Pass
Well-written
Overall for the most part, 
Pass.
Done 
Caution Some of the acronyms in political careers could be confusing for people not familiar to this topic.
- @Jacksonvil:, I have edited to expand acronyms on first usage, where the term is used more than once and removed them where they were only used only. I have also removed some wikilinks which were used in the article multiple times and done some slight copy editing.
- Ps, thankyou for your time undertaking this review. Just in case you weren't aware, you'll need to do some spot checking on the sources to confirm that they do in fact state what is reflected in the article. Please let me know if you need any quotes during the process (especially with the newspapers.com sources as I have access).TarnishedPathtalk 10:04, 14 March 2026 (UTC)
Verifiable
Pass as far as I can see, has secondary sources from reliable news outlets and official sources from government
- Follow up - spot checks
- Source [3] (a, b) checked
- Souce [7] - note on very close paraphrasing to the article title
- Source [25] checked
- Source [32] checked
- @Jacksonvil: can you clarify which source you found very close paraphrasing with? When I just ran Earwig, I found 33% with the SMH source to do with public housing demolitions; however, that is mostly down to quotations. Source 7 in the article is a Green Left Weekly source (https://www.greenleft.org.au/2011/900/news/yarra-socialist-party-councillors-pledge-support-occupy-melbourne) and Earwig didn't find anything with that. Is there something that a closer read picks up that Earwig doesn't? TarnishedPathtalk 11:45, 14 March 2026 (UTC)
- It's not a big problem, there isn't really any other way to phrase it Jacksonvil (talk|contribs) 01:27, 15 March 2026 (UTC)
