Once these issues have been addressed, the article can be renominated. Editors may also seek a reassessment of the decision if they believe there was a mistake. | |||||||||||||

This article did not go through the current GA nomination process. Looking at the article as is, it fails on criteria 2b of the GA quality standards. Although references are provided, the citation of sources is essential for verifiability. Most Good Articles use inline citations. I would recommend that this be fixed, to reexamine the article against the GA quality standards, and to submit the article through the nomination process. -- RelHistBuff 10:36, 9 August 2006 (UTC)
Renominated, I didn`t quite understand the GA process the first time, and listed instead of nominated, whoops. Ghostieguide 00:15, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
I evaluated the article based on 7 criteria:
There are a lot of red links, which, if they were for specific things, would be fine, but for convict ship? Only a neutral for that though, not enough to fail it. Referrences are though. As you said above, in-line cites arent' required. Almost every GA article there is uses them, but they're not required. You still have to cite things though. Just saying that such and such a book is a referrence isn't enough- what page is it on? What information did you use from that book? In-line cites not being required is an aesthetic issue, not a content issue- you still need all of that information, even if you choose to display it in a different way. If you're willing to cite the article correctly, even if you want to do it in a different manner than in-line, send me a message on my talk page- I'll re-evaluate the article immediately, rather than waiting for it to go through GAC again. (Especially since it took almost a month this last time.) -- PresN 23:00, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

on hold for 7 days, lead does not summarize the article and need more refs and refs need consistent formatting. Sumoeagle179 15:30, 21 December 2006 (UTC)
Passed. Good start. More refs and detail would further improve it. Suggest using cite fmt for refs. Sumoeagle179 11:16, 3 January 2007 (UTC)
I've started inlining the references that I used when I originally wrote the article. This will take a while, and in the meantime there will be some {{ fact}} tags floating around.
In a few places where I have superior references to hand, I have temporarily replaced the inferior references by {{ fact}} tags. Apologies for the temporary loss of refs.
I've also rewritten the first paragraph of the intro. The intro needs another paragraph that summarises what it was like to be a convict in Western Australia.
I propose to move this article to Convict era of Western Australia. Hesperian 11:05, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
Deleted my contributions to this article as I discovered that the Catalpa Rescue already has it's own article, so I bunged it in as a "see also" instead. petedavo 10:38, 9 February 2007 (UTC)
As part of the WikiProject Good Articles, we're doing sweeps to go over all of the current GAs and see if they still meet the GA criteria. I believe the article currently has multiple issues that need to be addressed. Unfortunately, due to the amount of uncited statements (many tagged since February 2007), I have delisted this article. However, the article can be return to GA status by addressing the following points below. Once sources are added and cleanup is done, I recommend renominating the article at WP:GAN. If you need assistance with any of these issues, please contact me on my talk page and I'll do my best to help you out. --Happy editing! Nehrams2020 ( talk • contrib) 23:35, 9 May 2009 (UTC)
