Talk:James Flinders

Thought I'd have a go at this page...2004 people - how can we put why he stopped being SD? I did put a line in that explained why but didn't go into detail, but is it best not to mention it? Or at least until after the elections? Jonathan 11:03, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

We need to be careful to be factual, or at least to clearly mark anything which is opinion (seems fair as long as it is marked - what do people think?) Waiting until after elections might be courteous.(sp?) Rowan 16:12, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

Three years on surely we can say something like "due to disagreements over his leadership style he was no confidenced after a month as Station Director" or similar? It's about as factual as you can get Jonathan 17:02, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

That seems entirely reasonable Vanky 19:39, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

Agreed. Whatever the reasons that were given in the EGM is reasonable to put here. We've got enough of us that weren't involved to be impartial and make sure you're only giving facts :-) Rick 23:24, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

OK, how about this... Add basic factual info to the James Flinders page, as suggested. Then later (after elections, and when I have some time) I'll write a separate page about the whole debacle, as one of the few people around who were there. Obviously others can keep an eye on my neutrality (and those that were there add to the info) but we can mark the page as a bit contentious. That seem reasonable? Rowan 10:02, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

I look forward to reading your full page on it but I do worry whether it's really what the wiki should be for...I know it is a long time ago, but it wasn't a particularly nice period and I wonder whether it needs documenting other than the line I suggested. Jonathan 10:28, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
