Notes for GA reviewer[edit]

I'd like to state my preference for any potential GA reviewer for this article to use {{xt}}, {{!xt}}, or any colour or formatting templates extensively when jotting down their points in the review. This way, my replies to those points, and replies to my replies, can be clearly distinguished between the main point and other main points of the review. I would also like to request that each point be numbered from start to finish in order, with the numbering scheme continuing contiguously through all the sections of the review. This way, I can cite in my edit summaries, in the revision history of the article, which edits pertain to which points of the review. Thanks for your understanding! :)

Comments in very good condition, so some minor quibbles:

  • Image captions which are sentence fragments should not have a full stop.
  • It seems unclear to me whether "Patriote" should be capitalised or not, our own article (to which you link) has it decapitalised in the title. And wouldn't it be "patriote exiles" in any case (singular patriote)?
  • Any reason to not link places such as Darling Harbour?
  • "Sydney Ferries would continue to service" why not just "Sydney Ferries serviced"
  • I don't think we need to link a term as common as coffee.
  • Plenty of overlinking in the Services section.
  • Refs 22 and 23 could use an accessdate.
  • And they're not archived, unlike the rest of the references, any reason?

That's it, this is a good article and once we've just swung by the above, it'll be a Good Article, so on hold for now. The Rambling Man (talk) 09:06, 28 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@The Rambling Man: Thanks for the review! I've incorporated points 1, 2, 4, and 5 without a hitch. Regarding point 3, most of the phrases "Darling Harbour" appears in would be the name of Matilda Cruises routes that would otherwise be links to Matilda Cruises if they had to be wikilinked. Matilda Cruises has already been wikilinked, so it's unnecessary to link it again. As for "Darling Harbour Pier 26", I've made it a wikilink to the "Network" section of Captain Cook Cruises, Australia, since Captain Cook Cruises own and operate that wharf. I'm not sure which wikilinks in the "Services" section you'd want removed, and references 22 and 23 were added by another editor using {{Cite New South Wales transport timetables}}, a template which I personally don't like but has been endorsed by most Transport for New South Wales enthusiasts in the Wikipedia community. I've made some changes to the entire "Interchanges" section overall to address your concerns, which include the removal of this template. Hopefully it'll be a lot more satisfactory. – PhilipTerryGraham (talk · articles · reviews) 10:27, 28 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Regarding overlinking, things like "Matilda Cruises" are linked in both the lead and the preceding section, so it's not necessary to link it again. Similar applies to Cabarita, Parammatta River (which you also sometimes include "route" in the pipe, sometimes not). The Rambling Man (talk) 11:00, 28 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@The Rambling Man: I think it'd be reasonable to have a link per section purely for convenience. It's annoying as a reader to find something and have to look into a preceding unrelated section to find the wikilink for it. – PhilipTerryGraham (talk · articles · reviews) 11:39, 28 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Okay, I had wondered, but MOS:REPEATLINK doesn't advocate that approach. It's not a huge issue but we should all be doing our best to adhere to MOS, even at GAN. The Rambling Man (talk) 12:28, 28 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@The Rambling Man: If it's gonna be that much of an issue, I'll go ahead and remove some wikilinks from the "Services" section, then. – PhilipTerryGraham (talk · articles · reviews) 19:29, 28 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Happy with this now, so passing to GA, good work. The Rambling Man (talk) 12:26, 29 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
