I'm going to review this article today. Best, Ballpointbiro (talk) 14:50, 13 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The review is complete, I've picked up a few minor things that could be improved. Overall the article is really good, and does not need a lot of work to make GA status. Things to be improved for GA status are in bold italics. Suggestions for future improvements are in italics. Ballpointbiro (talk) 16:04, 13 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Nick-D: Sorry for the delay in getting back to this review, I was away for a few days. You've addressed all the issues I picked up, so I'm happy to give this article GA status. Congratulations! Ballpointbiro (talk) 10:24, 21 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Improved to Good Article status by Nick-D (talk). Nominated by AllegedlyHuman (talk) at 01:13, 22 March 2021 (UTC).[reply]

General: Article is new enough and long enough
Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
Image: Image is freely licensed, used in the article, and clear at 100px.
QPQ: Done.

Overall: Recently promoted GA. Length, overall article sourcing, and neutrality are assumed to have been covered during GAN. Hook is properly cited and interesting enough. Picture is properly licensed. QPQ is not needed as nominator is under 5 credits. I looked into whether the reporter in question was actually a reporter vs. a columnist, but it appears she was a reporter, so the word choice is appropriate.

My only suggestion would be to change "Canberra" to "Canberra, Australia", as it's not so prominent a city that we can assume readers will know the country. I see the article itself doesn't include the country in the lead, though, so just let me know the rationale if it was a considered deliberate decision.

 Done I've added Australia to the blurb. I did not earlier as the page title had not, as you said, though I'm generally indifferent on it. It's usually better to err on the side of more information. All seems to be in order, but let me know still if there's anything else. Thanks. AllegedlyHuman (talk) 04:42, 22 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
