When leaving a message on any talkpage, click on "New section at the top, and fill in the box for the subject. I've done it on my talkpage, here. There are two types of links: click edit to see the raw markup of them here. You might want to put a few words on your userpage (tab at top-left) so it doesn't display a red link wherever you go. You need to type four tildes ( ~ ) after each talkpage post. Tony (talk)  03:13, 19 June 2019 (UTC).

The problem with the Phillips article is that it's just a "stub". Adding the info about Watson's burning of an Indigenous flag is now given way too much weight in the article; and worse, it's not even about what Phillips herself did, but could be taken as a smear by some kind of (unproved) association; Wikipedia's rules insist on avoiding that. Keep to the facts, keep to the topic, even if you've found references, and avoid undue balance given the size of an article. You might like to expand the text so it's about 3/4 of a page long; then a reference to Watson might be OK, if there's a reasonable context for it ... what was Phillips's role in that? Or is she guilty just by association? Can you fix, please?

AND: percentage point ... often usage is wrong, but here we aim to be right.

I still don't understand your "despite". And it would be easier for readers to express it as a two-party swing toward her. The reader knows already that she won. Tony (talk)  03:13, 19 June 2019 (UTC)
