Comment[edit]

"[links to the Exclusive Brethren] have been verified by police investigator Wayne Idour..." - huh? The reference doen't say this.

Air New Zealand Unsafe[edit]

I have removed this section from the article as we are describing only notable articles here. I could not find any sources to support the idea that that article had any impact on the world beyond the readers of Investigate magazine. If any such references do exist, please revert the deletion and add the references to the article's footnotes. BreathingMeat (talk) 00:19, 31 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Peter Davis[edit]

He was in the October not September (2006) issue; and though it didn't actually say he was gay, the smoking gun issue was full of innuendo about the "Peter Davis mystery" and the "mystery" man; and asked for his identity and details of other "social contacts" of Davis or Clark Hugo999 (talk) 01:55, 25 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

If you have corrections, go ahead and boldly change the article! BreathingMeat (talk) 20:24, 26 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Notable articles[edit]

I've removed two more sections which were supported only by links to the magazine or closely associated material, or in one case, a press release from a minor opposing group. An article is only notable if the mainstream media picks up the issue and gives credit to Investigate as the source. There are other sections which might not be sufficiently supported by external references and can be removed.-gadfium 18:34, 21 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It was added back by BreathingMeat who says there are some sources in the Dominion Post. I didn't personally see any mention of this but I AGF that he's correct but I've fact tagged it so these sources can be added. I've also removed the follow up article. The fact the first article may have been notable doesn't mean the follow ups are. I've left in the bit about the allegations some people didn't actually read the article (which doesn't really surprise me) but removed the bit about the RAM. RAM are the ones who issues the press release we link to. Grant Morgan the letter writter's leanings are already discussed in his article. The RAM bit therefore wasn't any sort of revelation, that suggests it was some big secret. Nil Einne (talk) 01:00, 27 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

You need to be better informed. The notable original article was made even more notable by the follow-ups, particularly the Lashkar e Taiba connection. The incident made other newspapers and was raised in the NZ parliament: http://www.stuff.co.nz/waikato-times/news/47561

The significance of the TGIF Edition coverage was that Official Information Act documents confirmed the Minister and his department gave the all clear, despite never having translated the incriminating documentation.

Far from being irrelevant, it eclipses the significance of the RAM press release you have given more space to. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 222.153.228.173 (talk) 11:40, 5 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Actually I don't need to be anything. If you have sources, you are welcome to add them to the article. It's not my or anyone's responsibility to find sources because someone else added something without bothering to source them. Incidentally, the source you provided mentions the Investigate magazine article (which one it's referring to I don't know and don't care) but nothing about never translating documents or any relevance of that to the controversy. If you have some sources other then Investigate magazine which confirm that was of any relevance, then again you are welcome to use them to write a sourced section. If not, then again it's irrelevant. Nil Einne (talk) 15:57, 27 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Oh lookie here [1]. I guess I'm now better informed then our anon friend (and yes that story is dated October 2007 i.e. about 1.5 years before our anon friend made his/her post... Sorry but when someone get's all worked up about people 'not being informed' and they themselves are far from informed I think it's acceptable to point that out. This story may indeed belong in the article, but not for the reasons our anon friend here appears to think. Basically it appears Investigate has disseminated highly negative claims (maybe even defamatory although that's my own POV and doesn't belong in the article) against someone primarily based on allegations from a disgruntled employer and his relatives which were later shown to be unsubstantiated or maybe even false. But to be honest, I've already waste too much time on Investigate magazine so I'll let someone else deal with it, if anyone cares. Nil Einne (talk) 16:24, 27 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
