Hamersley, Western Australia

Currently rated GA (as of 7 weeks ago), and has gone through a peer review and an exhaustive rewriting process. Special effort has been undertaken to ensure the article is inline-sourced, using the cite.php system of citation, and that all available literature has been consulted through the State Library of Western Australia. Nearly all the images are photographs taken or drawings made by myself, with only one image having been taken directly from an external source - all are appropriately tagged and have information sections. It also fills a gap in the online literature on this subject. The article is 54 kb, although a large part of this is because of the extensive citations. I hope that this article is worthy of FA status, and I am happy to work through any points raised in this review. Orderinchaos 14:32, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

• Support I am personally aware of the significant work Orderinchaos78 and others have put in, and I applaud his efforts on research and fact checking regarding it's content. I have taken the time to review the article, and I cannot find any issues that would cause it not to meet the Featured article criteria. In the interests of disclosure, I will note that I have awarded the user in question the geography barnstar for his efforts on this and a significant number of other articles relating to suburbs around Perth, Western Australia. thewinchester 14:54, 24 February 2007 (UTC)
• Support I've been doing some small amount of flow editing on this article over the past weeks and finally read the whole thing though. It's comprehensive, accurate and a good read. Very well referenced, no WP:MOS issues I can see and overall meets the Criteria - Peripitus (Talk) 22:57, 24 February 2007 (UTC)
• Support I was asked to review this article and I edited some of the content for grammar, wording and readability, and rewrote the Early History section. The last thing I did was checked all the references for broken links. This article gives a thorough treatment to the subject and also is very solidly referenced, with no WP:MOS issues. I believe this meets the criteria --DanielT5 01:40, 25 February 2007 (UTC)
• Support I've reviewed this a number of times offered suggestions on formating and wording where necessary. OIC has done a wonderful job producing this article which covers the subject completely has appropriate images and all WP:STYLE requirements are addressed. Gnangarra 00:14, 26 February 2007 (UTC)
• Support. Endorse all of the comments above. Todd661 11:19, 26 February 2007 (UTC)
• Support. Well done, a truly encyclopaedic entry on the suburb and a great template for the rest of us Aussies who want to write up their suburbs (heehee) cheers Cas Liber 23:20, 26 February 2007 (UTC)
• Support - excellent work, well done. Can you put the surrounding suburb names on the suburb map in the appropriate places? JROBBO 01:25, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment Nice idea in principal but I think it's fair to suggest this is not necessary, particularly since the information on surrounding suburbs is done in a compass format and could easily be related by the average user to the map. thewinchester 07:05, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
• Support. This truly good article clearly deserves to be classified as FA. It is well written, well cited, and most importantly comprehensive. Cheers OSX 09:16, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
