I am nominating this featured article for review because it suffers from severe underreferencing (criteria 1c) and the prose is choppy (criteria 1a), such as a couple one-sentence paragraphs and phrasings like "many of which are uninhabited or destroyed nowadays."

Nikkimaria asked me if I have any more concerns. I'll take an in-depth look later, but a quick comment: there are at least two places where footnotes are not in numeric order. —
129: 310:- It looks like quite a bit of work has been done here. Can we get an update as to whether this article should be kept before FARC, or whether it should be moved? 117: 40: 181: 185: 284:
Prose is quite choppy. Example: 97 per cent of men and 93 per cent of women are overweight or obese. - Sentences should not start with numbers

Watch for overlinking; phosphate has been linked several times. Australian dollar too.
169: 275:
There's monsoons above, but no cyclones below. Hmm? Also, drought is repeated twice.
109: 79: 231:
While not a FAR problem, there are many dead sources that should be fixed.
71: 64: 272:- I really doubt that's free or entirely the uploader's own work. 39:
Further comments should be made on the article's talk page or at
213:"Etymology" is only two sentences. Can this be merged somewhere? 266:
Agree with TPH, etymology is really short, prose rather choppy.
291:
That's it from me. Much better than it was three weeks ago. —

Satellite image doesn't need a reference in the caption.
