This article achieved FA status in 2005 and as you can imagine has changed significantly since then. The following issues are identified:
- Criterion 1c - many statements are unsourced and in two cases entire sections.
- There is ongoing/stale discussion about the use of either a "country" or a "settlement" infobox, and furthermore whether the article should style itself on other city or country FAs, something with could affect criterion 1d, other than that it is generally quite neutral.
- Criterion 1e - it has been the subject of edit warring (official languages) and move-vandalism.
- Criterion 2a - the lead section is concise but could be longer as per WP:LEAD.
- Criterion 2b - There has been some debate about sections, some seem poorly organised.
- Criterion 2c - inline citations are used extensively in some sections but missed completely in others. Literary references are given but not cited.
- Criterion 4 - article is too long and some sections do not keep to summary style.
Hopefully this article doesn't need too much work but the magnitude of the change since 2005 and the tightening of FA criteria since then justifies a review. --Joowwww (talk) 11:38, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

We can work on all these criteria, but other than requesting article protection and semi-protection, ultimately we can't stop editors from edit-warring and vandalising an FA article (Criterion 1e). Hong Qi Gong (Talk - Contribs) 15:20, 4 May 2008 (UTC)
- Vandalism can't be stopped, but edit-warring can be an indication of problems that need resolving. The other matters can be addressed, as you say.
- In regards to length, I would suggest trimming the longer paragraphs, such as the last in "Economy". John Smith's (talk) 10:25, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
Someone seriously messed up the page. I don't know how to fix it! Protodude1337 (talk) 23:13, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

- Suggested FA criteria concerns are citations (1c), stability (1e), organization (2), and focus (4). Marskell (talk) 19:19, 22 May 2008 (UTC)
CommentI don't see huge problems here; needs a ce and a few more refs is all really. Can this be left open for a week or two. Ceoil (talk) 14:20, 7 June 2008 (UTC)
