Talk:Canberra

FAR Discussion

Came across this noticed some issues I wanted to bring up that concern me regarding the article's featured status:

• The lead appears to be too long, and utilizes in-line citations for non-controversial statements that are already cited in the article
• There are numerous statements throughout the article lacking inline citations (e.g. Canberra is often affected by foehn winds, especially in winter and spring, evident by its anomalously warm maxima relative to altitude. and At the 2019 election, the third seat has been reintroduced as the Division of Bean. among many others)
• There are areas that are likely very out of date (crime stats in "Judiciary and policing" and unemployment in the "Economy" section, internet access at home, etc)
• From a style and layout perspective, the article suffers from extremely short paragraphs, often one or two sentences long, that should be better grouped into more appropriately sized paragraphs)

Hoping any interested editors can work on addressing there issues and bringing this article back to FA level quality. « Gonzo fan2007 (talk) @ 16:39, 15 December 2025 (UTC)

I often think maintaining FA or GA status is more trouble than it is worth, but I'll look at these things.--Grahame (talk) 03:17, 16 December 2025 (UTC)

Info box map

Not sure if this is solely a problem on my end or what, but the OpenStreetMap in the info box is showing some random location in the ocean southwest of Nigeria. Chayse571 (talk) 14:12, 27 February 2026 (UTC)

It was showing null island it seems. @Hike395 @Zackmann08 any idea why this broke here? It's explicitly specified with {{coord}} and GeoHack still works. --Joy (talk) 14:18, 8 March 2026 (UTC)

Dear Sir/Madam,

The dash styling of 2018–19 and 2019–20 on the Canberra Wikipedia article page should be corrected in line of Wikipedia manual of style MOS:DASH. It is located in the sentence page of

• The city's main industry is public administration and safety, which accounted for 27.1% of Gross Territory Product in 2018-19 and employed 32.49% of Canberra's workforce.
• The city also has a successful basketball team, the Canberra Capitals, which has won nine national women's basketball titles, most recently in 2019-20.

Here is the link to the article below.
