Holy Trinity Church, Roebourne, in 2009

Hook is interesting and sourced properly in the article, QPQ has been completed properly, article meets the required size, though I have my doubts about the reliability of Monument Australia with its few members of staff and the Copyvio score is too high at 68.1% for ref 2 so fix this by reducing the amount of direct quoting. K. Peake 09:23, 29 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Kyle Peake: Thanks for the comments. I found another source, reworded some of the existing content, and added quite a bit more content. The copyvio score is now zero. Bahnfrend (talk) 14:06, 29 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The copyvio score is definitely up to scratch now and good thing you found an alternate source, but it has not been used as a replacement here yet. K. Peake 08:26, 30 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Kyle Peake: The "alternate source" is for the article as a whole, and is now footnote 1. I'm not sure what you mean by "replacement". Monument Australia was only ever a supplement to another source, which is also already cited. The hook is sourced to two sources, neither of them Monument Australia: Anglican Diocese of North West Australia: "Holy Trinity Roebourne is ... the oldest church in North West Australia.", Government of Western Australia: "... the oldest church in the Pilbara district ..."

@Bahnfrend: No, my problem is that an article itself is supposed to be covered by reliable sources to pass DYK. K. Peake 10:17, 30 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Kyle Peake: I'm sorry, but I don't understand your explanation. Which of the points in the article is not supported by a reliable source? Bahnfrend (talk) 13:54, 30 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

What I mean is that only reliable sources should be USED in the article and I have doubts about the reliability of the aforementioned one. K. Peake 20:22, 30 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Kyle Peake: I don't share your doubts. Monuments Australia is a long established website. Its content is not user-generated; it is edited by two people with appropriate qualifications and/or experience, and relies upon a large number of other reliable sources. It also has many contributors, including 17 "Volunteer Research Officers" from all States and the ACT who for the most part similarly have appropriate qualifications and/or experience. If you use the expressions "monuments australia" and "monumentaustralia.org.au" to search Wikipedia, you will see that the Monuments Australia website is cited as a source for more than 200 other Wikipedia articles on a wide variety of topics. That is a good indication that Wikipedia editors other than myself similarly consider it to be a reliable source. Bahnfrend (talk) 05:16, 31 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, I did not know about this reasoning behind the source being reliable since initially, I thought it was lacking after seeing not many staff members on the site. You are entirely correct though, but should have mentioned this initially because I did say I had my doubts, not there is no way this is reliable. This should be good to go now, nice job and I see no remaining issues! K. Peake 07:53, 31 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
