[edit] Improving this page
A picture of Hinch would be useful and appropriate - perhaps 3AW might grant Wikipedia permission to use one that they own (anyone want to ring them and ask - (03) 9243 2000 ?)
I removed the words "the illness may be terminal", as - quite apart from questions of good taste - there seems no evidence for it.
I'm certainly no fan of Mr. Hinch, but it seems to me that the page as it is now could be accused of having a non-NPOV slant - see WP:NPOV.
As for the "former Australian television sports reporter" - it's of course Rob Astbury, but I can't see what point the (anonymous) person at 203.94.135.59 is trying to make.
Why does the article talk about "a former Australian television sports reporter" instead of naming the individual concerned, especially since everybody knows who it is anyway? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 203.94.135.59 (talk • contribs) .
[edit] Factual errors
During today's Drive Program, Derryn did a segment on Wikipedia, specifically with regard to the recent Essjay fiasco. Derryn said he wasn't concerned with criticism in the article (although from our point-of-view, we shouldn't have any unsourced editorial comment) but he noted that this biography contains some factual errors. So I think we need to go through and carefully look at sourcing each factual claim and removing anything we can't source, per BLP. Sarah 11:05, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Hinchbook.jpg
Image:Hinchbook.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 22:34, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
