Rail transport in Victoria


This peer review discussion has been closed. I've listed this article for peer review because I have substantially expanded, and believe it covers all relevant points of the subject. I have also referenced all relevant statements, and want to know if there is anything I have missed myself.

Review by Peripitus
Just a few notes - not a subject I have any expertise in.
 * The lead section is too short and should summarise the entire article per the notes in WP:LEAD ✅


 * The lead gives the impression that Victoria only used broad, narrow and standard gauge. Although the word narrow links to an article on that subject it's not comprehensive. A list by Tim Fischer tells me that both articles are missing details on the lines made with.
 * "Starvation Narrow" - 4'0" - used in the 19th century only at Starvation creek
 * "Rubicon Narrow" - 3'4 1/2" - Ribicon forest in the 19th/20th centuries
 * "Lorne Log Narrow" - 3'1" - Lorne Pier to Mill
 * and other lines of gauges: 3'0", 900mm, 2'6", 700mm, 2'3"✅


 * The history section, for better flow, should come straight after the lead✅


 * Lots of one-sentence paragraphs that need to be grouped into larger paragraphs following a common theme.✅

 * add non-breaking spaces (& nbsp;) between numbers and the units to prevent them breaking over lines and becoming difficult to read.✅


 * Thanks for the help - any other thoughts? Wongm (talk) 11:26, 24 February 2008 (UTC)
