Eureka Stockade[edit]

I think this is a valuable and well-written Australian history article. I nom'd this a long time ago, and it was shot down for reasons I can't quite recall. :) Another user just went through it with a "scalpel and a chainsaw" and it also now has pictures. jengod 20:49, May 10, 2004 (UTC)

  • I am that "other user", and I support this nomination. Not only was the article a compelling story to begin with, but it tells of a seminal event in Australia's history. Denni 02:49, 2004 May 11 (UTC)
  • support. great article. maybe the image of ballarat could be trimmed a little, though, it's too wide with respect to its height, so it doesn't look like much. clarkk 08:09, 14 May 2004 (UTC)[reply]
    • swapped pix, better now i think :) jengod 22:50, May 14, 2004 (UTC)

  • Another sentence in the lead section would top this article off. --mav
  • Done. And a fine sentence too, I must say! Denni 05:24, 2004 May 18 (UTC)
