GA review (see here for what the criteria are, and here for what they are not)
(Criteria marked
are unassessed)
Information relating to the racial composition of the population was collected for the first time at the Census of 1911. The following were classified as "Asiatic":The reference for this in the article is a primary source from 1911.
At censuses prior to 1966 the instructions relating to race were insufficient to enable respondents to classify themselves according to the degree of racial mixture.This is cited to a primary source from 1966/1971. Primary sources are great for statements of fact. Wikipedia policy prohibits using them for analysis on Wikipedia. See: WP:PRIMARY
Chinese immigration to Australia increased significantly during the Victorian gold rush in the 1850s and 1860s. While some Chinese arrived in Australia as early as 1818, Chinese immigration increased dramatically during the gold rush. Conflict arose between Chinese and Australian communities due to prejudice and misunderstanding, leading to riots at Lambing Flat and Buckland. Anti-Chinese laws enacted by Australian colonies were the precursor to the White Australia policy in 1901-1973.No in-line citations for this section of general citations for the article. The next citation does not discuss China
The union movement was critical of Asian workers, especially Chinese workers, who did not join unions and were willing to work for lower wages and conditions.I could plausibly read this sentence in two ways. One is that Asian workers "were willing to work for lower wages" and the other is that Chinese workers "were willing to work for lower wages". I don't really see either reading being supported by the article. The article talks in terms of "exploitation". It also doesn't use the framework of willingness to joine a union. On page 346 it says,
For [the working class], racial exclusion was an extension of exclusionist policies that maintained high wages and favorable working conditions by restricting etnry to the rade or calling.And if it is about the Chinese immigrants in particular, on page 350 it says
Chinese wages were on a par with Europenas'. Early on in the article there are a couple sentences that I think really summarize it's position:
e. Wherever white and nonwhite labor jointly participated in the labor force, they rarely directly competed for the same jobs in the market. Whites usually occupied positions of higher status and skill, with which higher rewards were associated.
There are social and economic disparities among Asian Australians. While Asian Australians are over-represented in high-performing schools and university courses, some ethnic groups face challenges. The Daily Telegraph can't be used as a secondary source on Wikipedia. (Citing the quote in the other Telegraph reference should be fine.) I would recommend clipping the Telegraph reference. The other three sources appear high quality.
The production on the series began in November 2009 in her home town of Adelaide.The source is from prior to November 2009, so it can't verify something in the future. Some things near production and fall apart.
The series was aired from 10 February 2010.This sentence construction is bizarre. Maybe began airing, started airing, or aired from x to y? Also does the source give the date? I didn't see it, but the source is from 11 February so I'm thinking there must be something like "last night" or "yesterday" that I overlooked.
Due to issues in the sources that I checked, I can't pass this. Let me know if you have any questions or want me to look over anything in particular. You are welcome to renominate the article at any time. I hope these comments will aid you in your future editing. Regards, Rjjiii ( talk) 07:20, 28 June 2023 (UTC)
