DYK
You're welcome. No, you don't need to do anything more, the article is already clearly good enough. If it goes through it will be linked from the front page of Wikipedia, and will get about 1000 readers in a day, maybe more. So any improvements you want to make are worth making beforehand. Also, if you have an idea for a better hook (essay), you're welcome to put that forward. --99of9 (talk) 08:17, 31 May 2013 (UTC)
- Great! Re any improvements, will do. Rubicon49bce (talk) 21:44, 2 June 2013 (UTC)
- It will be on the front page from 10am-6pm Sydney time on Thursday (June 6th). Get ready to send your tweets etc at 10am! --99of9 (talk) 10:38, 5 June 2013 (UTC)
- Thanks for the headsup! We'll be ready ... :) Rubicon49bce (talk) 21:58, 5 June 2013 (UTC)

For precise, well-researched and tireless effort in improving Wikipedia's coverage of early Australian history. Euryalus (talk) 00:13, 4 September 2014 (UTC) |
- Just been re-reading Journals of the First Fleet and having a glance at Archie Barwick, and thought I'd say thanks for these and your other work. Early Australian history is shamefully underdone here, and your contributions are much appreciated. Euryalus (talk) 00:13, 4 September 2014 (UTC)
