replies: text: FWIW I well remember the Today programme thing, as do millions of others, so there must be a reference somewhere. Ben Finn 10:06, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Stop - Add references! 

message: I read today in Private Eye about Dacre's vain attempts to control this entry. I thought it very necessary to mention his over-use of the c-word. I'll get out my old Eye copies later and get some references. Hwyl, --AdamSommerton 13:50, 23 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: It's probably important to mention that the Private Eye article also suggests that Dacre has "tasked a team from the Mail's much respected library with drafting something more impressive to put in its place" - thus there might be some conflict of interest edits soon.

text:  Over a decade later, the link in the above entry is now broken, but the NZ Herald article is a reprint of this article by Tim Adams for the London Observer. Philip Cross (talk) 20:15, 28 November 2017 (UTC)

message: Can we have some referenences for Dacre's rape experience? Supposedly he was raped when he was younger.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.170.26.17 (talk) 19:29, 2 November 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: No evidence for this claim online. Conceivably, through Chinese whispers, it is a confusion with the New Zealand lawyer of this name who was involved in the Pitcairn sexual assault trial of 2004. Philip Cross (talk) 20:45, 2 November 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Dacre's alleged rape experience 

message: UK satirical cartoon show Monkey Dust ran a sketch involving a man in a waiting room, surrounded by framed Daily Mail headlines.  He is called by the secretary, who tells him that 'the editor of the Daily Mail will see you now'.  He is lead to a room occupied by a large desk behind which, on a chair, sits a huge, orange-brown turd. Deserves a mention I feel ;) --81.156.177.239 (talk) 00:50, 9 January 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Such nonsense has no place in an encyclopedic article. Also it is not from a reliable source. Christian1985 (talk) 07:26, 25 June 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm somewhat saddened to agree with Christian1985 about the content of the encyclopedia article. However, it goes without saying that Dacre is indeed a 'huge, orange-brown turd'.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.92.213.180 (talk) 16:53, 9 February 2012 (UTC)

message: User:Sayerslle keeps adding a summary of an entry from this blog which I contend is inadmissible on the grounds that it is synthesis/original research and does not meet the criteria for being a reliable source. Philip Cross (talk) 05:02, 6 October 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree with the above comment. The blog even describes itself as being "known for our tabloid, muckraking style" which hardly fills one with confidence. Atshal (talk) 09:41, 6 October 2013 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: I removed a barb from Guardian columnist Polly Toynbee bashing Dacre for running a middle-class newspaper while enjoying hunting and other aristocratic pursuits. Columnist criticism of lifestyle should not be within a million miles of anyone's personal life section, and this criticism is no different to the junk that his own paper does with this, commenting on the wealth, addresses and possessions of Labour supporters. Gutter journalism. Anarcho-authoritarian (talk) 10:56, 24 September 2017 (UTC)
