Working Group on Syria, Propaganda and Media (SPM)

Please read my comments at Talk:Piers Robinson#Working Group on Syria, Propaganda and Media (SPM) which have a bearing on the development of this article. Philip Cross (talk) 16:46, 3 May 2018 (UTC)

I just left this comment on the BLP Noticeboard. Not sure if it belongs here or there: The material removed by Nomoskedasticity seems to me all reliably sourced - the Times, Snopes, OpenDemocracy. Maybe HuffPo is weaker but all the rest seems fine. All views are attributed. Wouldn't it have been better to remove it bit by bit giving an edit summary explaining the removal, rather than blanket revert? BobFromBrockley (talk) 22:30, 11 May 2018 (UTC)

It is fundamentally unencyclopedic to have an article on a person that is not a biography at all but rather a mishmash of "they alleged" and "he rebutted". Having good sources is a minimum; it is by no means sufficient justification. Nomoskedasticity (talk) 12:40, 12 May 2018 (UTC)

Agreed. I tried to emend the article, and I happen to be reasonably fluent in English, but "cutting" stuff sometimes leave wrong strands of fabric. I am sorry that you were upset, of course. Is there a reason for making the fixed "red link" back into a red link? Collect (talk) 19:21, 12 May 2018 (UTC)
