I've listed this article for peer review because I'd like to get a sense of whether or not this article meets FA criteria. This article has been promoted to Good status and received a copy edit from the Guild of Copy Editors. I am wondering if I should try taking it to the next level... Any feedback is much appreciated.

I am working on it now and will have comments posted here within two or three days. Since you are looking to take it to FA, I will try my best to compare it to those standards. I may make some copy edits along the way as it's just in my blood. - Pax Verbum 05:16, 9 August 2016 (UTC)
I found myself with some extra time today, so here you go... I made some small edits along the way. Anything I found significant is listed in red. Please let me know if you have any questions!
Featured articles are (any discrepancies are in red)—
well-written: its prose is engaging and of a professional standard
comprehensive: it neglects no major facts or details and places the subject in context
well-researched: it is a thorough and representative survey of the relevant literature. Claims are verifiable against high-quality reliable sources and are supported by inline citations where appropriate;
neutral: it presents views fairly and without bias; and
stable: it is not subject to ongoing edit wars and its content does not change significantly from day to day, except in response to the featured article process.
It follows the style guidelines, including the provision of—
a lead: a concise lead section that summarizes the topic and prepares the reader for the detail in the subsequent sections;
appropriate structure: a system of hierarchical section headings and a substantial but not overwhelming table of contents; and
consistent citations: where required by criterion 1c, consistently formatted inline citations using either footnotes or Harvard referencing—see citing sources for suggestions on formatting references. The use of citation templates is not required.
Media: It has images and other media, where appropriate, with succinct captions, and acceptable copyright status. Images included follow the image use policy. Non-free images or media must satisfy the criteria for inclusion of non-free content and be labeled accordingly.
Length: It stays focused on the main topic without going into unnecessary detail and uses summary style.
Overall, a very well-written article. My biggest concerns are filling in some of the small blanks and those images. I enjoyed this one since I know the area so well (my university is just outside Portland, although I am currently transplanted for a few months. Thank you for this, and I am sorry it took so long to get a peer review! - Pax Verbum 20:43, 9 August 2016 (UTC)
