Please be aware of wp:RSBLP as well as wp:RS and wp:V. Is Neroskeptic qualified to make this assessment, is it considered a blog? WP:BLPSPS?

May I recommend using {{cite web}} to format a citation? It is best to include more information about a source. Cite web will allow entry of a number of parameters including its source. Edit this to see this citation. Please add this to your citation on the Dutton article? template:reflist talk Cheers Adakiko (talk) 23:29, 2 May 2021 (UTC)

University of Tasmania

I noticed that you added Bill Mollison to University of Tasmania#Notable people. If you want Mollison's entry there, you probably should make his bio brief and add his image with the others in the section. It looks rather strange and out-of-place at this moment.

Maybe check out wp:MOS? Adakiko (talk) 11:00, 3 May 2021 (UTC)

As opposed to the Indian guy's bio which is in the same spot, roughly the same size, that no one has any problem with? I tried to add a photo as per the others, but my account does not yet have the ability to post images, as it is still young. Perhaps someone else can do it, if they care about adding notable people from the uni with actual significant intellectual accomplishments that have changed the world in a remarkable way (the kind of people universities used to be about: geniuses, not politicians and movie stars).

I agree with your sentiments on who is notible. Personally, I'd dump most of the "musicians", politicians, nobility, and poor little rich kids. Make having any significant discoveries or development make one notable.
You should have been able to edit the article and add the image from Bill Mollison which I did. I edited the caption to keep it down to four lines. Please feel free to change; but please keep it breif. If you have ownership of an image you wish to release or know of a free image, you should be able to upload it to commons: by now. You will need to be logged in. Wikimedia is a stickler about copyright. I think they have bots that do online image searches. That existing image of Mollison probably could use a contrast and brightness tweak.
