Policy compliance:

Hook eligibility:

  • Cited: Yes
  • Interesting: Yes
  • Other problems: Yes
QPQ: None required.

Overall: The article meets the WP:DYKCRIT, and has recently been promoted to GA-class. All the hooks are interesting, I personally think that ALT2 is the most interesting. If you are also happy with ALT2, I am happy to approve the hook. ––– GMH Melbourne (talk) 08:50, 8 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Also, in relation to ALT0, for flow, the word while at the start should be removed, the word Prime Minister should be lowercase per WP:JOBTITLE and should also link to Prime Minister of Australia instead of Kevin Rudd to avoid an WP:EASTEREGG, however this doesn't need to be rectified if ALT2 is used. ––– GMH Melbourne (talk) 09:04, 8 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • I’m happy with ALT2 :) thank you for your comments. GraziePrego (talk) 10:24, 8 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Done, ALT2 it is! ––– GMH Melbourne (talk) 13:50, 8 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]


Is it appropriate to list the Prime Ministers the speaker has served under?[edit]

I recognise that the Speaker is meant to discipline all MPs so it doesn't really matter who the Prime Minister is but the Speaker sometimes changes with a new parliamentary term and a new Prime Minister. This precedent is not present on other Speaker Wikipedia pages so I'm not sure whether to update most of them with this detail or remove it entirely from this and any other pages. If I get the approval for adding the Prime Ministers similar to this page should I update the infobox on most former and future speakers with that parliamentary term's Prime Minister(s)?

I don't think the Prime Minister should be included in the Speaker infobox. As you say, the Speaker is technically a quasi-independent role, elected by the House; not appointed or selected by, or subservient to the prime minister of the day. --Canley (talk) 01:43, 16 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Removed text[edit]

I've removed the following text from the article. I've left it here in case its removal breaks any named references, and for the benefit of future editors. See the article's history for full attribution.

This text box doesn't seem directly relevant to the section where it was paced but it might be useful elsewhere. Also, per WP:MOS, we shouldn't use pullquotes in articles.

I nominate the member for Chisholm today because the member for Chisholm is, quite correctly, a member of the government and should take the chair as Speaker ... The member for Chisholm is a member of integrity and honesty who would fill the role of Speaker with absolute aplomb.
