Lissajous curve logo

In the description it states the logo was used for "...44 years and 28..." - 28 what? Days or weeks? It's difficult to determine from the description what two dates this period is between. 2001:8003:1659:BA00:6C85:34F9:54F2:3272 (talk) 23:02, 29 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Lissajous graphic

There's nothing wrong with the stock picture in use right now, but consider this beauty lashed up by User:Peter Seligman in much the same way Bill Kennard may have done. And it's all-Australian, to illustrate a new article on the historical BWD Electronics. Doug butler (talk) 06:22, 8 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Why is so much of the article devoted to a perceived left wing bias that is solely perpetuated by conservatives?

It's a reasonable thing to examine, but does it really need 1500 words devoted to explaining the exact complaints that most reputable news sources receive? Maybe I'm wrong, but it really, really seems like this section is trying to push a narrative when the word "bias" appears 34 times and the "external critics" are all conservatives, which the article somewhat skirts around, while also noting that many previous journalists are now in politics, which hardly seems worthy of inclusion here, as that belongs in biography pages.

With some imperfect word counts, the criticism of the ABC for liberal bias makes up about 10% of the article. This feels like a case of WP:UNDUE to me TTTime05 (talk) 10:43, 19 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
