[edit] Sources

Are there any sources for this?

He has said that he wanted to join the National Front from the age of 14, and is believed to have associated with skinhead gangs during the 1980s. He is a qualified social worker, and worked in Christchurch from 1993-97, with funding from the Christchurch city council and the city's crime prevention unit, dealing with youth involved in street subculture. He also served as the youth worker representative on the Saffer Community Council in Christchurch from 1996-97. He currently works in Christchurch night clubs as a doorman.

Don't have time to source all of it right now, but the first part (which I wrote) I believe is in the interview linked from NZNF porges 11:37, May 19, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Photo

Image:KyleChapman.jpg has been claimed as copyrighted by the slightly increasingly noted professional news photographer, Cameron Burnell. It does not depict a unique and unreproducable historic event. Nor are we using it to comment criticly on the photograph itself (Why is it so purple anyway?). It's an original-sized portrait (aka snapshot) and I can't see the fair use exemption being applicable in this case. [This page seems like a better place to discuss the matter than the image talk page.] Other thoughts? -Willmcw July 4, 2005 08:06 (UTC)

The photo was on an indynews page and marked as PD, where I got it from. I haven't edited the wiki for a while so didn't notice its disappearance... porges 08:51, July 17, 2005 (UTC)
After further discussion it appeared that the claimant was indeed Burnell, that it was his photo, and that he genuinely wished it not be listed as PD. Since there was no legitimate fair use claim we deleted it. -Willmcw 10:12, July 17, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] POV

After having reviewed this article for a second time I've decided to flag it for POV. Obviously some bias has crept in especially regarding apparent harassment Kyle has received. Perhaps some sources would be good here. I would be happy to help rewrite the article. Bactoid (talk) 05:58, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

The article was "stubbed" last year due to a complaint, presumably from the subject. We shouldn't restore that information without good sources. That version had a couple of sources, but they may have gond dead.[1] Proquest has about 50 articles that either mention him or are about him. ·:· Will Beback ·:· 07:10, 3 December 2007 (UTC)
