Adam Creighton (2022-08-07). "User beware: Wikipedia has fallen for groupthink". The Australian. Retrieved 2022-08-07. I was surprised to recently find out that I am – apparently – an "arch neoliberal", and a purveyor of "false comparisons" who has been "flatly contradicted" by scientific research. This is according to Wikipedia, the supposedly neutral, publicly available encyclopaedia that's become one of the most influential websites in the world.

Concern about recent edits and potential NPOV/COI issues

There have been a few edits to Creighton's page today which I don't think can be justified. Given Creighton's defence of his views in today's Australian, I'm concerned that NPOV/COI issues might be at foot.

@KeenanPJ: "For frequently and intelligently questioning the wisdom of government reaction to COVID-19, he has been "cancelled" by the ABC current affairs program "The Drum"

- this isn't NPOV and I've amended it

@172.193.105.154: You removed several phrases that could be perceived as unflattering to Creighton without justification. Please provide further justification or sources

It would be good (and I'll endeavour to find) assessments of Creighton's work that are outside either The Australian or The Guardian's fold, as those are the only sources currently present Noteduck (talk) 02:35, 29 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

In this ABC interview by Jonathan Green, Creighton is identified as an advocate for libertarianism, which he identifies as "classical liberalism." MatthewDalhousie (talk) 06:13, 7 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
