'''Nomination and Voting'''


== Collaboration of the Day ==
Articles to be improved can be nominated by anyone in the "nominations" section below, with an explanation of what work is needed. Each Sunday, the article with the most support votes is chosen.

;'''Reason''': Love it or hate it, the Hummer H2 has become an icon of American society. The article itself seems to be under the control of editors pushing to demonize the vehicle and even the drivers (quote: ''For USA taxpayers with substantial income other than salaries (e.g. private practice income such as medical practitioners, attorneys, and real estate agents or other independent professionals)...''. Needless to say, this is far from being NPOV. I believe that this is a worthy article that can be improved to Featured Article status, but it needs a lot of love and dedication before it can come anywhere near being a good article. ] | ] | ] 14:32, Jun 8, 2005 (UTC)

:We have been working on improving this article. Please see ] for details. However, to characterize any editor as "pushing to demonize the vehicle" smacks of a personal attack and is not supported by facts. That being said, I would welcome any improvements to the article and support this improvement drive. --] 16:04, Jun 19, 2005 (UTC)

I know this is not a stub, however, this article is surprisingly short compared to other city articles. As mentioned on the talk page by ], "The ] article is quite a bit longer. Rotterdam has more than 100,000 people less than Amsterdam and it is commonly reffered to as The Netherlands' second city." Also the article is quite messy and is nothing compared to ], for example. ---]
