Dibo, you require a citation for this. Ehinger222 10:31, 25 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Citation required[edit]

This article needs a citation. Ehinger222 08:28, 26 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I understand that you wanted a citation for the "liberal" comment, which is justifiable. I have removed that comment and replaced it with information as to him being a journo at vietnam. the other info is verified by the source i have supplied from the Whitlam Institute. Overall, though, I think you could have achieved your ends by talking things through on the talk page and making small edits - or just Being bold and removing the liberal comment and replacing it with sourced career-based material. Blanking the page helps no-one and just makes it look like you're blatantly vandalising the page. Cheers, Jpe|ob 09:06, 26 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Retirement[edit]

Alan Ramsey has now retired from journalism. I believe his last article for the SMH was Saturday 20th December 2008. However, the last one available online is the week before: 13th December 2008. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.170.228.33 (talk) 23:01, 27 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Is this a joke?[edit]

One quarter of this (the first and last paragraphs) is important biographical information, appropriate for an encyclopedia article. The rest is muckraking. Being referenced does not make it relevant or appropriate. If this were a long and generally neutral or balanced biography, then perhaps one or two of these anecdotes might add some colour. But for them to comprise the bulk of the biography makes this article is an embarrassment to Wikipedia. I'm removing the middle four paragraphs. Anthony (talk) 15:36, 29 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
