replies: text: I agree with 130.194.13.102  The article is of poor quality and the username Lot'sWife suggests the article has been created by someone within the organisation.  No verifiable statement of notability. If not fixed should be listed as AfD ````  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mediabot (talk • contribs) 12:42, 13 September 2007 (UTC)

message: I have only just come across this info and as a 65yo dinosaur who does not [cannot] use the medium just want to say that your history is not exactly accurate. If you want more info on Farm News/ Chaos/ Lots Wife give me a call. o3 97181361 or petesteedman AT hotmail DOT com
This business about the offices of Chaos being 'stormed' by students opposed to its sexist content seems dubious, if not outright fantasy. Looking through the archived issues online, it appears that much more mundane reasons lay behind its 're-branding'. See the link below for an account from a current Monash lecturer and former student on the history of the newspaper:
www.magpies.net/nick/bb/viewtopic.php?p=1060217
This account seems to be supported by editorials from late issues of Chaos and early issues of Lot's Wife. Indeed, perusals of the latter will find much of the supposedly sexist content intact. I have no idea whether the aforementioned incident occurred much later in the '60s (far from implausible!) or simply never happened at all.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 149.135.147.89 (talk) 13:14, 15 October 2012 (UTC)
replies: text:  I am completely in agreement with you, but we both know that history is (re)written by the victors. Look at the tertiary education scene today... and weep. Wither debate? Wither objectivity? Wither disobedience? And wither - whither - humour? 121.44.208.109 (talk) 05:56, 25 January 2016 (UTC)

message: I removed the reference to the Liberal Party vis-a-via Helas, since there is no evidence to support the claim. Angelfire1982
Reference to Con Helas has been returned (this time with some references) however I would argue it should go.  It's not of sufficient importance, begs the question "who are these people", and you could argue there have been much more important and relevant controversies in the Lot's Wife history (such as student's occupying the office in protest on several occasions).  I don't think Con Helas would be too happy to read this either, where is the individuals protection? Yu can argue a celebrity or notable person no longer has that sort of protection, but a private individual should have it. 130.194.13.104 (talk) 06:19, 9 December 2007 (UTC)
