Assessment comments

- Graeme Richardson (b. Sydney, 27 September 1949) a former Labor politician (who actually spells his name Graham)
What does that mean, exactly? Does it just mean that his name is Graham Richardson and the article is mistitled, or does it mean that his name is Graeme Richardson but he prefers to spell it differently? Or what? --Paul A 04:36, 1 Feb 2005 (UTC)
- Hello,
- Yes it means his name is Graham and the article is mistitled. I put the comment in because I don't know how to correct an error in a title, if you know please correct it. It may be more tricky than you expect, because there are links already set up pointing to Graeme.
- Regards
- Ruszewski
Okay, done. (The procedure for renaming an article is described at Wikipedia:How to rename (move) a page.) Having links already pointing to the old spelling is not a significant complication; it just means having to edit the relevant articles to update the links. (Anyway, it was only four links this time. I've seen far worse.) --Paul A 04:58, 7 Feb 2005 (UTC)
There is an actual person completely unrelated to politics, who is called Graeme Richardson. Would anyone object if I used this page to describe him as part of a series of pages I am working on, and left a link at the top for disambiguation? Phil webster 19:51, 27 May 2005 (UTC)
- This page really would benefit from a picture! Help, anyone ROxBo 00:05, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Sources for scandals
The scandals section of this page concerns me a little. Some of the statements in this section are unsourced (eg the Love Boat), and some have very poor sources (eg. the Socialist Worker newspaper is not a reliable source for something of this nature). I haven't edited the article because Richardson's name has indeed been mentioned ina ssociation with all these issues, but a lot more work needs to be done to properly provide the evidnece to back the claims.
In the absence of this work, the article is sailing pretty close to being both defamatory and an attack page. Jeendan 20:01, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Offset Alpine connection
Richardson's involvement in the Offset Alpine printing factory, which later burned down, is worth mentioning. His links to Rene Rivkin. It can all be sourced and worded carefully. I will add it some time in the future when I get time.Lester 23:35, 15 December 2007 (UTC)
