Talk:Division of Fenner

I have removed

although demographic change and alleged voter dissatisfaction with the current member may produce a closer contest in the 2007 federal election.<ref>[[The Australian]] - [[ 5 March]] [[2007]]</ref>

from the article. The reference is insufficiently specific - a link to the article and proper citation should be provided for the reference to stand. The assertion is speculation and unsubstantiated and in my view strongly breaches several aspects of WP:NOT - specifically

• Wikipedia is not a publisher of original thought
• Wikipedia is not a soapbox - see WP:SOAP for exapansion
• Wikipedia is not a crystal ball - speculation about [future events] must be well documented.

I would put this speculation in the same light as an edit to the article on Troy Williams, the 2007 liberal candidate, where speculation about the unwinnability of the seat: however the eighteen percent swing to the Liberals (and an incumbent government) required to gain this seat renders it unwinnable in reality. wasremoved with the editor's note "Political comment not fact" ! --Golden Wattle ^talk 00:45, 7 August 2007 (UTC)Reply
