The last revision - I'd really like to see a reputable source for this, otherwise I'll revert it. It looks like gossip to me. All surgeons encounter situations like the one described. Sills bend 01:06, 27 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I wrote the last revision. The stories were related to me when I was registrar to the ENT Head and Neck Surgery Department of the Royal Melbourne hospital in 1994 by Mr Rodney Judson FRACS and Mr Michael Long FRACS both of whom are General Surgeons and worked under Weary Dunlop as trainees. I know it's hard to believe that heroes have feet of clay but they do. Ever wonder why he never received any honours from the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons? Simon Purser FRACS ENT Head and Neck Surgeon, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia 1 November 2005

OK - Wikipedia follows the No Original Research rule. I am reverting to the previous edit. Sills bend 03:49, 9 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

POV

This article has a lot of praising and charged phrases. "a man of such enormous energy"; "He was active in many spheres of endeavour."; "A courageous leader and compassionate doctor,"; "Dunlop defied his captors, gave hope to the sick and eased the anguish of the dying." Evan Seeds (talk) 08:08, 2 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Commands

The commands information is false and should be changed from "He made the wheels DUNLOP" to the real information.--Destructo^{Talk to me} 02:17, 8 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Diaries

Why are Weary Dunlop's War Diaries ISBN 0-14-300391-7 not referenced? That is surely the primary source for the years 1942-1945. Dugong.is.good.tucker (talk) 15:41, 12 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
