 * Regarding the mystery of the image claimed to be on the Rod Liddle article, perhaps this is another case of misunderstanding a Google Knowledge Graph? Those typically get their initial paragraph from Wikipedia [with a link], and so can to be mistaken as simply a Wikipedia article displayed as a search result. (WP:HD often gets complaints about the wrong image for these; the response, inevitable, is to suggest telling Google about Google's error.) -- John Broughton (♫♫) 22:02, 6 June 2015 (UTC)
 * It is - googling "Rod Liddle" does indeed bring up a Knowledge Graph showing Fabricant. Inaccuracies about Wikipedia in The Guardian - who'd have ever predicted that? Yunshui 雲 水 08:55, 8 June 2015 (UTC)


 * Regarding the line "...Goodes, whose mother was of Adnyamathanha and Narungga descent,..." I am pretty sure his mother is still alive, so shouldn't it be "is" instead of "was"? AtHomeIn神戸 (talk) 00:38, 8 June 2015 (UTC)
 * Ooops! Fixed it.  Thank you.  Gamaliel  ( talk ) 00:49, 8 June 2015 (UTC)


 * Not sure that we should bother reporting reports about common mindless vandalism - the offensive edits to Goodes' page were only online for 8 minutes before they were reverted. The-Pope (talk) 13:27, 8 June 2015 (UTC)
 * I've started ignoring the minor cases of vandalism. Sports media in particular seems fond of Wikipedia vandalism stories.  But this one in particular got a lot of media attention, probably because it touched on larger controversial issues, and so it was impossible to ignore.   Gamaliel  ( talk ) 19:39, 8 June 2015 (UTC)
