Talk:Gareth Evans (politician)

message: The second and third paragraph of the 1990-1998 section are highly non-neutral in tone ("astonishingly naive", "replete with champagne") and unsatisfactorily referenced (especially the Soares and John Pilger citations). This bit really needs cleanup. Oscillon (talk) 07:25, 20 August 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Reasons  for Non-Neutral Point of View tag 

message: I for one am very fond of R2P and other Evansian innovations, but it is probably best to simply add the Pilger-type criticisms to one section that gives the piece a bit of balance, as it stands now, it is too hagiographic.  There is not need to either accept or deny the veracity of the Pilger criticisms, but rather what is needed is mentioning them as part of the POV of Evans' critics.   — Preceding unsigned comment added by 41.137.35.130 (talk) 00:14, 26 February 2016 (UTC)
thread_title:  Add a Criticism Section 

message: The contribution here about Evans's tolerance, etc, of the Santa Cruz massacre and other events, is, imho, quite important stuff. However, it lacks the citations which we consider essential for potentially damaging content about a living person. I've deleted some of the most arbitrary and irrelevant matter and tagged other statements for citations. (Some of them are common knowledge, but still require verification to be included in Wikipedia.) Incidentally, I was chagrined to find citations in the Santa Cruz massacre article which can't be followed up because they give only an author's name and page number--no title!! So I've started a discussion on that, too. Cheers Bjenks (talk) 09:36, 10 October 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: The following was sent to my talk page but probably belongs here. I am not interested in promoting anyone's career, Evans included, and of course Wikepedia is not an appropriate vehicle for such purposes. Cheers Bjenks (talk) 14:59, 17 October 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Evans and apologia for Indonesian military violence 

message: The article states that the relationship with Kernot was not known until five years after Kernot's defection to the ALP -- I'm certain that this was reported widely in the news at the time...  Anyone like to check this? You, Me and Everyone Else (talk) 07:34, 30 July 2010 (UTC)

message: I have commenced a Bibliography section using cite templates. Capitalization and punctuation follow standard cataloguing rules in AACR2 and RDA, as much as Wikipedia templates allow it. ISBNs and other persistent identifiers, where available, are commented out, but still available for reference. This is a work in progress; feel free to continue.

thread_title:  Bibliography 

message: I wrote this bit but got reverted not once but twice, the second time was when I was asked to provide a source.
"Throughout his time as a member of both houses of Parliament, Evans served in three of the four leadership positions, deputy Senate leader, Senate leader and deputy leader in the House of Representatives.
 
−		 
−	
Ironically the only leadership position he did not attain was that of party leader (in the House of Representatives) which was the very reason for his switch from the Senate to the House of Representatives."
The second time I was asked to provide a source. I don't see why I have to do that because it emphasises what has already been written by others with the leadership positions.
Deputy Senate leader and Senate leader:
"Leader of the Government in the Senate, 1993–1996
In 1993, as a member of the Keating government, Senator Evans became Leader of the Government in the Senate, replacing the retiring John Button, whose Deputy he had been since 1987."
Switch from the Senate to the House of Representatives and leadership ambition:
"Evans had long desired to move from the Senate to the House of Representatives, where he hoped to pursue leadership ambitions."
Deputy leader:
"He was elected Deputy Leader of the Labor Party, defeating Simon Crean"
Therefore I should not be asked to provide a source to what others has already established with the leadership positions held by Evans and the reason for his switch from the Senate to the House of Representatives. 49.3.72.79 (talk) 09:07, 29 April 2021 (UTC)
