Starting review. Comments will come below. Z1720 (talk) 14:43, 8 March 2024 (UTC)

GA review (see here for what the criteria are, and here for what they are not)

1. It is reasonably well written.

   a (prose, spelling, and grammar): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):

2. It is factually accurate and verifiable.

   a (reference section): b (inline citations to reliable sources): c (OR): d (copyvio and plagiarism):

3. It is broad in its coverage.

   a (major aspects): b (focused):

4. It follows the neutral point of view policy.

   Fair representation without bias:

5. It is stable.

   No edit wars, etc.:

6. It is illustrated by images and other media, where possible and appropriate.

   a (images are tagged and non-free content have non-free use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):

7. Overall:

   Pass/Fail:

Comments below:

• The lede is quite short. Is there anything to add to this section?
• I'm surprised there is no information on the aftermath of this event. Is there any information on that? How did procedures change after this event?
• "about 58 km to the east of Adaminaby." Suggest using the convert template on this to give imperial.
• Suggest merging the three headings in the "Victims" section to prevent one-paragraph sections, per MOS:OVERSECTION.

• Information on the foundation created in McBeth's memory should be included.

Image review:

• Suggest adding ALT text per MOS:ALT
• Image licences are fine.

Source review:

• Sources look fine.
• Source check not completed yet.
• Earwig not checked yet.

I'll place this on hold. Please ping when the above are addressed. Z1720 (talk) 15:46, 8 March 2024 (UTC)

@Z1720: Thank you so much for your review and sorry for the delay in replying.

I have tried to add to the lede but unfortunately I couldn't find much to add to it. I have looked at other aviation accident FAs and found that an extra paragraph is usually added to the lede when there is more circumstance to the accident (ie. a search, hijacking, etc.). Is there anything else you recommend I add?

I will added an aftermath section momentarily.

@Z1720: I have added a section on the aftermath under the investigation section called 'Findings and recommendations'. GMH Melbourne (talk) 02:45, 12 March 2024 (UTC)

@GMH Melbourne: These recommendations are good, but what happened after? Were any of these recommendations put in place, and if so how? The article should describe how this crash changed (or did not change) aviation policy or procedures. There can also be information about its legacy by mentioning the charity set up in one of the victim's memory. Z1720 (talk) 14:36, 12 March 2024 (UTC)

@Z1720: I have added the aftermath section detailing what has been done since the accident, what policies have changed as a result, and also info about the foundation. Also note I have added a couple of images (all available under Creative Commons + I also added ALTs to them). GMH Melbourne (talk) 01:56, 13 March 2024 (UTC)

After fixing some concerns myself, I can say that this article passes this GAN. Great work. Z1720 (talk) 22:57, 13 March 2024 (UTC)
