Reason for undoing last 6 edits.

I've just undone the last 6 edits to this article. Since I'm not totally sure whether this was either vandalism or an unconstructive (if well-meaning) series of edits, I thought I'd better explain why I've done this.

The editor added several paragraphs about the recent (as of January, 2010) controversy concerning attacks on Indian students in Melbourne. While these do relate to Simon Overland, they do seem to read like a highly topical newspaper report more than an encyclopaedia article. I can't quite shake off the feeling that the reason for this change was anger over the attacks (itself quite understandable) rather than because it was a useful change to the article.

Maybe this section does have a place in this article, and if anyone thinks so, they are free to add the material back again (it can be retrieved from the version of this article immediately before my own recent edit). But I don't think this material belonged under the heading "Career in law enforcement", and I don't think the editor should have removed the material about Simon Overland's career before this controversy arose. Adding the material about Indian students *and* removing the passages about Overland's earlier career made it sound as if this Indian student controversy was the only thing of note in Overland's entire career.

If I have stepped out of line in removing this material, my apologies. M.J.E. (talk) 17:09, 23 January 2010 (UTC)
