[edit] Initial assessment

Well beyond a stub. to become a "B" article it needs expansion especially in ecology and planning history and it need more sourcing and images. Anlace 02:55, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

I added a link in the External Links section to a 71Miles' article, but did not change any other part of the entry. 71Miles is my company. Our articles are a valuable resource to Wikipedia readers when presented in the appropriate context. Our articles are written to inform readers about a destination. To include them in the External Link section is to use that section exactly as it is intended. I have seen multiple instance where links to The New York Times articles and other prominent publications are included in External Link sections on similar topics. Since our writers have been published by the New York Times and other prominent publications, and 71Miles articles are of equal quality, it would have to be bias against independent publishers not to include our links while allowing the Times' links to remain. Also, on this External Links section, a link to Calistoga Visitors Bureau is included; these are paid links. Business must be paying members to be included. (Asruge 21:03, 4 July 2007 (UTC))
