message: This section needs sources. While I have no doubt that he has suffered from racism, these accusations need to be attributed to specific sources. Especially when the Crocodile Dundee production is singled out. The section also uses 'many people', 'journals', 'many feel' etc, which are weasel words. These need to be explicit.

message: This article is heavily plagiarised from the biography section of Gulpilil's website (http://www.gulpilil.com/biography.htm).  While I hesitate to remove the entire article, this should be addressed as soon as possible. J Herington 13:05, 28 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Just thinking out loud. Is there a possibility that the original author of most of the text (204.196.184.168) is also the author (or related to the author) of the gulpilil website? In that case, would it still be considered plagiarism? In other words, I do see the not-so-coincidental similarities, and it may be plagiarism, but could it also have been a helpful hand? Further, there is the direct link to the official website. Cheers! Didgeweb 16:44, 28 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: It could be that the Gulpilil site has copied from WP. It takes a bit of research with archived versions of that site to verify which came first.--Quisqualis (talk) 08:57, 6 December 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: Seems highly likely that it is the website that has plagiarised the bio. Even cowgirls get the blues.--Jack Upland (talk) 03:46, 21 January 2022 (UTC)

message: It's stated that "he is said to have committed the worst of tribal offences" but it isn't clear what these offences might be. Can this be clarified? Widmerpool (talk) 06:55, 11 December 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Assessment comment

message: It currently suggests 1963 in the ‘early life’ section. I think this is a typo and it should be 53. He was more than 8 in Walkabout. Generally needs tidying up as him birthdate is given definitively at the top, then questioned below. 212.56.109.164 (talk) 13:11, 30 November 2021 (UTC)
thread_title:  Year of birth 

message: I’m not an expert, and presumably there is precedent for this, but should his name now be changed to David Dalaithngu, in line with Aboriginal naming customs for the dead?
Perhaps with his name in life auto-forwarding to this page? 212.56.109.164 (talk) 13:13, 30 November 2021 (UTC)
