I've listed this article for peer review because I'm seeking guidance on improvements which can be made to the article prior to nominating it for WP:GA. Thanks, TarnishedPathtalk 13:41, 6 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Comments after a quick skim:

• I added a citation needed tag to the article.
• The lead should be expanded to include all major aspects of this person's biography.

I hope that helps. Z1720 (talk) 03:36, 1 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Z1720, I've removed the sentence which was unreferenced, as I don't think it added anything, and expanded the lead. How does that look? Any further guidance? TarnishedPathtalk 04:33, 1 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I've add some content on some positions that Jolly has taken as mayor of Yarra council and content on a current romantic relationship. There's still more to add. I'm putting it here in case someone wants to add it before me and so I don't forget about links.
