It has been a while since this article has been reviewed, so I took a look and noticed the following:

There are uncited statements, including entire paragraphs.
There is an "Update needed" banner from 2017.
Some sections, like the "Demography" section, need to be updated with the latest census figures in the prose.

Should this article go to WP:GAR? Z1720 (talk) 15:59, 22 November 2025 (UTC)Reply

Photos run down the left of the article, disrupting section headings. Needs pruning. Magnolia677 (talk) 17:07, 30 November 2025 (UTC)Reply
