Very good article on a neglected subject. The article is basically at GA standard now but I have some suggestions I would like you to consider before promoting.
Let me know when you have done those that you feel are relevant and I will take another look. The GA is on hold for now. -- Mattinbgn\ talk 04:54, 27 December 2007 (UTC)
I am glad to report that this article nomination for good article status has been promoted. This is how the article, as of December 28, 2007, compares against the six good article criteria:
This is a comprehensive, well written article. If you feel that this review is in error, feel free to take it to Good article reassessment. Thank you to all of the editors who worked hard to bring it to this status, and congratulations.— Mattinbgn\ talk 05:57, 28 December 2007 (UTC)
"Yulgilbar" redirects to Baryulgil, New South Wales, and that article makes no mention of any alternative name for the town. Colonies Chris ( talk) 22:57, 1 February 2014 (UTC)
It is a parish according to Yulgilbar at Geographical Names Board of New South Wales at 29°17′00″S 152°34′00″E / 29.28333°S 152.56667°E. The parish appears to include Baryulgil. Parishes in Australia are not used except in property titles and Baryulgil, although very small would be the normal way to describe the locality. The two names presumably have a common Aboriginal origin. See also Baryulgil, which says it is "apparently a corruption of 'YULGILBAR' the name of Edwards Ogelvie's Run".-- Grahame ( talk) 00:48, 23 February 2014 (UTC)
This article has some vague and sweeping assertions that need, in my opinion, some clarification. "Marsh's lack of opportunities has often been attributed to racial discrimination." "The most popular of these theories was that Marsh was scapegoated in a campaign against throwing and was a soft target because of his race."
As it's today's featured article, and as I am unsure whether Weasel, By whom?, or Citation required is the appropriate annotation, I have simply added this comment to Talk. 122.106.178.25 ( talk) 01:33, 23 February 2014 (UTC)
Just to clarify my comment, my intention was not to bring the comments into doubt, but, this being an encyclopaedia, improve the verifiability etc. For example, "The most popular..." - amongst whom?, how measured?, by what degree? - any citations available? 122.106.178.25 ( talk) 00:50, 16 March 2014 (UTC)
