'''Outcome:''' 3 weeks now, given that all issues have been fixed, per the notice on the top of this page, I'm going to upgrade this so this doesn't get lost in the pile for another few years to come.

:Reverting, and never try to pull a fast one like this again. You don't get to unilaterally determine that your own nomination is successful, and trying to do that while I'm away is pretty outrageous. [[User:Ikan Kekek|Ikan Kekek]] ([[User talk:Ikan Kekek|talk]]) 05:12, 24 August 2022 (UTC)

Star nomination

Time for another Childs-like star nomination. It's essentially complete, has a static map and has everything needed for a star article. It doesn't have an understand section, but city-districts don't usually have understand sections but I'm willing to add one if deemed necessary. --SHB2000 (talk | contribs | meta.wikimedia) 11:34, 31 July 2022 (UTC)Reply

  • Support - my kind of article; short and sweet, and focusing on a small town. I don't think it needs an 'Understand', unless there's some interesting history that couldn't fit elsewhere.
Small niggles can be dealt with in the coming days: I'm not in love with the end of the lede, which repeats the word "hidden" quite a lot, but I can't at the moment think of better wording. The 1882 eat listing will need to be updated after Wednesday 3rd August, because they're renovating, getting a new menu, and changing opening hours.--ThunderingTyphoons!

Darn what a coincidence! I really should've checked what was going on with 1882 Hall when I was there last month. It really does bother me given I was at Kynefin Cafe for my afternoon snack after descending down from One Tree Hill which was just a few steps away from the town's only restaurant :-(. I'll try and do a quick checkup (and may stop there for dinner) when I do my annual summit walk up Mount Kosciuszko this November. But anyway, thanks for the copyedits. Really appreciated. :-) SHB2000 (talk | contribs | meta.wikimedia) 06:17, 1 August 2022 (UTC)Reply
Another small thing: is Hall a village or a town? I don't consider those interchangeable, though maybe they are in the context of Australia.--ThunderingTyphoons! (talk) 10:51, 1 August 2022 (UTC)Reply
In Australia (at least, this is true in all the states) the definitions are quite simple. Any settlement with over 200 inhabitants is (officially) considered a town, and anything over 10,000 is a city. Settlements with fewer than 200 inhabitants is up to interpretation; most Australians would call it a township, some might still call it a town, others would call it a settlement. "Village" is not usually used in Australian English, but Uriarra Village also in the ACT has earned the title of "community village" (no other settlement in Aus has this title), and the ACT government does (overly) promote Hall as a village. This sign in Hall claims that Hall is a heritage village, but the encyclopedia claims it's a township. Per official definitions, Hall, with a population of 271, would technically be considered a town, so I'm really undecided now, though I slightly favour following the encyclopedia and using "township".

They probably can be used interchangeably here, then.--ThunderingTyphoons! (talk) 11:51, 1 August 2022 (UTC)Reply
August 3 now, and it seems their new menu is out. However, there doesn't seem to be any major changes that would require a significant change to the description. SHB2000 (talk | contribs | meta.wikimedia) 09:42, 3 August 2022 (UTC)Reply

Outcome: 3 weeks now, given that all issues have been fixed, per the notice on the top of this page, I'm going to upgrade this so this doesn't get lost in the pile for another few years to come. So essentially promoted. --SHB2000 (talk | contribs | meta) 10:34, 23 August 2022 (UTC)Reply

Reverting, and never try to pull a fast one like this again. You don't get to unilaterally determine that your own nomination is successful, and trying to do that while I'm away is pretty outrageous. Ikan Kekek (talk) 05:12, 24 August 2022 (UTC)Reply
