Why does Mick Armstrong link to the History section of this article? Jack Upland (talk) 01:06, 29 August 2023 (UTC)
- Mick is one of the founders and leaders of Socialist Alternative. He still writes for the Red Flag today. -AndreyKva (talk) 01:15, 29 August 2023 (UTC)
- Is that supported with WP:RS? Otherwise just seems like a bit of promotion for Mick's writing. TarnishedPathtalk 01:52, 29 August 2023 (UTC)
- Fair enough. There's not much written online about their founders or leaders, so I don't have any sources for him founding or leading the organization, but he still frequently writes for Socialist Alternative's paper: https://redflag.org.au/author/mick-armstrong
I didn't set up the disambiguation, but I'm pretty sure his affiliation with Red Flag is the reason. I wouldn't argue that it's necessarily a good reason. -AndreyKva (talk) 03:01, 29 August 2023 (UTC)

- @Jack Upland:, there is way too WP:OR in this article and other claims which aren't backed up by citations. I tagged the article other a month ago that it had a problem with citations, so if you see problems then I say you should go ahead and do something about it.

- My point is that Mick isn't mentioned here, so why the link?--Jack Upland (talk) 00:10, 31 August 2023 (UTC)
- Do you mean the link to "From Little Things Big Things Grow". I've removed it. It's a publication by Mick and so belongs on an article on him, if he has one. Otherwise can you be more specific? TarnishedPathtalk 07:00, 31 August 2023 (UTC)
