... that Annie Wyatt, the driving force behind Australia's National Trust was also a prison visitor to some of Sydney's most notorious women criminals?

There doesn't appear to be any sources supporting the claim in your hook in regards to being a prison visitor to Tilly Devine. The only thing is a parenthetical note in the "See also" section, but this can't be accepted until your hook is directly stated in the text and cited by a reliable source.

Done I've put in a new section on Prisoners aid. --99of9 (talk) 01:18, 21 August 2012 (UTC)

The section describing the actions of The National Trust (e.g. forming an 'A' and 'B' list), Wyatt's quote "that the last lovely Macquarie era buildings were in dire peril..." and other information under Annie Forsyth Wyatt#The National Trust cannot be found in the accompanying source in the paragraph. The last paragraph is also unsourced and contains original researchy-type statements like "Buildings on the list would be protected for future generations to "learn from the past" or unnecessarily uses a narrative voice with flowery language to describe the subject, such as in "The National Trust Provisional Committee began to fulfill Annie's dream of saving Sydney's historic sites." Annie Wyatt's resolve to conserve and protect Australian heritage places through the work of a national trust had come to fruition." You might want to consider rewriting these sections to only contain verifiable information. I think the article is in good shape, otherwise, and should be considered for DYK.

Done I have removed one of the fluffy sentences and added another reference to DoS for the last paragraph where the 'A' list is mentioned. Hope that's right. I have also added a "cited in Dictionary of Sydney" tag to the relevant refs in this article since this is appropriate where the original has not been seen by the WP editor.

Alrighty, all set from my perspective. I, Jethrobot ^{drop me a line} (note: not a bot!) 04:21, 25 August 2012 (UTC)
