I'll take a look. I will make straightforward changes as I go and jot queries below. Please revert if I accidentally change the meaning. Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 20:24, 8 August 2019 (UTC)

• It'd be nice to expand the The first inhabitants section a little - you mention "evidence", that would be good to expand on.

• When you first mention someone, use their full name (then surname for subsequent mentions). Also some descriptors at first mention "explorer", "pastoralist" etc.

• Align all references - ensure author names are all "Smith, John" not a mixture of that and "John Smith", "Smith J" (without comma and stop etc.)

• The last paragraph of Early settlement needs a citation - seems a bit oversimplified as well. More info on the disappearance of local people would be good.

• Is the last para of Self-government needed or too much detail?

• The Geography needs a few citations. also maybe mention somewhere that Queanbeyan is sort of part of Canberra 'sphere' but outside ACT?

• Notable geological formations in the Australian Capital Territory include the Canberra Formation, the Pittman Formation, Black Mountain Sandstone and State Circle Shale. - formations are not italicised

Pass or Fail: - article in fair shape. Above issues coam about on first read. There might be others but nothing gross jumps out (referencing not checked at this point).
