Sprucing up the article

I noticed that there is very little information on the recreational activities available at Fraser's. I've created a bare bones summary, but perhaps those who have had more information about any activities there can contribute? --K-Rio 11:27, 23 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I've also noticed that the intro page, particularly the history of Fraser's Hill does not cite any references. --K-Rio (talk) 06:02, 15 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I've done an almost complete rewrite today, adding most of the citations. I've blanked the assessments (formerly Start-class), inviting others to re-assess the article. - Fayenatic (talk) 21:58, 12 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment This page did not pass GA Review. The Review was a one line review done by an abuse sock account. The account was blocked, the review was blanked. So it has not risen to GA Status at this point in time, and until I complete the review, the DYK? nomination ought be put on hold. Thank you. --Whiteguru (talk) 05:51, 29 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, let me know. Thanks Johnbod (talk) 05:55, 29 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Noting that this article has been passed. All's well that ends well. CMD (talk) 09:31, 2 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
