So far as I can see the article now (after a few weeks of copy-edits, corrections etc, since nomination) meets all of the good article criteria. The only outstanding issue that I can see is the capitalisation of "main cell block", currently under discussion at Talk:History of Fremantle Prison#Main Cell Block (because that discussion pre-dated Talk:Fremantle Prison#capitalisation of "main cell block"), but:

• as Evad37 pointed out, this doesn't affect the lead section, so ought not affect GA status
• article stability is not affected - there is no edit-warring, the matter is being discussed

However - without detracting in any way from all the work that Evad37 has put into the article - while reviewing the article, I've now made quite a few edits and suggestions myself (see the article's history and talk page) , so I think I'm probably no longer an "uninvolved editor" for the purposes of GA review.

I have changed the GAN status to "2ndopinion" so we can get an uninvolved editor's opinion - Evad37 [talk] 16:10, 18 December 2014 (UTC)

Second opinion

After the problems mentioned in my notes below about Layout and Administration have been corrected, this article should be promoted to GA status. The issue about whether Main Cell Block is a proper noun is not significant enough to hold up the promotion; it should be addressed as a subject for continuing improvements after GA approval. I also recommend revising sentence structures so there aren't as many boring, consecutive sentences starting with "The", but this would be for continuing improvement. My opinion--repair the problems noted below in the Layout and Administration sections, then promote to GA. Folklore1 (talk) 17:52, 8 January 2015 (UTC)

@Folklore1: I've edited per your notes below. Let me know if you think further clarification is needed, or if you have any other suggestions for improvement beyond the GA requirements. Thanks, - Evad37 [talk] 08:43, 10 January 2015 (UTC)

The last corrections are done, so I'm promoting the article to GA. Folklore1 (talk) 18:15, 16 January 2015 (UTC)

Layout

The sentence containing "North of the main block is the New Division cells" has a conflict with singular v plural. It could be corrected by replacing "is" with "are" or changing "New Division cells" to "New Division". Folklore1 (talk) 14:42, 8 January 2015 (UTC)

Administration

In the first paragraph of this section, see the sentence containing "but and the system returned". The "but" or "and" should obviously be removed, but more revision to the sentence will be necessary to clarify what it's trying to tell us. Folklore1 (talk) 15:49, 8 January 2015 (UTC)
