BLP
When adding material to WP:BLP - they need to be cited - otherwise they will be (the part that you add) probably deleted. I am not in any way doubting your addition (ie the information needs to be WP:V - but because of strict WP:BLP policies - you need a cite with that - cheers SatuSuro 12:44, 9 June 2010 (UTC)


 * I've re-added the info with a citation to this article in The Age, plus a sentence saying that she later regretted the endorsement. But yes, as SatuSuro said, you must provide a reliable source when adding potentially controversial info to a biography of a living person. If you don't know how to format it, just write the URL and/or the article title somewhere in the text. Graham 87 14:23, 9 June 2010 (UTC)

Oombulgurri
Hi rob, very nice catch at Oombulgurri Community, Western Australia! I've added more info, based on the ABC page that you linked, among others. If you want to know how I formatted the references there, check the code in the edit window. I rewrote the article over five years ago to replace this piece of rubbish, but I obviously haven't been following the news closely enough lately! Graham 87 15:10, 18 April 2011 (UTC)
