Talk:David Cromwell

message: This article reads rather too much like an advert for David Cromwell and Media Lens. Sempronius123 (talk) 16:25, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Advert

message: A 'new user' (Zrdragon12) keeps reverting my edit "an activist and communist' sympathiser" which I substituted for my earlier version "a 'Daily Worker' (now the 'Morning Star') paper seller". The source says Mr Cromwell's dad "sold" the Daily Worker (the name change occurred in 1966), but DC objects to this. I post the following transient post (it will be off-line in a month or so) from the Media Lens Message Board: 
"Another example: a new edit to the Wikipedia entry for David Cromwell: 
'... the son of a Daily Worker (now the Morning Star) paper seller.' 
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Cromwell 
As if that's an occupation?! Why not say 'telephone engineer' or 'geography teacher'? 
Or if we stick to [Philip] Cross's scheme, we could have: 
'... the son of flautist/pennywhistler/former Boys' Brigade/keen hillwalker/....' 
Comical stuff from 'PC'. 
DC [End]"
Comments please. Philip Cross (talk) 14:01, 26 September 2012 (UTC)
thread_title: David Cromwell's father

message: I have considered adding the template recommending WP content be merged into another article, both here and to the David Edwards piece. In this case to Media Lens. When other user’s have added the template elsewhere, the suggestions often remain in place for years without a solution. Mr Crowell and Mr Edwards’ are principally known for the ML  website rather than for the books they have authored separately. I chose not to add the template, partly for the reason already stated, but in addition because his and Mr Edwards’ biographical details are of some interest, and would unnecessarily clutter the opening of the ML article if included there. The comments by John Pilger and Oliver Kamm about his writings help establish Mr Cromwell’s ‘notability’ as distinct from that of Media Lens.
Oliver Kamm’s criticism of Media Lens itself does not belong here, but some of the material deleted by ‘new‘ user Zrdragon12, are comments about Mr Cromwell himself and, although it is material which appeared IIRC as an ML ‘alert’, it should remain in the article.

replies: text: Notability now established.The article is no longer dependent "on references to primary sources or sources affiliated with the subject", and for this reason I have removed the primary sources template. Philip Cross (talk) 15:59, 21 December 2012 (UTC)

replies: text: hey guys ! I've never edited a Wikipedia article so I don't really know what to do but Cromwell has written more than two books with Edwards; they wrote one in 2018 called Propaganda Blitz, published by Pluto Press. 146.176.182.40 (talk) 09:58, 28 March 2024 (UTC)
