Atlanta's, Miami's, Columbia's, Charlotte's, Richmond's, Jacksonville's, Nashville's, Dallas', Houston's, New Orleans', and OKC's.

I checked Mobile's and Augusta's. They both have decent Wikipedia pages. The photos need updating for the Mobile page, but there's a lot of information.

If I recall correctly, the one for Raleigh was decent, too. Of course, getting the population up to date is always hard, but the overall picture is good.

I'm pretty happy with our wikipedia page... It's very detailed, with descriptions of every district and even some upcoming projects and their possible effects on the city.

Check out Oxford, MS on Wikitravel (http://wikitravel.org/en/Oxford%2C_MS)

Maybe people who've contributed good skyline photos here would put them on that city's Wikipedia page.

Very nice. I would like to do the same for the cities I care about. Just a time issue, though :(

I like Birmingham's pretty well. Could use some more photos, but that's alright.

For St.Peterburg the page is ok a little outdated and no new skyline pics and the ones they used were crappy. Its hard to keep up with this city though it changes alot every year.

I'm very happy with the New Orleans page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_orleans

All kinds of imformation, pretty good pictures, and I'm very happy with the new skyscraper info section, which I helped work on a bit.

Raleigh's is lacking. Only one picture, old population figures, needs to show CSA and MSA separately... I could update it in one fell swoop if I weren't a lazy bumb.

Louisville's page is nice, but there are a lot of holes in the information, and some stuff that is rather off. However, considering its been put together by hundreds of misinformed public-folk, I'd say its quite good.

The page may also contain the most fascinating fact found on any southern city's wikipedia page:

90% of the United States' disco balls are made in Louisville.

Yeah, Raleigh's page could use a stellar skyline shot. Wonder where all the talented photographers in Raleigh are? Hmmmm..... :)

Here is Austin's, it seems pretty up to date. I haven't really took an in depth look into it but overall it seems okay.

He is on the "go" all the time, chasing storms :runaway: We all know that he comes back with some impressive images, so we can allow him to take a few trips whenever he gets those skyscraper blues. A for Raleighite, he has not updated his website yet, so it is about time he comes to Raleigh for photos ;)

To be precise, there is no such thing as stellar skyline shot for Raleigh. This will take more than a few more years, but we'll get there. For now, we'll be known as The Year 2008 City :lol:

Atlanta's is nice, though I would like that first skyscraper pic to be a different one.

My new town's entry is tiny. I'm in the process of adding to it and editing, as soon as I finish compiling more info, and getting some pics.
