Thank you for choosing to complete the review! The first rebuild of the article was completed by another user with basically no involvement from me. Upon seeing it quick fail, I decided to pick up the article and rebuild it to a higher standard, similar to the other articles that I've rebuilt in the past. Looking forward to working with you as you provide feedback. I'll try and get to the recommendations tonight. HoHo3143 (talk) 07:28, 1 August 2023 (UTC)

@Brachy0008 I've completed all of your suggestions and am ready for more (unless its ready to promote) HoHo3143 (talk) 10:58, 3 August 2023 (UTC)

I feel I’m ready to promote. The article looks good so far. Brachy08 _(Talk) 00:18, 4 August 2023 (UTC)

This is the second GA review, after the first one, which was insta-failed. I can see that some of the stuff have been fixed by now, but I might have to let you know, there are lots of sentences that can do with a citation, I’ve noted some with the [citation needed] template. I’ll put this on hold. Don’t worry, you can do this!

Question re citing

I have 2 questions:

• How would you cite this statement: "These works resulted in the re-opening of a section of the South Gippsland line to passengers which became known as the Cranbourne Line." - The original line was known as the South Gippsland line, it closed, then reopened. How does someone go about citing a thing that you can physically see?

• • • Y sourced it with a references from earlier in the paragraph

• "... the project was abandoned in 2008 by his successor John Brumby." - this may be hard to cite, it is possibly no longer referenced after a certain date and hence listed as abandoned. The lack of any further mention of this may be the reason it is listed as abandoned (eg forgotten about by the government). If this is the case (which can sometimes happen), how can things like this be cited?

• • • Y fixed with an additional reference stating what I said

Other stuff

Also, you have inserted "{{" and a "nowiki" tag into the first paragraph of Cranbourne line#21st century. --ThylacineHunter (talk) 04:40, 1 August 2023 (UTC)

I’ll delete those Brachy08 _(Talk) 04:57, 1 August 2023 (UTC)

I have run into the issue of how do you cite something you can physically see a few times now and I'd like to know how to go about citing this sort of thing (eg on another track article "... which had not been repaired as of July 2018.[citation needed]"). -- ThylacineHunter (talk) 05:06, 1 August 2023 (UTC)

Try your best to do it. Brachy08 _(Talk) 05:33, 1 August 2023 (UTC)
