Greatness RfC that may affect this article

Just a note to let editors know that there is an ongoing RfC about the term "greatest of all time" (especially in the lead). The discussion ongoing at Talk:Rod Laver. Either way you bend it could affect this article. Join in if you wish. Fyunck(click) (talk) 23:50, 7 March 2018 (UTC)

Refs in lead section

A featured article shouldn't have citations in the lead should it?★Trekker (talk) 23:24, 6 April 2018 (UTC)

This is still an issue. Mr. Bradman is the Google person on the day, I think this should be able to be fixed.★Trekker (talk) 07:23, 27 August 2018 (UTC)

In the lead, please change "More than 50 years after his retirement as a Test player, in 2001, Prime Minister John Howard of Australia called him the 'greatest living Australian'" to "In the 1990s, almost 50 years after his retirement as a Test player, Prime Minister John Howard of Australia called him the 'greatest living Australian'". The cited source says that this happened in the 1990s. 2001:BB6:4708:9258:D161:3D99:37A9:C6DF (talk) 09:06, 27 August 2018 (UTC)

Introduction states: "More than 50 years after his retirement as a Test player, in 2001, Prime Minister John Howard of Australia called him the "greatest living Australian".[8] "

Transcript here - http://pmtranscripts.pmc.gov.au/release/transcript-10216 - shows this tribute was in fact paid in 1997. Suggest changed to:

"Almost 50 years after his retirement as a Test player, in 1997, Prime Minister John Howard of Australia called him the "greatest living Australian".[1] " Largerse (talk) 09:39, 27 August 2018 (UTC)

 Done - thanks for providing a reference, without which I could not have made the change - Arjayay (talk) 14:52, 27 August 2018 (UTC)

REMOVE "while John Howard, former Prime Minister of Australia, was called "the Don Bradman of politics" by his Liberal Party colleague Joe Hockey.[255]"

The quote from Joe Hockey comparing John Howard has no merit and questionable relevance to this page, being merely an example of a supplicant of little achievement seeking favour with a past leader of his political party. Unlike the Steve Waugh quote, where as acknowledged great pays a compliment to a worthy adversary. 90.240.31.166 (talk) 16:59, 27 August 2018 (UTC)
