Review progress and notes
[edit]- The article is stable.
- I am satisfied with the licensing of the images. Not a requirement, but given that the article is ~4000 words, a couple more images would be ideal, I personally wasn't able to find anything useable in a Google & flicker search. GMH Melbourne (talk) 08:49, 18 April 2024 (UTC)
- I checked the National Archives of Australia and only found one more image, but it is too low quality to use in the article. Steelkamp (talk) 02:43, 19 April 2024 (UTC)
- No problem, I also found some images on Wiki Commons but I don't think they are very relevant to the article's contents. GMH Melbourne (talk) 02:49, 19 April 2024 (UTC)
- Spot check completed: info is verifiable and free from copyright violations. GMH Melbourne (talk) 08:49, 18 April 2024 (UTC)
- No issues with the references section layout. GMH Melbourne (talk) 08:49, 18 April 2024 (UTC)
- Prose Review– Small changes, I have performed myself. Other comments, I have left below. — GMH Melbourne (talk) 02:38, 19 April 2024 (UTC)
- Update: I should be able to finish most of the review tomorrow, hopefully all completed by Sunday. GMH Melbourne (talk) 15:31, 19 April 2024 (UTC)
- I should be able to finish off the prose review and the other items on the GA criteria by today. GMH Melbourne (talk) 02:37, 22 April 2024 (UTC)
- I have finished the prose review. Once you have addressed the comments I will give the article a final read through. GMH Melbourne (talk) 10:02, 22 April 2024 (UTC)
- Thank you for that. I have ticked off prose after giving it a final read-through, the only outstanding item is the section titles which I've highlighted in purple below, let me know your thoughts on the suggestion. GMH Melbourne (talk) 14:11, 22 April 2024 (UTC)
- I've changed the section titles now. Steelkamp (talk) 08:30, 23 April 2024 (UTC)

oddity
[edit]It was almost a sport amongst librarians in the 1970s to include the photo of John Tonkin with students in front of one of the group settlement schools that he taught at, I am really surprised that there is not a PD image that was frequently used. The article lacks images of JT during his career, I would have thought the group settlement photo would have added something to the article. JarrahTree 08:01, 21 April 2024 (UTC)
- @JarrahTree: Thank you for letting us know. @Steelkamp: Through a search at the WA state library website, I was able to find this image from when Tonkin was a teacher that can be licensed under Commons:Template:PD-Australia. There are a couple of other items that could be of use that the library is yet to have digitalized. GMH Melbourne (talk) 02:36, 22 April 2024 (UTC)
- I've added a cropped version of that photo. Steelkamp (talk) 09:43, 22 April 2024 (UTC)
