This article is subject to repeated attacks, additions to page ignoring NPOV and BLP guidelines. May need monitoring by administrator. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Qldsydmel (talk • contribs) 02:59, 25 May 2020 (UTC)

Repeated breaches of BLP.

SPOV user intent on adding adverse material in breach of NPOV. Can administrator monitor or lock page. Qldsydmel (talk) 03:31, 25 May 2020 (UTC)

We certainly do not want the page locked. It is on several watchlists, and POV material can be quickly reverted. WWGB (talk) 03:41, 25 May 2020 (UTC)

Thanks- that makes sense. Qldsydmel (talk) 04:04, 25 May 2020 (UTC)

Speaking of NPOV, there seems to be overuse of non-independent sources like McKenzie's own writings, his union, and his employer/newspaper. Morbidthoughts (talk) 17:33, 29 May 2020 (UTC)

These claims can have merit or no merit and are tested at trial but if a matter is settled confidentially prior to trial, they are not tested. Care should be taken in sourcing materiel in respect of allegations made in libel actions. The additions that have been removed from this page relate to libel cases and statement of claims. Libel actions are common in Australia against journalists- it’s known as the defamation capital of the world. Qldsydmel (talk) 21:31, 3 June 2020 (UTC)

If it is reported by multiple reliable sources (and that's a big if), then the allegations should be included in the article despite how common it is to you. Right now, his biography is a puff piece if actual cited criticism of his works is omitted. Morbidthoughts (talk) 21:38, 3 June 2020 (UTC)
