This article is being repeatedly reverted by User:Itwasagoodyear. The user is trying to keep the article free of information on the artist's political acts, which are sourced and notable. Wikipedia is a not a place for carefully groomed biographies; one cannot expect reliable information to be excluded simply because it might be distasteful to the subject of the author or his biographers. Please do not remove this information without stating defensible justification. Avram ( talk) 17:10, 22 September 2008 (UTC)
I have re-added the surname McAvoy, sourced from the ABC news story, and added brackets around Burragubba to highlight this as the name by which the article subject identifies himself (similar to someone being William (Bill) Smith).
We don't appear to have a naming convention for indigenous Australian names. Some articles include a traditional name with the European version in brackets (eg. Lowitja O'Donoghue), others use a customary name with the traditional name following i plain type (eg. Ernie Dingo). It's hard to determine in this case because Burragubba is extensively quoted as Mr McAvoy in the article but goes only by Burragubba in the school reference.
Any alternative views on the use of the surname are welcome. Also any views on whether we need an indigenous naming convention to standardise this across articles. Euryalus ( talk) 22:17, 22 September 2008 (UTC)
For your information: The name "McAvoy" was given to my grandfather by the station owner who "owned his father". This is NOT my European name, as I am NOT European. This name has been legally changed and has not been used since 2004. Also the hunger strike was not for stolen wages, but for the recognition of Aboriginal culture in Brisbane. If you would like to discuss me, please email me and get the truth. adrian@burragubba.com . Burragubba Itwasagoodyear ( talk) 03:05, 23 September 2008 (UTC)
Thanks for that Euryalus. I do not personally edit any details, it is up to my manager, as I do not read and cannot use the internet to this extent. I do appreciate your respect. 121.208.193.84 ( talk) 05:13, 23 September 2008 (UTC)
I found the following mention but but no US reports. Paul foord ( talk) 12:17, 23 September 2008 (UTC)
