Talk:Environmental threats to the Great Barrier Reef

message: This article has been placed on hold for the following reasons.
*According to Wikipedia:Manual of Style (numbers), there should be a non-breaking space -   between a number and the unit of measurement. For example, instead of 220 metres, use 220 metres, which when you are editing the page, should look like: 220 metres.[?]
*According to Wikipedia:Context and Wikipedia:Build the web, years with full dates should be linked; for example, link January 15, 2006.[?]
*Please make the spelling of English words consistent with either American or British spelling, depending upon the subject of the article. Examples include: metre (B) (American: meter), ization (A) (British: isation), cosy (B) (American: cozy), program  (A) (British: programme).
*According to WP:MSH section headings should not repeat the title.
When these problems are addressed feel free to contact me. Tarret 01:23, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I was unaware that an article could be placed on GA hold solely due to automated peer review.  Nevertheless, I'm grateful for the prompt review.  I believe I've put in all the non-breaking spaces that are required.  I'm not sure that there are any suitable (full) dates to be linked.  I've removed the Environmental threats section heading, and I submit that this article is written in Australian English, which is somewhat of a hybrid between British and American English in places. (although spelling of the non-abbreviated IMO has been retained as being the spelling of the original.)-Malkinann 06:09, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: While these aren't serious MOS violations this article still has potential, and while the suggestions were bot-generated they still helped to improve the article which is the purpose of the GA process. Tarret 21:14, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Ga passed

message: The article briefly mentions oil drilling on the Great Barrier Reef: "It was suspected that the Great Barrier Reef is the cap to an oil trap. In the 1960s and early 1970s, there was some speculation about drilling for oil and gas there."
There was a lot more than speculation; there were four wells drilled.  In 1959 a Canadian company called Humber Barrier Reef Oils Pty Ltd drilled an exploratory well on Wreck Island in the Capricorn Group.  Then between 1967 and 1969 three wells were drilled from offshore platforms.  The first of these was the E.W.Thornton, working for the American company Gulf Oil, which drilled the Capricorn 1 well at Swain Reefs in the summer of 1967-68 in a permit area held by the Australian Oil and Gas Corporation Ltd.  In the following months the same rig drilled another well twenty kilometres east; it was called Aquarius 1, perhaps an unlikely attempt to invoke a politically liberal image.  Early in 1969 the Glomar Conception drilled a well at Anchor Cay in Torres Strait for an American consortium headed by Tenneco Australia Inc and Signal Pacific Coy.  None of these wells found any trace of oil or gas.  And oddly, none seems to have attracted much attention at the time, although they were all public knowledge.
