Sully celebrated her 40th birthday in 2005, it was much publicised. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Rogerthat (talk • contribs)

September 11 attacks

Removed the following text:

Sully was the first Australian journalist to cover the news of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. She was live on air when the news of the disaster came through and Ten's Late News was the first to broadcast the CNN footage to Australia.

This was done as my recollection was that SBS picked it up several minutes before any other station. I couldn't find any information on the topic one way or another. If someone can find a source for this then please add it back in, though I'm not entirely sure that it belongs as part of this topic. Lod 08:05, 26 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Sandra Sulla was LIVE doing the late news when the attacks happend. She was given a piece of paper from a stage hand, and she read it out stating that the Wolrd Trade Centre had been attacked, and she would bring the viewers more news when they come in. Within 2 minutes, she said that they were crossing to New York for live feedings of what was occuring.

8Sandra was the first person to break the news as se was just concluding her bulletin, SBS had finished news production earlier that night.

Re: Sept. 11 coverage: Ten sourced many video providers for its live, breaking coverage on the night of September 11 from around 10:45PM Sydney time, not only CNN. Ten was around a half-hour ahead of Nine and Seven on rolling coverage, as I recall. The attacks occurred from 10:43pm Sydney time, as I recall. I flicked to 7 and 9, and they did not have continuous coverage for a while after. Ten went all night (along with all nets), with Ron Wilson on from 6:00am, and then on until 5:00pm (18 hours coverage), then Simpsons, as far as I remember.

I was watching Sandra's new telecast that night and she reported it after the first aircraft hit, I flicked around and no other channel had any news running at that time, and from memory she went to effectively a uninterrupted live feed immediatly as a result of the second aircraft hitting. I remember watching the towers collapse on that networks live feed which went all night. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 122.148.65.35 (talk) 02:20, 4 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Ralph Magazine

Sandra Sully is one of the most requested women to be in Ralph Magazine. Can anyone cite this --203.208.68.167 12:38, 19 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Ummm, is that REALLY worthy of a mention in any encyclopedia?

She isn't very cute —Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.221.246.22 (talk) 06:09, 15 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Move?

The following is a closed discussion of the proposal. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the proposal was moved. --RegentsPark (talk) 17:51, 22 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Sandra Sully (journalist) → Sandra Sully —

Disambiguation page exists because of the article on Sandra Sully (musician), who doesn't seem notable enough in comparison to justify it. All immediate google hits are for Sandra Sully the journalist. Jevansen (talk) 08:04, 11 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Support per Jevansen. Also note that I have moved the other Sandra Sully to Sandra Sully (songwriter). Propaniac (talk) 19:21, 12 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Brisbane State High School

Rather than edit-warring over whether to include the school that Sully went to, someone at some point might have searched for a source. They may have found this one, for example (p7). --Michig (talk) 13:15, 8 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Exactly. Challenging and removing such non-contentious information under an assertion of WP:BURDEN and a claim that "it might have been made up" is against the spirit of the policy and also against common sense ~ especially when so much actually potential contentious information wasn't also tagged. We can do without such selective and officious use of policies. I did do a search for this information but my search engine didn't come up with anything considered reliable. So thanks for finding and providing it. I am now in need of a strong drink. Afterwriting (talk) 14:13, 8 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

this makes me wonder why you repeatedly added an uncited claim despite you admitting above you could not find a source. Seems like WP:POINT might be the real reason. LibStar (talk)
