I see that the article is still seminal so this may explain it. I see various page references but no source. I recommend adding a sources section with the book using {{
cite book}} with the |last=
, |year=
and |ref=harv
parameters set, then to replace those page references by {{
sfn}} instances (example: {{
sfn|last|year|p=pagenumber}}
).
Animation is an article example using this referencing style. Happy editing, —

I'm not going to add any of these to article as maybe already considered and discounted. In Down Under (book) travel writer Bill Bryson was rather bemused about us 'losing' our prime minister. Bryson called it "Swim that needs no towel", see here. Normie Rowe article says he has played Holt three times, because he looks like Holt and as Holt singing, This year's a sci-fi!. The Prime Minister is Missing Looks licensed, can use for ext link? Ditto funeral clip British Pathé. JennyOz ( talk) 12:12, 9 November 2017 (UTC)
François Robere ( talk · contribs) wants to offer a third opinion. To assist with the process, editors are requested to summarize the dispute in a short sentence below.
The photo demonstrates Holt's place in Australian culture better than any other freely available image. Have a look on social media; 90% of the reaction to all the news stories about the 50th anniversary is people making jokes about inviting Turnbull or Trump for a swim. Your characterisation of the photo as "anarchist agitprop" is bizarre and I doubt any readers would view it as such. All photos are "primary sources", there's no requirement on Wikipedia for a photo to be discussed by a reliable source before it can be used in the article. I fail to see how a poor-quality photo of a random modernist building (that doesn't even look like a pool or make any reference to Holt) is somehow a better illustration of Holt's place in Australian culture.

Comment If the rando who made the sign had made a Facebook status instead, would it be due weight and encyclopedic to include a screenshot of it? No, that would be absurd. This banner is the equivalent of an anonymous piece of social media. (And it is anarchist agitprop - there’s an anarchist symbol on it!)
There’s a place on wikipedia for user-created photos - someone’s earlobe in earlobe, a roast chicken in roast chicken. But these are very, very concretely related to some material that is discussed in the article body. NPalgan2 ( talk) 05:27, 20 December 2017 (UTC)

I have again included this infobox in the article (for the second time). Infoboxes are a quick and convenient summary of the key facts about any subject, in a consistent format and layout to all articles across Wikipedia; especially events such as the purpose of this article. It also helps users to quickly identify that they are on the correct/intended article. Excellent examples of an Info boxes application are: Assassination of John F. Kennedy, September 11 attacks etc. Романов ( talk) 11:13, 16 January 2018 (UTC)
I've mentioned quite often that the memorial service beginning LBJ's round the world trip, but it's been removed. But we need to know how historic his presence at the service was, as it inaugurated the first ever round-the-world trip by a president of the United States. -- SnoopyAndCharlieBrown202070 (talk) 23:38 23 October 2022 (UTC)
