message: This section is now getting out of control.  The controversial antics are being increased regularly and are not really that notable.  I would like to see this restrained to only include items which reach wider media attention such as the black face incident or the Shane Crawford dacking.

thread_title: Media career=

message: first of all, sam newman is a widely known and talked about australian media celebrity. if anything, his media 'stunts' are lacking. i can think of no other retired AFL footballer who garners so much attention for his exploits. 
just recently he had botox performed by a doctor on himself on the AFL Footy Show, surely this is wiki-worthy.
anyway, i'm not sure about the list of women he has supposedly been involved with. i mean, imogen bailey, paris hilton, give me a break. i cant be bothered, and which in itself is naughty, to check the links, but i will go off on a limb to say that it is illegitimate speculation.
Sam's footy career, for a life member of the GFC, is lacking. 
Other than that, general grammatical errors and not-so-perfect wordings are all that is lacking.

thread_title:  general points 

message: on wiki, this is the crappiest I have read yet. If wiki wants to be taken seriously, there has to be more effort put into articles than this. Please try a bit harder, the credibility of this enterprise is on the line. Newman played 300 games of football and has had a media career for over 25 years, and surely has a family life, has given interviews etc. Do some research!!

thread_title:  of all the crappy biographies.... 

message: :Image:Newman Age.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 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 lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:Newman Age.jpg

message: I propose to move the 'controversy' section of this biography into its own article. It's a bit unwieldy to have it in a biography. Plus, if anyone thinks it's non-notable they can AfD it. 
I'm pretty sure the text about Sam Newman controversies is notable, since it has repeatedly been front-page news. - Richard Cavell (talk) 00:04, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I also disagreed, and have moved the small amount of material back into this page (while redirecting the other one here) Jwoodger (talk) 00:48, 17 August 2009 (UTC)

message: I have undone revision 311649881 by 123.2.150.249, which appears to be subtle vandalism.  (See their other edits, which are less subtle.)  But someone may wish to check whether 1975 is the correct year for Mr. Newman's "Best and Fairest" (whatever that is).  Open4D (talk) 18:46, 21 February 2010 (UTC)

What a joke how seriously he takes himself as a driver. Most P platers could throw a car around a track better than him!  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 118.210.107.47 (talk) 04:14, 3 February 2012 (UTC)

message: Why "Sam"?  
NB. I found it on Google; but why isn’t it here?  (Some character on the Jackie Gleeson Show, that he liked to impersonate, at school.) Not in History, either.

message: The correct spelling is "Geordan" - verified with the family.
:For anyone confused, the above is a comment about the name of one of Sam's children, which I have removed anyway in accordance with our policy that we don't publish the names of non-notable children. HiLo48 (talk) 03:34, 22 June 2019 (UTC)
thread_title: correction

message: I have restored the names of the children. There are various claimants to a relationship with Sam Newman who, in Australia, is a famous personality. Correct information is important for the media and the general public and should be correct in Wikipedia.
The Image I put in is from Wikimedia Commons so I have removed that notice.Gladiator-Citizen (talk) 06:19, 29 June 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: Please see WP:BLPNAME for the reason why the children's names should not be there. And note that new entries on Talk pages go at the bottom of the page. HiLo48 (talk) 09:21, 29 June 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes. Note also per that policy that it may be the right thing to remove more names (I haven't checked the sources). Just because we can include names of decently sourced wives and step-children it doesn't mean we should, it's up to editorial discretion/consensus.
