I've listed this article for peer review because I am thinking about nominating it for GA-status one day. This article did underwent early copyediting, but this article has long ways to go before being considered a GAN. I think a peer review would be a good start.

Comments from Z1720

Comments after a quick skim:

There should be a citation at the end of every paragraph, minimum.
The "Government" and "Roads and paths" sections are uncited and this will need to be rectified
There's an orange banner on top of "Neighbourhoods". Has this been resolved? Considering that many paragraphs don't have citations, I think the banner will need to stay for the time being.

I hope this helps. Z1720 (talk) 23:05, 24 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I do have a couple questions.

There’s this one sentence mentioning gentrification in the lead summary and I would like to know what’s the best section to talk about the gentrification process?
Also for the film section paragraph, I’m trying to update the link and find a new link that talks about the travel fees but this one is the only one I could find. Anything I can do?
I was just trying to use IA BOT but it wasn’t working for me. Anything I can do?

1) Information about gentrification and the changing aspects of the neighbourhood should probably go in the history section.

2) Sometimes it's not working. Just try again later, and it's not a big deal if it doesn't work.

3) I have no idea where to find more information about this. Maybe the union website? Or the NYC website?

@Z1720: I will point out some things I wanted to address.

I have started the gentrification/redlining section and included it in the history section.
I know I was asking about that sentence. The sentence I was referring to in the film paragraph section is this one:
Yonkers is part of New York City's union zone, meaning crews do not need to be paid travel fees
That sentence recommends that the source gets updated because it is a 20-year-old article.
I do have questions about the economy section. I started doing that section as well but any suggestions on what I can add in that section?

@The Cadillac Ranger: Sorry it's taken so long for me to respond. I recommend looking at Hamilton, Ontario, which was recently fixed up by an experienced FA writer. I suggest using Hamilton as a model for this article's Economy section. Z1720 (talk) 00:51, 13 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your help regarding this matter. I added information about the brewery in Yonkers in the economy section per this section guideline and will likely find more necessary information for the economy section. The Cadillac Ranger (talk) 02:39, 2 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
