The article is lacking in sources in many places. It is also lacking in information on whether any hospitals or schools are accessible to the areas. The information about the politics needs to be more specific as the area is only a very small part of the electorate, and the overall restul of the area may not be reflective of the particular enclave. The first two websources in the citelist are not acceptable. The first is an ameteur source. Teh second leads to the front page of a news site without anythign specific YellowMonkey (new photo poll) 02:13, 9 September 2010 (UTC)

• The politics section covers various levels of government, only one of which has a ward that corresponds closely to the Catlins. But they are all covered, including the parliamentary electorate that includes the Catlins. I don't see a real problem there.
• I'm not suprised there's been some linkrot in the sources over the last four years. I'll see about replacing those two. --Avenue (talk) 03:56, 9 September 2010 (UTC)

• That passage (on big wave surfing) is now reworded and I think well sourced. --Avenue (talk) 13:07, 9 September 2010 (UTC)

• Comment regarding the issues:

• There is a unreferenced paragraphs starting with and Tahakopa-Wyndham route and (820 ft) long tunnel in the "Transport" section, which has not cited.

• This is now sourced.--Avenue (talk) 12:37, 28 September 2010 (UTC)

• This section "Government" has no footnotes or citations. This falls into section 1c.

• This section now has seven inline citations.--Avenue (talk) 12:25, 28 September 2010 (UTC)

• Four down, four to go. --Avenue (talk) 13:27, 9 September 2010 (UTC)
• I'm still looking for a replacement for the southlandnz.com source. All the other dead links are fixed. --Avenue (talk) 00:47, 18 September 2010 (UTC)

• I haven't found a replacement for that last link, so I've removed the statement it supported. --Avenue (talk) 13:57, 28 September 2010 (UTC)

• I've added a small section on schools. It's very rough and ready, though, so will need substantial copyediting to get it into FA shape. Grutness...wha? 05:49, 9 September 2010 (UTC)

The nearest dedicated secondary schools are South Otago High School in Balclutha and Menzies College in Wyndham. - what about adding an indication of how far away those places are? Kahuroa (talk) 11:51, 17 September 2010 (UTC)

I wouldn't have thought that necessary. Both Wyndham and Balclutha are marked on the Catlins area map near the top of the article, and since the boundaries of The Catlins are imprecise any kilometre value would be as well. Grutness...wha? 00:37, 18 September 2010 (UTC)

FARC commentary

Featured article criterion of concern are sources and comprehensiveness YellowMonkey (new photo poll) 02:48, 28 September 2010 (UTC)

• Delist for FA criteria concerns above. JJ98 (Talk) 02:55, 28 September 2010 (UTC)

• Delist per criterion three issues:
  • File:NZ-Catlins.png - Needs a verifiable source per WP:IUP.
  • File:Catlinsmap.jpg - Same as above.
  • See MOS:CAPTION regarding period usage. Эlcobbola _talk 14:56, 28 September 2010 (UTC)
