[edit] External Links

In accordance with Longhairs comments that links on the Schapelle Corby wiki were unecyclopedic I have removed the external links from this wiki too.Bluetongue 23:35, 14 October 2006 (UTC)

Thanks. Saves me doing it myself ;) -- Longhair\^talk 09:54, 20 October 2006 (UTC)

Where would the world be without you!?!??! Bluetongue 21:55, 2 November 2006 (UTC)

I don't know. You're slipping on the assumption of good faith once again. Perhaps a read over What Wikipedia is not and External links will help settle your obvious frustrations with my edits. The community as a whole creates the policies in force here; I only enforce them. -- Longhair\^talk 22:41, 2 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] GA note

I won't review the GA nomination now, but the article appears to be incomplete in that it does not clearly state what happened to the Bali Nine at the end of the appeals process. Are they serving their sentences? Where? When can they expect parole, if any? Sandstein 06:53, 4 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Successful good article nomination

I am glad to report that this article nomination for good article status has been promoted. This is how the article, as of October 21, 2007, compares against the six good article criteria:

1. Well written?: Most of the article is well written in clear language. However, for readability sake and per WP:LEAD, please merge shorter paragraphs together, lead should be no more than 4. Also, please try to merge shorter paragraphs (less than three sentences) together in the other sections of the article. The Criminal History section is out of chronological order, and should be moved up further in the article.

2. Factually accurate?: Article is referenced to (50) good sources, looks like most used WP:CIT. Sections Pre-arrest history and Pre-trial investigation, however, are missing some cites at end of paragraphs for verification, so please add these before your next step in quality review, which should not be WP:FAC, but another WP:PR, in my opinion.

3. Broad in coverage?: Article is thorough, covering many aspects of the proceedings. However, per Sandstein (talk · contribs)'s comment, please expand the Appeals section with more detail, as well as more sources, in order to improve the quality of the article.

4. Neutral point of view?: Article does seem to be phrased in neutral language, simply stating the events as they occurred.

5. Article stability? Minor anon edit concerns, but looking back several months these are usually addressed quickly. I also saw some nice civility in talk page discussion. No issues here.

6. Images?: 4 images used in the article. All have fair use rationales. Please add subsection headings to the image pages: "Licensing" above the license tags, and "Fair use rationale" for the rationales.

If you feel that this review is in error, feel free to take it to Good article reassessment. Thank you to all of the editors who worked hard to bring it to this status, and congratulations. — Curt Wilhelm VonSavage 10:20, 28 October 2007 (UTC)

This brilliant page wouldn't be possible without the AFP tipping off Indonesian authorities and basically ending 9 young Australian lives.. bravo! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 211.28.124.246 (talk) 16:20, 30 October 2007 (UTC)

Look on the bright side...at least you and other taxpayers wont be footing the bill for their luxury accomodation in Aussie jails! WikiphyteMk1 (talk) 11:21, 11 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Related arrests

This section requires an update. The arrests took place in early 2006 so it's possible information is available on the outcome of the matters. -- Longhair\^talk 23:08, 19 December 2007 (UTC)
