I've listed this article for peer review because I'd like to know what's required to make this a featured list, if at all it is possible. The list is complete and stable for some time now.

Brianboulton comments: This is a great idea for an article; one of the beauties of Wikipedia is that it hosts information like this, which you are unlikely to find in any other encyclopedia or information source, at least in this form. So well done in bringing this forward. I have a few suggextions for developing/improving it:-

I don't think that either the choices of column, or the column order, are the most the most logical. Because he cells tend to be large due to the images, you can get more information into a single cell; thus I believe that coordinates and sctivity status could be included in the first column together with the name.
I think you need a summary information to give details at presently lacking, e.g. when each lighthouse was built, its period of active life, etc.
At present, none of the information in the table is cited to a source. A "Ref" column would enable you to cite the information in each row directly to its source.
In my view the most logical column order would be:-
- Name etc
- Location
- General information
- Reference
- Image
Do you really need links to two maps of coordinates, at the head of the article? If these are your sources for the coordinates they should be listed among your references.
I think the lead could be extended a little, to fulfil its required function as a summary of the contents of the article.

Please note that these are suggestions, which you are of course at liberty to ignore. As I am not able to watch peer reviews individually, plese contact my talk page if you have any issues arising from the review, or if you want me to look at the article again.

Thank you very much for the suggestions, they do make sense. I am going on vacation for about two weeks, and I am sure to use most of your advice when I'm back and contact you again. --Muhandes (talk) 18:49, 4 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
