GA from 2015. Main problem is some unsourced material here and there. Though I do feel that if someone puts their time and energy into this article then they could easily fix it. Onegreatjoke (talk) 04:43, 7 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Onegreatjoke: Removed chunks of information, some unsourced and unfounded, others coming mainly from primary source. Added a few citations and moved few others. It needs a rewrite and update, but for now I think the GA status can be retained. Makeandtoss (talk) 10:32, 7 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Problems that I have spotted:

• A few sentences needing citations still.
• There were eight registered radio stations broadcasting from Amman by 2007. Most English language stations play pop music targeted towards young audiences. This needs to be updated. I am also left wondering what proportion of radio stations are English language and which proportion are Arabic.
• although the mountainous terrain of the area has prevented the connection of some main roads, which are instead connected by bridges and tunnels. What does that mean? Are the bridges and tunnels not roads?
• There are eight circles, or roundabouts, that span and connect west Amman. What does this mean? I get the feeling they are not talking about actual roundabouts.
• The municipality began construction on a bus rapid transit (BRT) system as a solution in 2015. This needs to be updated. It also contradicts with the following paragraph, which states: Construction work on the BRT system started in 2010.
• The images in the gallery at the bottom should be better integrated with the article as per WP:GALLERY.

• Steelkamp, I have fixed most of these. The circles do refer to actual roundabouts, but the sentence has been clarified. WP:GALLERY is not a part of the good article criteria. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 19:38, 20 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
