Criticisms

There should most certainly be a section on criticisms about the event. This is a major event and possibly one of the biggest australian protests of the year. If you remove the section as opposed to simply editing it please some admin out there replace it. The added section is very important and given the magnitude of APEC as one of the biggest political events of the decade it deserves a section criticising it. 60.241.213.129 04:55, 22 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I second that, but even more importantly I think, this article reads like an advertisement. How about some neutrality and better use of tense? 60.242.154.34 09:38, 29 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The criticism section reads like something straight out of Green Left Weekly, ie: bollocks. 66.95.7.232 02:28, 30 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yeh. I agree. --DandanxD 14:05, 30 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Added some criticism from a more centrist view; ie, that it's a massive waste of money and hugely intrusive, in peoples lives and the local economy, for what is essentially just a luxury photo op. Hope that helps :). 203.59.80.62 14:24, 31 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Changed contents in the infobox- The Korean Head of State is not the Prime Minister but the President. --DandanxD 13:56, 30 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Despite that change, be aware that 'heads of government', not necessarily 'heads of state' will be attending. For example, New Zealand will be represented by a Prime Minister who is head of government, not by a Governor-General who is the head of state. Ajayvius 00:22, 4 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

kill the photos

Exactly what value are photographs of a loudspeaker, George Bush's car or the skyline of Perth? How do they serve this article? We are probably going to need no more than two or three pics to give enough information - say the Sydney skyline, the photo ops and maybe a protest photo if it is noteworthy.

I agree. They make the article look like a photo essay. Many of photos are interesting though, though I'm not sure where they belong. --Nick Dowling 23:58, 4 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I've removed the generic photos of APEC-related places and aircraft but have left the photos of the security arrangements in Sydney as these seem relevant. --Nick Dowling 00:38, 5 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Rocket launchers

Should this be mentioned: http://www.abc.net.au/lateline/content/2007/s2021342.htm ? 58.7.122.24 06:49, 3 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Although you have proof that nine rocket launchers have been stolen; you have no proof what the use of the rocket launchers are. theOne 09:08, 6 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
