You will see I have reversed the inclusion of a list of references written by Mundine. These references were previously inserted by another editor. You will see they are currently listed on the talk page. They are there as a resource for editors who may wish to refer to them in expanding the article. However, note that as Mundine is credited as originating the idea of the memorial, his works would not be ideal sources of critical commentary. His work should also not be relied upon to establish whether or not he was the originator of the idea - that fact is sourced to others, such as the NGA and Caruana. These are reasons why Mundine's own writings are of limited use in this context. Also, as the article is about the Memorial as an artwork, obviously the artists, and critical analysis of the work, are the central elements of the article. I hope this clarifies why I've responded to yours (and others) edits as I have. hamiltonstone (talk) 10:58, 13 November 2012 (UTC)
Hi again. On an unrelated matter (the proposal for a WP article on Adrian Newstead), I note your user name is that of an employee of Newstead at Cooee. If that is you, you may wish to read WP:COI. Not an issue with the Aboriginal Memorial article, but definitely would be an issue for any article on Newstead. You can ping me at my talk page if you have any questions.
