[edit] Tony Abbott

Please review Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons in relation to Tony Abbott edits--Matilda formerly known as Golden Wattle talk 00:47, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

Significant difference between somebody who was found not guilty in a criminal trial (beyond reasonable doubt plays a role here) but found guilty in a civil trial - see O. J. Simpson#Murder case and moreover has not sued successfully for defamation to suppress the allegations. Simpson was not found innocent. Abbott did sue successfully for defamation and the allegations were found to be untrue. We should not repeat the allegatuions as they thus do indeed breach our policy on living persons - specifically:

  • Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a tabloid; it is not our job to be sensationalist, or to be the primary vehicle for the spread of titillating claims about people's lives. Biographies of living persons (BLP) must be written conservatively, with regard for the subject's privacy.
  • Editors should remove any contentious material about living persons that is unsourced

Not only is the material unsourced, it was found by the courts to be untrue. If you want to write about the court case do so in a manner that does not reproduce untrue statements or even hint at them. --Matilda talk 23:49, 5 December 2007 (UTC)
