I feel this is a very comprehensive article that is stable as mainly only a few editors have been involved in expanding and sourcing the content. It has been copy edited to ensure it is well written, and has numerous images to complement and not dominate the content. I think it meets all the criteria of an FA class article.

(unindent) Yes, that's why while was being used. One statue versus the nearly identical (in size and material) one on the opposite side of the same entrance (twice). One set of sculptures at the front entrance versus those at the back entrance. And finally the dimensions of the old part of the building versus the newer part. Maybe a few less "while"s, but I don't think they all need to go. Aboutmovies 20:54, 24 July 2007 (UTC) reply
The intro should receive some attention; it should be divided into an additional paragraph or two, so that each paragraph concerns only one topic. The fact that the Federal Government partially funded the current government should be moved, so that it's alongside the other bits about cost and funding. Also, the intro should mention that the capital city was changed several times in controversial votes, and that multiple buildings were used.
The section entitled "History" should be renamed. The entire article is essentially a history. That section specifically recounts the controversies around the location of the capitol, and the fact that it was moved around among several cities. A title more like "Shifting locations in the early years," or "Early controversy over location", or something along those lines would be better.
Sorry, I see that I misunderstood. I think "Previous buildings and locations" would be the best title for the section (since it includes the sub-sections on the first, second, and third capitols.)
