Semi-protected edit request on 16 May 2023

I suggest adding to the Hard Copy reference list: Tiffen, Rodney (2014). Rupert Murdoch: A Reassessment. UNSW Press JeffATcoodabeens (talk) 10:20, 16 May 2023 (UTC)

 Not done: it's not clear what changes you want to be made. Please mention the specific changes in a "change X to Y" format and provide a reliable source if appropriate. Callmemirela 🍁 12:16, 16 May 2023 (UTC)
The book referenced is by a leading Australian media academic, I think it would enhance the reading list JeffATcoodabeens (talk) 01:39, 28 May 2023 (UTC)

Reference to Show 'Succession'

When Murdoch is listed as an inspiration for the character Logan Roy in Succession, Logan is listed as 'the protagonist' of the show, despite him being the major antagonist throughout all four seasons. Discipula Dianae (talk) 03:42, 19 August 2023 (UTC)

This comment was reverted as off-topic discussion. ("Not a forum" was the reason given.) I am restoring it because it is not off-topic, but rather discussion of the article, which currently says "Murdoch was part of the inspiration for Logan Roy, the protagonist of TV show Succession, who is portrayed by Brian Cox." The in-line citation does not actually say anything about a "protagonist" (link) . SilverLocust 💬 23:23, 30 August 2023 (UTC)

Rupert Murdoch's mother, Elisabeth Joy Greene, was an Orthodox Jew

Edit ...

Rupert Murdoch's mother, Elisabeth Joy Greene, was an Orthodox Jew.

"Rupert's father, Sir Keith Murdoch, was a newspaper publisher, and his mother an Orthodox Jew, although Murdoch never offers that information in his biographies."

I think we'd need more than a single citation to a partisan organisation to justify such content. AndyTheGrump (talk) 23:07, 28 July 2024 (UTC)
We certainly would. The article on his mother, Elisabeth Murdoch (philanthropist), doesn't mention Jewishness at all. HiLo48 (talk) 03:33, 29 July 2024 (UTC)
Rupert Murdoch's Mother Was never a Jew, Nor was his farther Nor where his Grandparents on bothy sides .... They where & are All Australian Christian. They have given a fortune to the Christian churches in Australia. It's a complete Lie & fabrication to say The Murdochs are Jews. They Are Christians. The entire family. 14.201.49.58 (talk) 05:02, 8 September 2024 (UTC)
