Sheraton Hotel incident details

This article originally stated that in the 1983 Sheraton Hotel incident, the agents were arrested, and in an allegedly drunken state. I can't find any confirmation of that. Anyone have any? --K. 06:02, 5 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Hey - with the impending anti-terrorist legislation about to go through - are we allowed to write about such secret squirrel stuff or do we risk getting done for sedition? Do we have any martyrs out there? Being only one of two d'angelos living in Canberra, with the possibility of arab ancestors from around 1,000 years ago, I'm definitely keeping my head down low. I hereby formally state that I had nothing to do with this article and if I have said anything to offend anyone, I take it all back forthwith.
ρ¡ρρµ δ→θ∑ - (waarom? jus'b'coz!) 11:21, 26 November 2005 (UTC) ps this logo is used by the Western Bulldogs and does not carry any political intent or meaning - I promise - they are as squeaky white waspish as you can get despite the fact that the old Footscray West neighbourhood is about as multicultural as any place on Earth (to put it mildly) - so I beg all ASIS officers reading this page - don't take out your frustrations on the Bullies!![reply

It is unlikely that the Sunday Age could have disclosed the names following the incident, as it did not exist until 1989 (unless, of course, "following" means over 6 years later). So it was either a weekday or Saturday Age, or one of the former Sunday newspapers such as the Sunday Press. -- Pdwerryh 11:25, 25 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

References need restoration work

Once upon a time this article was very well referenced: [1] shows the last version where references were associated with specific facts. Then the references got "cleaned up", in the process dissociating them from the article text. This is going to be a bunch of hard work to restore since a years' worth of editing has gone on since then, I'm unlikely to get very far before heading off. So I'm leaving a note here on Talk: for others to pick up on. Bryan 06:12, 1 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, never mind - sorting out the old "Digest1" etc ref templates was easier than I'd feared, I think I'm done. Bryan 06:48, 1 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Assessment completed for Australian Secret Intelligence Service


As per either a recent request at or because this article was listed as fully or partly unassessed at Wikipedia:WikiProject Australia/Assessment I have just now completed a rating of the article and posted my results to this page. Those results are detailed above in the template box. Unfortunately, due to the volume of articles that need to be assessed, I am unable to leave detailed comments other than to make the following brief observation: article supplies a reasonable to good depth of knowledge

However if you have specific questions, please write to me on my talk page and as time permits I will try to provide you with my reasoning. Please put my talk page on your watchlist if you do ask such a question because in the case of these responses I will only post my answer underneath your question.

ALSO if you do not agree with the rating you can list it in the "Requesting an assessment section", and someone will take a look at it.--VS talk 10:24, 17 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hope Royal Commission

The National Archives of Australia has released the records of the Royal Commission on Intelligence and Security under the 30 year rule.[2] There is more than enough material to spin this off into a new article. 59.167.57.197 (talk) 08:41, 27 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This discussion is
transcluded from Talk:Australian Secret Intelligence Service/GA1
. The edit link for this section can be used to add comments to the reassessment.

Staring GA reassessment. Jezhotwells (talk) 15:30, 5 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]


Checking against GA criteria

WP:GAR
.


  1. It is reasonably well written.
    a (prose):
    • The artcile is reasonably well written
    b (MoS):
    • There are a large number of redlinks. Redlinks are fine if the articles are going to be written, but they haven't been in 3 years. The bulleted list in Legislative changes affecting ASIS is not good. Please rewrite as prose.
  2. It is factually accurate and verifiable.
    a (references):
    • A large number of statements are not referenced at all. The citation format is not consistent thtroughout
    b (citations to
    reliable sources
    )    :
    • Alkl that can be checked are OK
    c (OR):
  3. It is broad in its scope.
    a (major aspects):
    • Is there material available about ASIS between 1954 & 1972?
    b (focused):
  4. It follows the
    neutral point of view
    policy    .
    Fair representation without bias:
  5. It is stable.
    No edit wars etc.:
  6. It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate.
    a (images are tagged and non-free images have
    fair use rationales
    )    :
    • tagged and licensed or with suitable rationale
    b (appropriate use with
    suitable captions
    )    :
    • captioned
  7. Overall:
    Pass/Fail:
    • A few concerns, Redlinks, referencing, is the article as broad as it could be in scope? On hold [forgot to sign - July 7 Jezhotwells]
    It likes as if progress is being made. leave a note here if you need more time. Jezhotwells (talk) 13:32, 11 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
    • OK, very little has been done so I am going to de-list the article. When it has been improved please consider submitting at
      WP:GAR for community reassessmnet. Thanks. Jezhotwells (talk) 18:58, 17 July 2009 (UTC)[reply

Ratih Hardjono, Bruce Grant, & Gareth Evans section

This section seems out of place; its relevance to ASIS isn't clear, it contains a number of grammatical errors, and it seems to be written from a very specific point of view. Delete?
