What is the Q?[edit]

All I wanted to know was what the Q stood for or meant 24.57.220.238 (talk) 22:23, 13 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Good question. I'd like to know too. HiLo48 (talk) 02:47, 23 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I believe it is Q as in the suburb "Kew" where the party was founded.Bacondrum (talk) 09:07, 24 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks. With that great hint, I went to Google and found a source that tells us precisely that - http://www.news.com.au/national/revealed-the-secretive-q-societys-battle-against-islam/news-story/1cd6fcff960b7a9ef856b44f1b4e54b2 . I'll stick it in the article. HiLo48 (talk) 09:17, 24 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Undue weight and excessive detail[edit]

@Antiallesaktion: Hey, I removed the template for Islam in Australian for a good reason, look at the contents, the series and category are about Islam...Q-Society is anti Islam, the category is about Islam, not those who oppose Islam...look at the contents, it does not belong there by any stretch. The details of the 1st Symposium on Liberty and Islam in Australia and lectures by Geert Wilders, Ayaan Hirsi Ali, Simon Deng etc do not warrant whole sections, they barely warrant a mention, a few hundred people attended and a couple of papers reported it, not even close to noteworthy enough for a whole section - giving them this much weight clearly violates WP:NOTE and WP:NPOV. Gert Wilders actual visit (not the screened appearance) was reported about extensively and there was a public debate about letting him enter the country, that is noteworthy, same for the Defending Freedom of Speech fundraiser, that is actually noteworthy, it received extensive news coverage, was attended by members of the government, received protests and widespread condemnation. The rest of the content looks like a promo, it's severely undue, the minutia of the groups activities are not notable. Bacondrum (talk) 00:00, 30 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

You may be right on the length and relevance, but the way it is worded now is well outside of WP:NPOV and needs a significant level of rewrite to be in line with other similar sections, particularly around implying that former Muslims like Ayaan Hirsi Ali are "islamophobic" or "far right" given that she served as a politician in the Dutch Labor Party (PvdA) and then the centre-right People's Party (VVD) neither of which are far-right organisations. I will attempt to rewrite that section to remove the bias, as it is very misleading the way it is poorly written.Antiallesaktion (talk) 01:51, 30 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I agree and have no objections to that. The page is pretty average on the whole, could use a fair bit of work. Bacondrum (talk) 03:21, 30 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
