Why was the John Anderson quote removed? All the former deputy PM said was that people are trying to give Eureka a "credibility and a standing which it probably doesn't enjoy", which it probaly doesn't.
You'd have to be a real afficinado to have noticed "Eureka Day" go by this 3 December... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 121.216.105.54 ( talk) 05:56, 17 December 2012 (UTC)
The last couple of paragraphs of the "2000s" section read like a media release from some mediocre government department or politician's office. (Let's pay lip service to democratic rebellion to pretend our current political system is genuinely democratic, as in aren't those fluffy wuffy lambs cute before we kill them to make chops and roasts.) Apart from that, it's a pretty shallow article overall. I'm very surprised to see the state it's in, considering it's one of THE most important events in Australian political history. I'm not an expert, so am hesitant to touch the article, but even to me, the problems are readily apparent.-- Russell E ( talk)
There seems to be a lot of vandalism. Uberaccount ( talk) 01:28, 8 March 2013 (UTC)
I have supplied a verifiable reference that an eyewtiness to the events of 1854 said the crude battlement known as the Eureka Stockade was "higgledy piggledy". I wouldn't have thought there would be any way you could say that was done in bad faith. Peter Lalor even said it wasn't meant to be much, just a ring to drill the men inside of.

Did you here the one about the Scot, the Yank, the Jamaican, the Italian, the Dutchman, the Sydneysider & some Irishmen? Much ado about Victoria, of little relevance to the other Colonies. Bunch of greedy foreigners: same thing as in Young in 1861. AptitudeDesign ( talk) 11:38, 25 February 2014 (UTC)
The reference to "a swift and deadly siege by colonial forces" is POV, and incorrect. There was no siege, and the death toll reflected the fact that there was a rebellion; the government cannot be held entirely accountable for this. Royalcourtier ( talk) 04:17, 23 January 2015 (UTC)
The article states that "Mass public support for the captured rebels in the colony's capital of Melbourne ...resulted in the introduction of the Electoral Act 1856". However there was no direct connection between public support for rebelling (mostly foreign) miner's and a new Electoral Act. Royalcourtier ( talk) 04:20, 23 January 2015 (UTC)

What do we all think about the concept of an article dedicated to the Battle of the Eureka Stockade proper separate from this article on the wider Eureka Rebellion?

If those of us who care about this article can hook in and help clear the last few citation-needed tags then we will surely be in sight of our long-held goal of having it considered for good article status.

Both spellings were present in this article, but I have standardized on "Bentley", by far the more common elsewhere. Doug butler ( talk) 23:52, 18 October 2022 (UTC)
How about we take the sections on the "Battle of the Eureka Stockade", "Popular culture" and "Commemoration" and make sub articles out of them?

@ Robbiegibbons, @ Aintabli: I suggest you start up on this review again. The 🏎 Corvette 🏍 ZR1 (The Garage) 23:05, 29 November 2023 (UTC)
This review clearly just scratches the surface, but there are still some unfulfilled points, such as the unreferenced bits and the abundance of quotes. The first one hasn't yet been addressed, with the latter not fully tackled. Peacemaker67's review of a related article nominated by Robbiegibbons includes comments for images reused in this article, which weren't also addressed. All of these are about 2 months old. Peacemaker67's review of Battle of the Eureka Stockade (linked above) further lists several issues with regards to the sources, which were also reused in this article. Although I did not highlight them here, they were visible in the aforementioned review but not dealt with for 2–3 months.
It appears that I and Robbiegibbons chose to be inactive at the wrong time. I took this article during the backlog drive but could not give my attention due to unexpected circumstances back in August. Although not a full-on review, I (along with Peacemaker67) left some comments in October. Conversely, Robbiegibbons has not been (fully) active from September onwards. Looking at their long-term editing pattern, I hope that they will start being active later this month. I will continue to be lenient given my earlier inactivity and wait until January 8 next year for Robbiegibbons to return. I plan to continue holding back on the review in case I will have to fail the nomination then. Aintabli ( talk) 05:00, 11 December 2023 (UTC)
