Talk:Fiona Phillips (politician)

Balance banner
I inserted it because of edit-warring by a new editor who appears to have only one target, with a partisan intention. The second paragraph still contains inaccuracies (the Indigenous group referred to is incorrect), and has made a stub article severely unbalanced. It is partly irrelevant in referring to the actions of another politician—possibely in an attempt to smear Ms Phillips. Tony (talk)  01:19, 19 June 2019 (UTC)
 * I agree, so I removed the material. The Mundine stuff could be mentioned if contextualised properly. The Watson stuff is clearly POV. Frickeg (talk) 07:51, 21 June 2019 (UTC)
 * The material has been re-added. Does this count as edit-warring yet? I would say that the material about Greg Watson's behaviour in 1982 isn't relevant, and the during election sentence needs the context that Warren Mundine was her opposing candidate.  I propose deleting the Greg Watson sentence, and changing the 2nd sentence to ...

"In the 2019 Gilmore campaign Phillips called her opponent, local Yuin man Warren Mundine a "phony" and then told him to "go back to where you came from"[6]

I propose changing 'Yuin Elder' to 'Yuin man' since I can't find any source with a google search of Warren Mundine "Yuin elder" that names Mundine as an elder. Newystats (talk) 02:36, 24 June 2019 (UTC)
 * I heard a rumour his mob was originally from way inland (can't recall the name); and that Mundine was not being straight about this, to bolster his wobbly claim to be a "local" in Gilmore. Where are the reliable references? If Indigenous issues are to be part of the article, why aren't other issues, to provide balance? Tony (talk)  04:15, 24 June 2019 (UTC)
 * Even properly sourced, it still needs context. This article is far from alone, but it's never a good idea for the entirety of an article to be "here are the basic biographical facts about this person, and here is a single minor controversy they've been involved in, in the same number of words".

 * The paragraph (along with the banner) has again been removed by an anonymous user. Given the discussion above, I'm happy to leave it as it. Newystats (talk) 00:54, 26 June 2019 (UTC)
