Talk:A Current Affair (Australian TV program)

message: Without sources the article isn't neutral. There has been an edit by an Anon who changed poor ratings to the strong competition win. Both are unsourced and are not neutrally worded. Bidgee (talk) 12:31, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

replies: text: Any detail on this program is immediately removed as unverifiable if it has negative connotations; as its neutrality is totally compromised the article should be deleted.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ashtonstreet01 (talk • contribs) 00:48, 22 July 2008 (UTC)

text: Exactly, Wongm.  However I suspect any attempt to add this information would result in an instant deletion, for whatever other spurious reasons.  On the basis of the arguments against my edits, easily-verifiable information (verifiable merely by viewing the show), even if provided by someone with a background in professional media analysis (which I have) is less relevant to an article than a so-called "sourced" claim, even if taken, for example, from a website or an obscure newspaper.  Myriad other articles on Wikipedia show that such "verifications" are not required ... but here they apparently are.  As I see it the far-reaching power of media organisations is too great for Wikipedia to handle at this point in time. Ashtonstreet01 (talk) 07:14, 22 July 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: What is supposed to happen is that content should be Verifiable against reliable sources, and you can't do any original research. They are the main content policies, and even though a lot of pages don't meet them, if you are a new person and you don't follow them exactly then stuff gets removed.

replies: text: Agreed; this is a highly controversial show which time and time again presents populist, sensationalist stories with obvious bias as proper editorial content. They also frequently air poorly disguised advertisements (sometimes you see the same one twice in a week) and yet there is no mention of this whatsoever in this page, I smell something fishy - Drthatguy (talk) 10:58, 26 April 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Neutrality 

message: There is somebody out there that keeps changing the dates of presenters on this page. They insist that the show was around in Australia in 2005 (and I have previously seen that the show was rested in December? 2007/2008 Summer Period). A Current Affair never was on the air in Summer 2007-2008!!! I will change these dates back unless I have evidence that prooves me wrong (which I doubt!) --Darijoe 06:47, 16 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: ACA has only ever been "rested" in the summer of 2005-2006. I can quite clearly remember that ACA did air over the summer of 2007/2008 so your information is incorrect. --Brad F 89 (talk) 00:36, 13 June 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: However, I did some research, and infact it was not the whole summmer of 2005/06, only four weeks. Brad F 89 (talk) 00:00, 9 November 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  Missing Reporter (18/02/2021) 

message: Why do we need a separate disambiguation page titled A Current Affair, as it only has 2 topics? We could delete that disambiguation page, move this article to A Current Affair, and just use a  hatnote, on this and the A Current Affair (American TV program) articles, for vice versa see article.
