Is this common?

I saw Beattie's wikipedia picture on the news a couple of weeks ago on a hate pamphlet by one of the amalgamation campaign groups, I think the pamphlet compared him to a nazi and a communist. Alec -(answering machine) 03:48, 30 May 2007 (UTC)Reply

Youtube debacle

I suggest adding a section dealing with the Youtube incident of July 2007, where John Howard's foray into the internet resulted in his being widely mocked and lampooned by the public Zzzzeta 01:53, 21 July 2007 (UTC)Reply

Kirribilli House

Is there a reason why Kirribilli House and The Lodge aren't mentioned in the First term section? That was a significant issue then and still is in a way now his children are all adult. Alec -(answering machine) 08:14, 9 June 2007 (UTC)Reply

To be honest I think it was minor compared to the points mentioned in that section, though something could be added. Peter Ballard 12:48, 9 June 2007 (UTC)Reply

Tracksuit

Could we get a picture of him supporting the Socceroos wearing his green & gold tracksuit? Could we also get some statistics on where he jogs in the morning? Sven the llama 02:25, 21 June 2007 (UTC)Reply

planning on a bit of stalking are you? :) Alec -(answering machine) 03:30, 21 June 2007 (UTC)Reply
Um collecting statistics on where he jogs would be OR. If you want to do something like that, try a blog or something. And personally given the current climate in Australia I would take great care collecting something like that. Nil Einne 11:33, 18 July 2007 (UTC)Reply

Indigenous affairs

This, in the light of recent events, deserves its own section. I certainly don't feel up to writing it. . . Slac speak up!

As is usually the case in this sort of thing, I suggest waiting a couple of weeks for perspective. On the other hand, it could be good to expand on his handling of it in his first 2 terms (Wik is hardly mentioned, though it does have its own article). Peter Ballard 09:23, 22 June 2007 (UTC)Reply

Signature

Can someone get his signature, like they have for UK and USA leaders?

It's not a high priority. Slac speak up! 07:52, 29 June 2007 (UTC)Reply

"Rt Hon"

John Howard is NOT a "Right Honourable". For some reason, "Prestor John" (who deleted my message last time I pointed this out) and "Socialdemocrats" (who added "Rt Hon" in the first place) seem to think that this is not true. I really don't want to register at Wikipedia, but I don't appreciate when I bring up a valid point that is deleted as "anon vandalism". This is why nobody takes Wikipedia seriously as a reliable source. John Howard is "The Hon John Howard". He IS NOT "The Rt Hon". It is a fact, get over it. The last PM to be "The Rt Hon" was Fraser, no other PM has been a member of Privy. I can't change this as the article is protected, so would somebody else?— Preceding unsigned comment added by 58.106.150.137 (talk)

As per my edit comment, done. Wikipedia, although not as accurate as it could be, can be improved by more editors ensuring it is correct. Join up and assist and it will be increasingly correct. It may not be fully correct, but is to some extent taken seriously, and in some cases is the only place to find the information. Template: Politics of Australia... AFAIK theres no other place on the web with a comprehensive federal election database like that. Timeshift 02:26, 7 July 2007 (UTC)Reply
