Spouse and child need amending. Reference: go visit the whips, chains and brains podcast. It very clearly states they are not together and why. 117.20.71.81 (talk) 06:14, 1 June 2021 (UTC)Reply

edit

A number of changes were made by a user at IP 107.142.170.140 today. I have reverted or edited many of these, with my reasons below.

  • A number of wording changes were made which meant this article was slightly different to the sources. In most cases I have reverted to the language used by the sources (eg "co-founder" rather than "founding member", "founded" a company rather than "set up" one).
  • This source states at the top that it is a "supplied media release". It is therefore a primary source and so is not appropriate in a biography of living persons, except perhaps to provide information unlikely to be disputed (eg birth place, age etc).
  • A direct quote from a source was edited without anything in the article indicating this. I have reverted this.
  • "...but the article was clear Bezzant was not involved these issues [at Parking Sense]" - the article does not say this and indeed makes the case to the opposite. For example, the article says, "A former Parking Sense executive said projects touted by Bezzant were 'pure fantasy'. One example of this was Wade Park, a stalled and bankrupt $US2 billion urban development project in Dallas, which is now subject to fraud claims."
  • Deletion of "...with other men" - this is an unexplained deletion of text supported by the source. Not all facts from a source are relevant enough to include, but without an explanation of the removal I have reinstated it.
  • Changing "After the initial allegations, Bezzant resigned from the National Party" to "Bezzant had already resigned from the National Party." The allegations were made on 31 May and the resignation was announced on 2 June. While it is possible that the resignation predated the first accusation, the sources do not support it. I've changed this to simply stating when the resignation was announced.
  • "Collins and Bezzant known to be at odds before the allegations" - This statement is unsupported by the inline citation so I have removed it. If you know of a source showing that Collins and Bezzant were at odds before the allegations, please add it to the article.

Thanks User:HenryCrun15. I was going to do this when I had time later today. I think you've made the right call on all of them. It seems likely that the IP user is associated with Bezzant, as it seems like they were trying to talk up the accomplishments. Nauseous Man (talk) 01:37, 29 July 2021 (UTC)Reply
