War Criminal Allegations

Khalil claims the Greens campaigners called him a war criminal but the only source is his word. I attempted to edit the article about this but it was removed. Is there any way the article can reflect that it's more a rumour then a fact? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Khalil#Parliamentary_service — Preceding unsigned comment added by BlueMountainPanther (talk • contribs) 09:47, 5 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Should Party Faction go at the start of the article or another section?

@ITBF: I have started a discussion about where in the article for Australian politics faction membership should go here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Australian_politics

As you edited this I thought you might have thoughts. Additionally what is the reasoning behind adding a date (of when The Age article was written) to faction membership? BlueMountainPanther (talk) 07:58, 1 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Re the date, factional alignment does change - albeit possibly less frequently than in other parties as the ALP factional system is more formal. In this case the source article ties him to a specific right sub-faction (Shorten/AWU). Given Bill Shorten has just retired it seems possibly that there may be a shift in alignment so I think it's better to establish a firm date. I T B F 📢 08:05, 2 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Re positioning in the article - I don't have a strong preference, however the general rule is that content should only be in the lede if it's sourced in the article body. I would say factional alignment is typically only relevant for the lede if the person has been called a "factional leader", otherwise it probably isn't as relevant. Again I don't have a strong preference for Khalil's article. I T B F 📢 08:08, 2 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
