message: Regarding the "facebook incident": There were lots of conspiracy theories around, in particular, that the screenshots were fake and Nikolic had been set up. Has anyone noticed a reliable source discussing conspiracy theories? (I haven't - yet) Pdfpdf (talk) 17:50, 17 May 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm a relative local to these events and I haven't heard or seen anything other than a whackadoodle theory manufactured by very passionate Nikolic supporters and spread via hearsay, certainly nothing in print or anything even approaching a reliable source.

message: It seems to me that the "Honours and awards" section should be a sub-section of the "Military career section" as all of his former stem from, and are a part of, the latter.  Is there any practical reason why the table of awards should be at the bottom, disconnected from his miliary career? Autumnalmonk (talk) 11:33, 20 May 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't know about "practical reason", but yes, there are reasons why it's separate and at the bottom. It's for all honours and awards throughout his life. Yes, to date they are nearly all due to the 30 years he spent in the army. But note that there's also the SAPOL commendation (which I'm trying to find more about.) It's possible that may have resulted in a gong - probably a SAPOL gong which would be worn on the right side. And given how "on the nose" Labor are in Tasmania, he may well get elected, in which case he'll possibly end up with a civilian AO to put next to his military AM. And who knows what other honours will be bestowed upon him - he's only 50. A whole other can-of-worms is that there is a vocal section of the WP community that don't like ribbons; I'm fairly confident that if you put the ribbons in the body of the article, they will make a huge fuss. So, although what you say may well seem logical, I'm afraid there are other factors involved which are not driven by logic. Hence, I suggest against merging the sections.

replies: text: Ah, fair enough then. While Labor might very well be "on the nose" as you say, in my opinion it's increasingly unlikely that Nikolic will ever be elected.  Becoming the subject of an international media scandal hasn't done him any favors, and he seems to be offending more and more people with other less-publicized behavioral issues- a pattern not at all positive given there's still 18 months to the election. Unless his candidacy implodes, he's assured of having the die-hard Liberal voters but he's making it increasingly difficult for himself to garner any of the swing voters or preferences.
