Talk:Mark Oliphant

message: Article says he was involved in the dismissal of Whitlam and supported John Kerr - any refs for this, given Barwick, Kerr and Fraser have previously been the only names mentioned - and how was he "involved"? Also the role with the Democrats appears in the lead but not in the body. There is only three refs for the whole article. I've temporarily downgraded this to Start until these issues are resolved.

replies: text: Nope... followed a link from the Dems page, and noted the B class rating for the article which didn't seem right given the above issues. Good photos btw :) Orderinchaos 20:00, 17 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The role in the dismissal was very minor - he had to issue writs for the senate election. User:Bjenks deleted it on 21-Aug-2007 (See diff here ) but unfortuantely left in the summary phrase "he was involved in the dismissal of the Whitlam government". So I'll delete it now.

replies: text: Read it. Didn't see anything that made me want to update the article. Trying to write a double-biography about two people a generation apart made the narrative a bit choppy as it shifted back and forth in time. Still some room for another biography.
