I'll take a look. I will make straightforward changes as I go and jot queries below. Please revert if I accidentally change the meaning. Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 20:24, 8 August 2019 (UTC)


 * It'd be nice to expand the The first inhabitants section a little - you mention "evidence", that would be good to expand on.


 * When you first mention someone, use their full name (then surname for subsequent mentions). Also some descriptors at first mention "explorer", "pastoralist" etc.


 * Align all references - ensure author names are all "Smith, John" not a mixture of that and "John Smith", "Smith J" (without comma and stop etc.)


 * The last paragraph of Early settlement needs a citation - seems a bit oversimplified as well. More info on the disappearance of local people would be good.


 * Is the last para of Self-government needed or too much detail?


 * The Geography needs a few citations. also maybe mention somewhere that Queanbeyan is sort of part of Canberra 'sphere' but outside ACT?


 * Notable geological formations in the Australian Capital Territory include the Canberra Formation, the Pittman Formation, Black Mountain Sandstone and State Circle Shale. - formations are not italicised

1. Well written?:
 * Prose quality:
 * Manual of Style compliance:

2. Factually accurate and verifiable?:
 * References to sources: - some citations needed
 * Citations to reliable sources, where required:
 * No original research:

3. Broad in coverage?:
 * Major aspects:
 * Focused: - some fine-tuning of content needed

4. Reflects a neutral point of view?:
 * Fair representation without bias:

5. Reasonably stable?
 * No edit wars, etc. (Vandalism does not count against GA):

6. Illustrated by images, when possible and appropriate?:
 * Images are copyright tagged, and non-free images have fair use rationales:
 * Images are provided where possible and appropriate, with suitable captions:

Overall:
 * Pass or Fail: - article in fair shape. Above issues coam about on first read. There might be others but nothing gross jumps out (referencing not checked at this point). Given there has been no activity I am closing this for the time being but am happy to review if renominated Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 04:22, 13 September 2019 (UTC)
