Semi-protection

I've semi-protected this page for one day - because of increased vandalism - most likely due to this news article: http://www.smh.com.au/federal-politics/political-news/greg-hunt-uses-wikipedia-research-to-dismiss-links-between-climate-change-and-bushfires-20131023-2w1w5.html -- Chuq (talk) 00:55, 24 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The line about "important policy research" should be removed, or properly sourced. It references only the Sydney morning herald/Fairfax article which takes as its source for the claim...this very article that references the SMH. If he really can be "quoted" as "[using] Wikipedia for important policy research" please provide that quote. I have no interest in Australian politics or denying climate change but I find this point very irritating. The 'bushfires in Australia' page contains detailed information and should not be mocked, neither should a newspaper be quoting a single line by a single NON-REGISTERED user in the middle of a political debate where the page is likely to change. If 149.171.104.159 doesn't believe wikipedia should be relied on as a source, in this case statements of fact regarding past bushfired, they are welcome to leave--Markbenjamin (talk) 02:23, 24 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I haven't changed the page but welcome debate. --Markbenjamin (talk) 02:23, 24 October 2013 (UTC)— Preceding unsigned comment added by Markbenjamin (talk • contribs) 02:06, 24 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I agree, and I have removed it. St Anselm (talk) 02:22, 24 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

"Wikipedia Quote

I would suggest Markbejamin actually listen to the headline audio clip supplied by Fairfax in the SMH article, as it contains a recording of Greg Hunt on the BBC world service making the following relevant truncated statement;

"I looked up what Wikipedia said for example..."

I would also suggest in the future he properly investigate issues of referencing before then expecting others to correct his own mistakes.
