A bus shelter in 2009

• ... that concrete bus shelters in Canberra, Australia, now considered an icon of the city, were initially labelled as "lunatic" by a reporter for The Canberra Times? (Source: ACT Archives)

Improved to Good Article status by Nick-D (talk). Nominated by AllegedlyHuman (talk) at 01:13, 22 March 2021 (UTC).

Overall: Recently promoted GA. Length, overall article sourcing, and neutrality are assumed to have been covered during GAN. Hook is properly cited and interesting enough. Picture is properly licensed. QPQ is not needed as nominator is under 5 credits. I looked into whether the reporter in question was actually a reporter vs. a columnist, but it appears she was a reporter, so the word choice is appropriate.

My only suggestion would be to change "Canberra" to "Canberra, Australia", as it's not so prominent a city that we can assume readers will know the country. I see the article itself doesn't include the country in the lead, though, so just let me know the rationale if it was a considered deliberate decision. {{u|Sdkb}} ^talk 02:24, 22 March 2021 (UTC)

 Done I've added Australia to the blurb. I did not earlier as the page title had not, as you said, though I'm generally indifferent on it. It's usually better to err on the side of more information. All seems to be in order, but let me know still if there's anything else. Thanks. AllegedlyHuman (talk) 04:42, 22 March 2021 (UTC)
