Content re: Bogut's support of conspiracy theories
The reason for the latest lock was edit warring over sourced content;
DaHuzyBru deleted the content last
[1]. The rationale doesn't hold--there was clearly not a consensus to remove the content, and the accounts removing it were all new
WP:SPAs, not a discernible 'community.' If SF Gate isn't deemed enough of a source by itself, it's not hard to find
WP:RELIABLE sources. For Pizzagate,
[2]. For vaccine rant,
[3]. It may well be debated whether the content belongs here as
WP:NOTNEWS, and I welcome others to weigh in. It also appears that his views are more nuanced than the headlines suggest. But if we're deleting it, let's do so with a real rationale, and with consensus. Thanks,

Thanks for starting this discussion.
WP:ONUS seems applicable here: ... not all verifiable information needs to be included in an article. Consensus may determine that certain information does not improve an article, and that it should be omitted or presented instead in a different article. It seems we're now in the discuss phase of
WP:BRD.—

Bagumba I discussed the edit with the long time editor who deleted it last. He has no problem with me undoing his revert. The 11-minute video Bogut posted to his Instagram account in which he said he and unnamed others had been offered money by unnamed persons to support the Aussie lockdown remains posted
https://www.instagram.com/tv/CS00F6nnygH/ There was considerable press coverage for his tweeted support of the
Pizzagate conspiracy theory in November and December 2016. There's nothing wrong with the
SF Gate as a source as it's the leading such news source in the San Francisco Bay Area, associated with a newspaper that's been around for maybe 120 years. The story has a number of hyperlinks to other RSS within it.

Activist reached out via email. I noted that if he wanted to revert me, then I essentially won't be fighting any further over content I don't have much passion for. Consensus should probably be reached here though, but I doubt many will chime in.

@
Bagumba There were four (?) IP editors who reverted, plus (?) one SPA who reverted three times in one day, the only edits that User has ever made. I wrote directly to the remaining User, DaHazyBru because I've seen his edits for years, knew him to be extremely knowledgeable and never had any problems with any editing he's ever done. Had he noted a specific problem with my edit, I would have certainly given his objection due respect. I've been editing for 15 years and have never written to any editor about an edit with which I disagreed, but wanted to avoid an edit war with what may have been a single SPA who moved from a MacDonald's to a Dairy Queen to a Burger King to make his or her IP reverts. When I restored and modified my original edit, I modified it slightly after having watched the 11-minute Instagram video posted by Bogut himself, and also added a new citation that was a contemporary one from the Pizzagate issue five years ago, rather than depend solely on the SF Gate citation hyperlinks. Bogut's comments were made in a context where hundreds of domestic anti-vaxxers, anti-maskers and lockdown protesters had been arrested in Australian demonstrations.

@
Bagumba Hi I am new to the editing, I will have to study how to do it more comprehensively but my main reason for editing the Bogut page was that I think calling him a conspiracy theorist is a bit far, I understand the pizzagate part is certainly a conspiracy but the parts about Australia to be honest are pretty well founded, there is no doubt lockdowns here have disproportionately affected the poor. [1][2][3] there is extreme frustation here [4] the foodbank was closed to the poor because it was overwhelmed [5] our politicians in Victoria have recieved extreme pay rises while many are going poor [6][7] playgrounds were closed to children [8] the claim about celebrities getting paid is not completely unfounded, collingwood captain scott pendlebury gave a thumbs up on the post and many celebrities have been on ads, instagram etc. promoting to stay at home etc [9] while many of those telling us to stay home fly in and out as they please [10] cases are increasing despite these harsh lockdowns even with the vaccine rollout [11] even our prime minister flew for fathers day while many cannot see their families [12] if anything Andrew Bogut is a hero for speaking out certainly not a conspiracy theorist.

I can certainly add more sources to back these points up. Currently, my main issue particularly is this part "In 2021, via his Instagram account, he further claimed that the Australian government's lockdowns, prompted by a rapid rise in COVID-19 infections were a scheme disproportionately experienced by the working class.[62]As contagion rose, " the rest of the section I suppose I could live with being labelled conspiracy although questionable and i mean currently the main source of this "new edit" is from SF gate i mean, a San francisco newspaper is not reliable for an Australian problem, Bogut also states "So we should let it rip? No we shouldn't let it rip, but we also shouldn't be locking down the way we are, I think there's a middle ground." it is no conspiracy to suggest that Australia/Victoria has botched the handling of this - thoughts? - Cheers

The reason for my revert was that it removed sourced content and to support this cited in the edit summary an item in The Guardian which is actually an opinion piece and therefore not something we place any reliance on - it's just someone else's opinion. Personally I'd not have any objection to this section saying that while some people criticised him, others supported his stance - provided both statements were backed up by citations to
reliable sources, of course. If that were the case, that would probably justify changing the section name too.

Of course, i can certaintly agree to that
Neiltonks, I was just new to this and was just trying to level the argument quickly and was underprepared is all haha but here are more [13][14] this report here from the Public Accounts and Estimates Committee states "the pandemic continues to have an unprecedented impact on all Victorians, some groups have been disproportionately affected by the COVID-19 pandemic including: the homeless, people with a low socio-economic background, insecure workers, Aboriginal Victorians, those who are culturally and linguistically diverse, women and young people." [15] so that claim is substantial, I could gather more sources for this if needed but hopefully the above suffice. As for the calling out celebrities I can see this may be a controversial opinion but does that mean a conspiracy theory? i thought that usually concerned something secret and illegal and there is heaps of advertisements and stuff of celebs promoting public health advice in our media, i am not saying it is wrong but as i linked in above articles on this point ^^ our celebrities are moving with a lot more agency here. and here are some articles about celebrity endorsement [16][17] Guy Sebastian recently got in hot water here for backing away from promoting this stuff but as he said and 50/50 here would agree "it is not there place" [18] this does not classify as conspiracy to be angry about people who are skipping quarantine [19] and moving with more freedom [20] than your average joe but perhaps you guys may have a different opinion on this point though? (but the rest i feel definitely has sufficient evidence) Cheers

My advice is to limit the use of sources that don't mention Bogut specifically. Otherwise, there's a risk of turning his bio into a
coatrack for a wide range of politics.—
