BHP Billiton Ravensthorpe Nickel Project

My first article created, I have spent some time reasearching the project and the events that lead to its demise. I have included quite a few references but am not sure if i should be repeating the same reference in a paragraph. Also seeking input into any additions that should be made. Funkywinders (talk) 05:20, 25 October 2010 (UTC)

Dame Edna Everage

I have just done major work on this article, adding a bibliography, citations, cleaning up the writing (even more than I had done before). Please consider it for GA status and make any comments re further improvement you feel are appropriate. Thanks. Oh, I am not Australian. Does that matter? --TEHodson 09:32, 20 October 2010 (UTC)

Matilda House (person)

This is my first attempt at adding an article. I would appreciate your comments as well as any advice on how to improve it, if possible. Dnb01 (talk) 04:33, 7 October 2010 (UTC)

From the Inside Out

Please see this article I've been working hard on. ozurbanmusic (talk) 23:59, 16 October 2010 (UTC)

July 2010

Patricia Conolly

This biography of a living and notable Australian has had considerable work and references added since being rated Stub-class. I would appreciate a re-evaluation as well as any advice on how to improve it, if possible. Embly (talk) 18:07, 8 August 2010 (UTC)

This has been rerated as Start, which is appropriate.--Grahame (talk) 03:31, 21 August 2010 (UTC)

Education in Australia

Has had considerable work and referencing done since rated Start-class, I think it at least C class, would like someone to rate it and advice on how to improve it, if possible.Shadowmaster13 (talk) 13:10, 13 July 2010 (UTC)

The Memphis Album

by Australian Artist Guy Sebastian

Considerable research and work has been done to this article since it was rated some time ago as Stub-Class on the WikiProject Australia project's quality scale. Would it be possible to have this article reassessed. Many thanks. --Diane (talk) 19:16, 29 June 2010 (UTC)

I've rerated C for same rason as below.--Grahame (talk) 01:44, 2 July 2010 (UTC)

Like It Like That (album)

by Australian Artist Guy Sebastian

Again, considerable research and work has been done to this article. As there has not been a previous assessment of this article, could I please request an assessment by WikiProject Australia.

Thank you. --Diane (talk) 19:16, 29 June 2010 (UTC)

I've rerated it C. I don't normally rate music, so I have not rated it B. I'm not sure if it is sufficiently artisticly critical, it might be seen as having aspects of advertising.--Grahame (talk) 01:43, 2 July 2010 (UTC)

Hi Grahame - thank you very much for taking the time to assess these two articles. I have been looking at other Australian B quality or better album articles to see if there could be an improvement to the above music articles to get a B rating. For example: Mistaken Identity (Delta Goodrem album), Delta (album), Vulture Street. I was not sure what part of the articles had aspects of advertising but I have noticed that the professional reviews have now been removed from the infobox in line with wiki guidelines and are now in the body of the articles - would this make a difference in assessing these articles to B rating. Many thanks to assessors here for your help with this.

Julia Gillard

Start class article substantially expanded. Importance raised from mid to top per other articles on Prime Ministers. 203.7.140.3 (talk) 05:24, 24 June 2010 (UTC)

This has been fixed.--Grahame (talk) 01:33, 2 July 2010 (UTC)

May 2010

Black Honeyeater

I have added referenced information and images to this article, which was previously not much more than a heading and infobox. Marj (talk) 23:42, 16 May 2010 (UTC)

Has been rated B.--Grahame (talk) 01:26, 2 July 2010 (UTC)

April 2010

Australian Football League

I edited some minor stuff in this article that may make a difference. Please consider a re-assessment. Thanks 58.170.226.77 (talk) 11:55, 27 April 2010 (UTC)

This is rated B. It would need to go to WP:GAN to get a higher rating.--Grahame (talk) 08:34, 29 April 2010 (UTC)

Geelong High School (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

It may be worth giving this article an updated assessment as I took out much of the controversial stuff where it wasn't needed and attempted to give it a more neutral point of view. Joker264 (talk) 14:50, 24 April 2010 (UTC)

Orange (NSW) (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views))

This article should be rated higher and needs improving.

March 2010

TransLink (South East Queensland) (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

This article was significantly expanded and references added. Gezzza (talk) 09:34, 28 March 2010 (UTC)

I note this has been rerated B.--Grahame (talk) 08:42, 29 April 2010 (UTC)

TransdevTSL Brisbane Ferries (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

This article was significantly expanded and references added. (Gezzza (talk) 11:42, 24 March 2010 (UTC))

Rerated C. Fairly listy, needs more text to be B.--Grahame (talk) 01:06, 30 March 2010 (UTC)

Cobram, Victoria (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Article rated C class in 2008. Was significantly altered and expanded in January/February 2009, complete with references, spelling and grammar corrections. Toxation (talk) 15:32, 11 March 2010 (UTC)

International Thylacine Specimen Database (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Article initially rated as stub. It has since been significantly expanded and references added.Thylacinus (talk) 01:19, 6 March 2010 (UTC)

I have rerated as start. Much of it is not really written as prose, but more as a list. It has generalised references but no specific citations. It also needs structure and a lead to be considered for B or even C class.--Grahame (talk) 01:23, 17 March 2010 (UTC)

January 2010

Mallee Cliffs National Park (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

This article is at GAN. I suspect it won't be promoted without a proper lead.--Grahame (talk) 01:51, 20 January 2010 (UTC)

December 2009

Australian Cattle Dog (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

More information added with citations. Images more closely linked to content. Grammar and spelling corrected. Marj (talk) 06:42, 28 December 2009 (UTC)

This is already rated B, which is as high as this project rates, and is at WP:GAN.--Grahame (talk) 22:26, 4 January 2010 (UTC)

On Dit (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

I have added many references, and wonder if this article should now rate higher than 'Start' class. Thanks Kathy223 (talk) 15:36, 6 December 2009 (UTC)

I've rerated C, although parts of it are unsourced, it has WP:MOS issues, particularly in regard to the formatting of references and it should have a picture.--Grahame (talk) 13:15, 18 December 2009 (UTC)

November 2009

Yorke Peninsula Field Days (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Recently created, I have assesed it would like a more impartial assesment (I created the page). Shadowmaster13 (talk) 10:02, 29 November 2009 (UTC)

I've rerated C. Needs picture.--Grahame (talk) 13:08, 18 December 2009 (UTC)

Terry Metherell (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

I have recently done a major rewriting and fixing of this page.Thanks Stravin (talk) 13:15, 9 November 2009 (UTC)

I have rerated B, because it is comprehensive and balanced, but it should have a pic and I think the italics in quote is against WP:MOS.--Grahame (talk) 13:05, 18 December 2009 (UTC)

Macquarie University (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

I think this article should be rated of high importance as other Universities and even some high schools without as much prominence are rated of mid to high importance also.

I've bumped up to mid importance.--Grahame (talk) 13:00, 18 December 2009 (UTC)

October 2009

University_of_Wollongong (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

There have been quite a few changes to this article since it was first rated - I think it might be above start-class now. JVPurvis (talk) 01:19, 29 October 2009 (UTC)

I've left it at start as it has little text, little or no assessement of the institution from reliable independent sources and is nor particularly compliant with WP:MOS.--Grahame (talk) 12:59, 18 December 2009 (UTC)

Scitech (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

I just assessed this one as C-Class in WikiProject Science. Could someone please re-assess it for WikiProject Australia? :)--Thecurran (talk) 15:36, 20 October 2009 (UTC)

C seems OK.--Grahame (talk) 12:47, 18 December 2009 (UTC)

September 2009

Gordon Nuttall (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Please assess - Thanks. This is one of Australia's most notorious cases of political corruption. Cablehorn (talk) 05:11, 11 September 2009 (UTC)

I have rerated C, although it is not fully compliant with the mannual of style, particularly in relation to quotes which should be neither bolded nor in italics.Grahame (talk) 12:45, 18 December 2009 (UTC)

Cook Island, New South Wales (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Please assess the article. Thanks. Alex Douglas (talk) 07:42, 9 September 2009 (UTC)

I have rated it C.--Grahame (talk) 02:40, 14 September 2009 (UTC)

August 2009

Rio Tinto espionage case (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

A start level article of significant importance, due to the changes it brought about in Australian-Chinese relations as well as policy changes within China, Australia and the rest of the world. It has also forever changed the way foreign business look at working in China and vice versa. If someone could give it any sort of rating so as to be an indicator on what to work at. I personally think it should be of high importance. Also, I think this article is sorely neglected for the global impact it had. Cheers. Capital Markets (talk) 22:34, 15 August 2009 (UTC)

I've rated this start, partly because its an on-going event.--Grahame (talk) 02:34, 14 September 2009 (UTC)

Robert Askin (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

A large article with high importance, rated B on WikiProject Bio. Probably B here too. Thanks Stravin (talk) 12:52, 10 August 2009 (UTC)

Agreed.--Grahame (talk) 08:47, 13 August 2009 (UTC)

Jordan Jones (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Currently rated Start, hoping to get it to C at least as it is well referenced. Gibbsy^spin 10:15, 10 August 2009 (UTC)

I have rerated it C, but it says very little about him outside football.--Grahame (talk) 08:51, 13 August 2009 (UTC)

Buildings and architecture of Sydney‎ (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Currently rated Start, deserves a B. It is well written, laid out well, and has plenty of illustrations, doesnt go into unneccessary detail, is unbiased and stable. It only requires beter referencing to have a shot at a GA. Mdw0 (talk) 08:54, 6 August 2009 (UTC)

I've rerated it C. It is mainly a collection of lists and it sources are thin.--Grahame (talk) 08:55, 13 August 2009 (UTC)

July 2009

Isaac Smith (sailor) (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Currently rated as stub by other Wikiprojects, but substantially expanded over the last week or so. Euryalus (talk) 03:03, 27 July 2009 (UTC)

I have rerated it C. It would be useful to have some sort of illustatration.--Grahame (talk) 02:25, 28 July 2009 (UTC)

I agree, though the only portrait I can find is on the lid of a snuffbox, which may not format well for an article. I can probably find some images of the ships he commanded, or a map showing the route of his passage on the Endeavour. There's also a poor-quality image of his coat of arms on the wall in Merton Priory, but its too dark to make a good article illustration. Euryalus (talk) 04:10, 28 July 2009 (UTC)

Queen Victoria Market (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Article needs a re-assessment. Chumchum14 (talk) 12:59, 22 July 2009 (UTC)

I've rerated it C (just), but it needs better references.--Grahame (talk) 02:13, 27 July 2009 (UTC)

Z Special Unit (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Additional sections and minor work has been added since it was rated Please re-rate it. Adamdaley (talk) 07:38, 20 July 2009 (UTC)

We only rate up to B. You need to go to WP:MILHIST for A rating or to WP:GAN for Good Article rating.--Grahame (talk) 02:10, 27 July 2009 (UTC)

The Red Paintings (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Entire article rewritten, needs a reassessment. Thanks Ravanast (talk) 23:27, 4 July 2009

Reassessed C by Shaidar cuebiyar.--Grahame (talk) 02:05, 27 July 2009 (UTC)

Lior (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

needs a re-assessment. thanks, Chumchum14 (talk) 05:20, 3 July 2009 (UTC)

I've rerated it Start. It needs independent sources in order to provide a critical assessment of his work with citations and to be rewritten in accordance with WP:MOS for a higher rating.--Grahame (talk) 02:40, 6 July 2009 (UTC)

Football Federation Victoria (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

This definetely needs a re-assessment. thanks, Chumchum14 (talk) 06:35, 2 July 2009 (UTC)

I've rerated it start, but it needs to have reliable third-party sources, with in line citations for a higher rating.--Grahame (talk) 02:30, 6 July 2009 (UTC)

June 2009

Eric Willis (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

A large amount done for this article by me. added photo and more information. Could be a 'b' Thanks Stravin (talk) 11:11, 20 June 2009 (UTC)

Done.--Grahame (talk) 03:35, 21 June 2009 (UTC)

Jerk (band) (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

This article should be listed as low importance to the Australian wiki project. It features a largely unknown band, with no sourced references to their apparent 15 seconds of arguable fame. It also contains little information. I'd even vote deletion... 202.139.186.130 (talk) 22:08, 14 June 2009 (UTC)

Done, but be bold.--Grahame (talk) 02:35, 15 June 2009 (UTC)

Royal Children's Hospital, Melbourne (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

I think this should be in the start-class area, again. Thanks, Chumchum14 (talk) 09:52, 11 June 2009 (UTC)

I've rerated it start.--Grahame (talk) 02:31, 15 June 2009 (UTC)

The Potbelleez (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

I've made a few changes and i think this should be in the start-class area. thanks, Chumchum14 (talk) 06:55, 6 June 2009 (UTC)

I've rerated it start.--Grahame (talk) 02:06, 10 June 2009 (UTC)

Davidson High School (New South Wales) (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

This is one I've been editing for a long time and I think is an important one. It is referenced quite a bit and is comprehensive without being too detailed or listy. The History needs a bit more referencing. I think it could get a low 'B'. It also needs an importance asessment as it is currently unknown. The school is pretty notable for its dance pieces a couple of years ago and its INXS alumni and a NSW politician. Thanks again Stravin (talk) 13:23, 2 June 2009 (UTC)

I've rerated it B just. Low importance, because few schools are particularly notable.--Grahame (talk) 02:11, 10 June 2009 (UTC)

May 2009

Andrew Humpherson (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

I've been biuling this article with references and more info on politics. Can't seem to find any info on his family life or personal life. Will keep looking. I think this might scrape a 'C' class. Currently stub class. Comments welcome. Thanks Stravin (talk) 07:08, 31 May 2009 (UTC)

Done. I seem to have created the original stub as part of an exercise to create stub for serving NSW pollies but I'd forgotten all about it. Much improved.--Grahame (talk) 02:25, 1 June 2009 (UTC)

Anthony Chidiac (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Received no rating yet. Want to expand on it to include personal life etc. according to upcoming news article, but it still needs 1) a photo and 2) a rating. Thanks in advance.

Rerated Start, but you need to read WP:MOS, particularly Wikipedia:Citing sources.--Grahame (talk) 07:09, 23 May 2009 (UTC)

HM Prison Fairlea (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Major work done to expand the article, which has been difficult given limited resources. Shelbypark (talk) 05:53, 19 May 2009 (UTC)

I've rerated C, because I'm not sure whether it is comprehensive.--Grahame (talk) 07:12, 23 May 2009 (UTC)

Bronwyn Bishop (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

I've been extensively improving this page for quite some some and added a lot of references. I have also made sure that info on her political and personal is accurate and not speculative. However, I have not been able to get an appropriate photo of her and some things do need some work but i think it is substantially better than a 'Start-class'. Stravin (talk) 05:07, 19 May 2009 (UTC)

I have rerated C, close to B (like Barry O'Farrell, it would be good to find something to say about her which is not about politics)--Grahame (talk) 07:19, 23 May 2009 (UTC)

Thomas Embling (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

I've done some more work on TE's page and I've added a couple of pictures. The lead section really needs some work (and I'm no good at introductions) but I still think it deserves higher than start class Shelbypark (talk) 06:11, 14 May 2009 (UTC)

I have rerated C, following medicine project, but it is close to B. Lead needs a few more sentences summarising the most significant material in what follows.--Grahame (talk) 04:08, 16 May 2009 (UTC)

Bertie Blackman (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

This Australian singer-songwriter is on the verge of becoming a top Australian music act, I've tried to add some of the hallmarks of a proper musician's page, but I would like re-assessment of this page as I believe it should be of higher priority within the Australian music project. Zac 125 (talk) 9:38, 3 May 2009 (UTC)

This article reads a little like an advertisment, it needs to be more critical, ie it needs to reflect comments from reputable sources made on her music which analyses it rather than just praises it. The worst sources are her own web site or fan sites. The article is also unduely listy. It also refers to her by her first name rather than by her surname which is required by Wikipedia to achieve distance so that Wikipedia can be taken seriously for independence and neutrality. Please read WP:MOS.--Grahame (talk) 04:18, 16 May 2009 (UTC)

Francis Andersen (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Rio Tinto Group (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

This article is of higher importance to other relevant projects; nonetheless this project claims it (it is among the 50 largest Australian companies) and has rated it start so I thought I'd give a heads-up that the article has been completely re-written and expanded. I've also requested GA review and assessment updates from the more relevant mining and companies projects (maybe it's better to just wait and follow their assessment). Bantman (talk) 21:29, 10 April 2009 (UTC)

Marrickville Council (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Did some work on this page to get the ball rolling in moving it up to a higher standard. My first attempt at improving an article - added some new information, new sections, and some new references to existing material. By no means perfect but hopefully a lot better than what was there a few days ago. Any assessment or feedback would be much appreciated. Drbelievo (talk) 06:27, 21 February 2009 (UTC)

Just finished this article after a month's work on it in my sandbox. Have published it but don't know what else needs work. An assessment would be greatly appreciated. Gibbsyspin 02:33, 7 February 2009 (UTC)

I have rated this start. It currently consists almost entirely of lists and tables. It needs a significant amount of text to gain a higher rating. Also its text at present as a high level of words like "tremendous" and "played brilliantly", which fall foul of Wikipedia:Avoid peacock terms. Please read Wikipedia:Manual of Style.--Grahame (talk) 02:53, 15 February 2009 (UTC)

St Patrick's College, Ballarat (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

This article would do better with an importance rating, it would encourage people to work on it more. Does anyone have any advice on getting the standard raised on this article? --In a café we debate decadence a summer butterfly flits (talk) 10:29, 13 January 2009 (UTC)

I've given this a "low" importance rating, because few schools are notable enough to be given a higher rating. This has nothing to do with the quality of the article. The article needs inline sourcing from verifiable sources. Please read the Wikipedia:Manual of Style and Wikipedia:Citing sources.--Grahame (talk) 03:00, 15 February 2009 (UTC)

Robert Wood (Australian politician) (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

I'd like to get this to GA standard, and could use some guidance on whether it is there yet, and if not, what would get it to that point. Cheers. hamiltonstone (talk) 01:57, 7 January 2009 (UTC)

I've rerated C. At a glance it needs a much improved lead to be rated GA. I don't think that the references are formatted in accordance with Wikipedia:Citing sources. It needs a photo.--Grahame (talk) 03:10, 15 February 2009 (UTC)

Aubrey Gibson (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

I'd like to get this to GA standard, bearing in mind the constraint that attempts to find a picture of the subject have drawn a blank. Any other suggestions? hamiltonstone (talk) 01:57, 7 January 2009 (UTC)

I note this is at WP:GAN and comments will no doubt be made there. I think though that it will need a much more substantial lead.--Grahame (talk) 03:14, 15 February 2009 (UTC)

Dee Why, New South Wales (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Substantial expansion and sophistication since last assessment. Also, much more informative than article on nearby Collaroy, New South Wales which is rated C-Class, while Dee Why is only Start Class. Terovian (talk) 14:31, 16 November 2008 (UTC)

I rerated as C-class, too much dependence (over half) on Warringah Council sources, also the history section is lacking any substance and the government section is very limited on the LGA has only current members with a passing note. Gnangarra 01:11, 17 November 2008 (UTC)

I've had a read of this. Needs work on punctuation, but otherwise, not sure what is holding it back from being rated GA. Grahame? Cheers! hamiltonstone (talk) 02:21, 7 January 2009 (UTC)

Internet in Australia (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Hi, the internet in australia article has been been restructured and updated stats put in, more neutral viewpoint and more references. may be beyond start category have not rerated. Good if I could have an outside perspective.Digmores (talk) 04:31, 20 October 2008 (UTC)

I have rerated as B-class, it has a solid structure and broadly covers the topic, history will need more work and improvement of sources before GA. Also be careful of focusing on news events and individual companies this is meant to be an overview article such specific can/should be within the company articles.

Hello! I recently expanded this article from the short section that it was, and feel that it may exceed Stub quality. Could someone have a gander? \ / (⁂) 01:44, 11 October 2008 (UTC)

I have rerated C, but it is still missing some biography.--Grahame (talk) 03:00, 11 October 2008 (UTC)

I agree with Grahame, and suggest using WP:CIT for the notes/citations, where possible. Shelbypark (talk) 11:55, 25 October 2008 (UTC)

Cairns Tilt Train derailment (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

New article after some time researching and writing, keen for an idea how it went and be improved.  SEO⁷⁵ 09:34, 30 September 2008 (UTC)

I'm relatively new to WP and not yet confident enough to rate pages, but I would suggest looking at your inline references. There are a few paragraphs without references. I would really like to see an inline ref on the statement The prima facie cause of the incident was excessive speed; in the opening paragraph - but maybe that's just me. Otherwise it's a nice article. Shelbypark (talk) 12:04, 25 October 2008 (UTC)

John Cade (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

I've done a bit of work on this article (photos, info box, expanded information and references), and was wondering if it now qualifies as C Class? Shelbypark (talk) 07:52, 20 September 2008 (UTC)

I have rerated thus C, but with improvements to references it could be B. The ADB and the first and fourth external links could provide refs for most of this material. The second external link is dead and the third is irrelevant.--Grahame (talk) 07:49, 22 September 2008 (UTC)

Kew Asylum (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

I was wondering if someoune could reassess the Kew Asylum - I have significantly expanded it since it was assessed as a Start class. Shelbypark (talk) 14:48, 11 September 2008 (UTC)

I have rerated B and suggest WP:GAN, but I don't like lead being squeezed between photo and infobox. Photo should really be at top of infobox, although I don't know how to do that. Also photos shouldn't be more than 300px (Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style#Images) and refs should come straight after puctuation.--Grahame (talk) 11:23, 14 September 2008 (UTC)

Thank you for your suggestions. I have rearranged the photo and info box at the top, made some of the thumbnails smaller and fixed up the punctuation in relation to references. Is there anything else I should do ? Shelbypark (talk) 10:45, 16 September 2008 (UTC)

I have changed a couple of in-line links with refs. In-line links are not acceptable for good articles (but then again refs are not meant to be used where information has not been sourced from them; things refered to in articles should really have their own articles if they are notable). Citations should be in consistant formats (as produced by cite web etc templates for instance).--Grahame (talk) 02:37, 22 September 2008 (UTC)

Thank you for the WP:CIT link - I have finally corrected all the citations and I've nominated it for GA Shelbypark (talk) 16:26, 27 September 2008 (UTC)

Wesley College, Melbourne (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Hi guys, we have just recently been reviewed to become an GA article, however due to some problems (which we have now fixed) we didnt meet the criteria. We were wondering if someone can please to an importance rating assessment for us. We are hoping for a rating of High/Top for WPSchools and mid/high for WPAustralia. All suggestions, comments, etc. welcomed and will be grealty appreciated. Thank you in advance! Sheepunderscore (talk) 08:21, 10 September 2008 (UTC)

I have changed importance to mid for Education in Australia, and for Melbourne because it is one of the more famous schools in Australia. But requests for WPschool assessment are a bit out of scope here! Wikipedia is not a place to promote schools. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 21:08, 27 September 2008 (UTC)
