Wikipedia:Peer review/Briagolong railway line/archive1

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I've listed this article for peer review because it concerns a fairly obscure topic that I've put a lot of effort into researching. I'd like some thoughts on the state of this article and tips on how to improve it - I've also got scans/copies of the sources used here if needed for verification, I doubt most editors outside of the state of Victoria would be able to find these books. Apologies if this is the wrong category, by the way, feel free to move it if needed. Wasn't sure where this should go. Thanks, LivelyRatification (talk) 00:46, 4 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

Hi LivelyRatification, I am sorry it has taken so long for someone to respond to this. Here are some suggestions on how to improve the article:

  • The article's sources look like they are of a good quality. To find more sources, please go to WP:LIBRARY (a collection of databases provided by WMF), Google Scholar, or your local library system.
  • Any information on why the rail line closed in 1952?
  • Any information on what has happened to the line after 1952? Are the tracks still there?
  • The lede could be expanded upon, as it is quite short. The lede should be a summary of the article's contents. For this article's length, it should probably be about a paragraph long.

Hope this helps! Please ping if you have any questions. Z1720 (talk) 15:38, 2 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! Thanks for the tips. I'll try and use the resources you've provided to do some further research and expand the lede. And yes, the railway tracks are gone now, I'll add that into the article. --LivelyRatification (talk) 19:24, 2 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@LivelyRatification: are you still working on this article? If not, can we close this PR? Z1720 (talk) 15:17, 16 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Z1720: Apologies, this completely slipped my mind. I did do a bit of research, but couldn't find much. I'll try to expand the lede later today, but yeah, feel free to close the PR! — Preceding unsigned comment added by LivelyRatification (talkcontribs)
