[[User:HiLo48|HiLo48]] For clarity it is this bold edit HiLo48 that you included and I disagreed with. My objection is based on the source you've selected and you choosing to include the long quote from that source. Up until now you have avoided discussing these two specific issues I've raised and have instead talked about other irrelevant details and Rupert Murdoch etc. We should only ever include in a Wikipedia article what good quality sources say. Nothing more and adhere strictly to all Wikipedia policies in doing so. Please focus only on resolving this rather than avoiding discussion of these as you have done, but then also oppose me altering the text or removing it until a better more neutral source can be found. "The Australian has been criticised for its right wing agenda. [[The Monthly]] reported "...The Australian...articulates and enables much of the agenda of the right wing of politics (and the present government)...Critics have their numerous differences and disagreements, but in the pages of the Australian they become one tribe: the enemy. “Left-wingers”."<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.themonthly.com.au/issue/2014/june/1403486074/margaret-simons/daily-narcissist|title=The decline of the ‘Australian’|last=Simons|first=Margaret|date=June 2014|work=The Monthly|access-date=1 August 2018|language=en}}</ref>[[User:Merphee|Merphee]] ([[User talk:Merphee|talk]]) 03:08, 7 August 2018 (UTC)
:[[User:HiLo48|HiLo48]]Ok fine. Of course I read your comment please don't make assumptions without evidence, it's not going to be tolerated any longer. Please also post your comments directly at the base of the page as it confuses other editors who try to read through all of this. Your comments '''do not address the neutrality of the source or you choosing to include the full quote'''. We need to be careful when making such bold political statements about The Australian Newspaper like you've decided to include, to help protect Wikipedia from possible defamation and Wikipedia using an extreme left-wing political magazine 'essay' to do so. Rather than take up space here on the article talk page I suggest we use dispute resolution. Are you open to someone completely independent to moderate our discussion?[[User:Merphee|Merphee]] ([[User talk:Merphee|talk]]) 03:57, 7 August 2018 (UTC)
