Status of inquiry
I can’t find anything that supports that the police or the courts have reopened an investigation. There was an outcry in 2021 and several Australian politicians called for an inquiry, but one article I read claimed that only someone involved in the original inquiry (police officer, etc.) could officially request it be reopened. I don’t know enough about Australian judicial process to know if this is correct. Jrhodes613 (talk) 08:46, 13 November 2023 (UTC)
Peer review
Sydney Ghost Train fire
I've listed this article for peer review because - this is something important I've worked hard on for a long time, most of it is to a pretty high standard and I think it could make a good featured article eventually. Would like to hear what other editors think.

- Too much text is spent on what seem to be the crankish views of a conspiracy theorist with a financial interest in pushing it, along with the sensationalist soft news piece produced about his conspiracy. Most articles about disasters like this stick to the facts and what is verifiable, with minimal weight given to conspiracy. ~2026-11661-94 (talk) 15:08, 13 May 2026 (UTC)
Comments from Z1720
@Thisbe Schultz: Comments after a quick skim:
- I would recommend taking this article to WP:GAN before WP:FAC, as GAN is a lower-threshold evaluation (so its easier to be successful) and will give more thorough feedback before an FAC run.
- I added "citation needed" templates to the article: these would need to be resolved before an FAC run.
- I would recommend WP:GOCE take a look at it, as they can help with wording and point out anything that might be missing.
