Assange affair

The Daily Mail "public school girl" (demeaning title) article has lots of bio details on Harrison and dedicates a significant section to reports of an affair with Assange. As this is a BLP article, I only added a sentence on this topic so as not to provide undue weight while we wait for more sources to corroborate these claims. czar · · 17:04, 29 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The Daily Mail is a scandal sheet and I'm very uncomfortable including this at all. Per BLP I'm removing it, and as I'm not a BLP expert, will ask for guidance on BLPN. Kendall-K1 (talk) 20:09, 29 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I would say it is Wikipedia:EXCEPTIONAL and needs coverage by far more sources and reliable ones. It is also wp:gossip, wp:undue, etc, etc. Yellow journalism may like to print BS to sell papers but we don't repeat it just to get more readers.--Canoe1967 (talk) 22:27, 29 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

In Andrew O'Hagan's article about the time he spent ghostwriting Assange's book, he mentions she was his girlfriend at the time

"Sarah Harrison, Assange’s personal assistant and girlfriend, was wearing a woolly jumper and kept scraping her ringlets off her face." Later, she talks to O'Hagan about her relationship with Assange.

"As the conversation went on you could see she was strung between loving him and being baffled. She said she knew that he was only loyal to her because they were ‘stuck in that house’. As soon as he was free he would chase other girls. ‘He openly chats girls up and has his hand on their arse,’ she said, ‘and goes nuts if I even talk to another guy.’ She said he couldn’t stand her being away from him and didn’t think she should see friends or go on holiday or ‘abandon’ him at all."

Yes, Wikipedia:EXCEPTIONAL. The O'Hagan piece is very thorough and a reliable source. Daily Mail is notorious but not just a scandal sheet. O'Hagan is authoritative.

I've taken the description of Harrison as the "partner" of Assange from the infobox. There was no source for the dates 2009–2012. In fact, the source cited said the relationship started in 2010. The quotation above suggests that the relationship was not exactly a committed one, so I don't see why it should be included.--Jack Upland (talk) 00:15, 9 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Since that text wasn't used or even sourced in this article, attribution (by CC or otherwise) would be unnecessary czar · · 00:16, 15 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Closest adviser source of Business Insider

Using a Google owned spyware web site (Business Insider) as the source for validating Susan Harrison as the closest adviser to Julian Assange must be a stretch for sources or Yale humor. Anyway, carry on.Patroit22 (talk) 02:52, 27 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Journalist?

I don't see any reports of her doing any journalism.--Jack Upland (talk) 00:20, 9 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

If this is her, she is a Council on foreign relations member: https://twitter.com/Seharrison7/ Family Guy Guy (talk) 17:13, 7 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

That's not her: see [1].--Jack Upland (talk) 01:54, 8 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Some excerpts from the references used in her wiki bio:

Harrison is a U.K. journalist, legal researcher, and section editor for WikiLeaks who has been with the organization for more than two years.[2]

Back in London in 2008, she took an internship at the nonprofit Centre for Investigative Journalism, quickly distinguishing herself as a skilled researcher.[3]

But following an appeal ruling in January journalists are now effectively exempt from Schedule 7 and Harrison is “delighted” that she can come visit family and “Julian”.[4]

There are few other sources about her. Here are two:
