Eugowra
I appreciate the effort you have made to add more content to the article, such as the history, and make corrections (e.g. the 2 local government areas). However, if your changes are to stay, you need to do a couple of things. Firstly, the "tone" of what you have written reads like a marketing/tourist brochure, not like an encyclopedia. There is nothing wrong with describing about the town's attractions, but "Whether you want to take a stroll around the Village and take in ..." is not acceptable language. Nor "there is something for everyone". And it is not the only Australian town known for its murals (indeed, having driven recently through western Queensland, murals seem to be the thing a town creates when it doesn't have much else by way of natural attractions). And the focus should be the attractions of Eugowra itself, not things in other places (being within daytrip range of other places isn't an attraction). The second thing is to add citations. Readers are entitled on now where this information comes from. Information without citations may be removed by anyone who questions it. So can you take the time to make the tone less promotional and more factual and add the sources (it is OK if the sources are the tourism brochures produced locally, just say where this information comes from/can be confirmed). Please ask if you need help. Kerry (talk) 01:07, 8 August 2019 (UTC)
