Talk:Godfrey Bloom

message: Reads like a D- school essay. Lots of conflicting statements in different paragraphs, e.g. did he threaten someone or allegedly threaten him? Did he resign the whip or was it withdrawn?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.12.18.195 (talk) 18:20, 6 March 2022 (UTC)
thread_title: Dreadfully badly written

message: Bloom's page is being attacked for political gain.  There is more substance to 'women's rights', 'climate change' 'drunk' 'Shultz' but it is edited by political trolls. talk  —Preceding undated comment added 09:17, 30 July 2013 (UTC)

replies: text:  The all too politically engaged leftists barrators that want to make Wikipedia into yet another arena of their endless political bickering and petty quarreling, is intellectually corrupting, and that problem should be taken seriously.--83.108.21.61 (talk) 12:04, 30 November 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Not an attack page.  I looked at this from an neutral point of view and all the sources -except Political scrapbook -are wp:Suggested sources. There is no wp:editorialising as far as I can see.  If someone of his background is ejected from the mansion house, or is drunk in the European parliament, then he will be in the news. If you can find something positive to contribute feel free to add it. JRPG (talk) 15:57, 24 August 2013 (UTC)
thread_title: Attack page?

message: This page just shows what a joke wikipedia has become. I suggest moving it to "criticism of Godfrey Bloom" 202.89.188.44 (talk) 05:34, 28 October 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: While I agree with you, (1) feel free to be WP:BOLD and do it yourself and (2) it's not really a dispute if nobody else is around to actually argue about it.  I'm just removing the random various quotes myself. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 06:52, 22 January 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: Someone doesn't like Godfrey Bloom!

message: I don't think various quotes and controversies qualify as his career and it seems like undue weight to a politician in power for five years.  Plus this looks an awful lot like primary sources of "here is what he said", as opposed to more independent secondary sources.  -- Ricky81682 (talk) 06:55, 22 January 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Removed the "Career" section 

message: Certain material about Godfrey Bloom's wife should not be posted in the article as WP:BLPPRIMARY clearly applies here:
Do not use trial transcripts and other court records, or other public documents, to support assertions about a living person. Do not use public records that include personal details, such as date of birth, home value, traffic citations, vehicle registrations, and home or business addresses.
The article is about Godfrey Bloom, not his wife. Only the barest mention of her life and career is really needed. As it stands, even the [Daily Mail Online] source,about Mrs Bloom being am equine physiotherapist, is far from ideal, because non-RS tabloid sources are not supposed to used unless a more credible reliable source exists. Unless the Bloom's private life has been covered in, for example,The Times (a possible RS, the newspaper's content is difficult to confirm without a subscription), and her already stated career mentioned, strictly speaking, this too should probably be cut too. Philip Cross (talk) 08:33, 23 September 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Seconded, although we can perhaps make an exception to the listed occupations on the copy of their registered marriage certificate, unless challenged. The Guidelines were after all drawn up originally with living American personalities in mind, and American birth, adoption, marriage and death certificates, unlike their British counterparts, although remaining public documents, are often sealed, and not open to public inspections or public orders of copies. Mrs. Bloom's private shareholdings (in a non-listed private family company) should be out regardless of the primary sources rule, any more than we should record the addresses of her private property empire. -- 212.50.182.151 (talk) 11:28, 23 September 2013 (UTC)

With clear similarity between the names of the article subject and of the user,  has fairly undone these edits and added a related post on the users talk page.  
There were a lot of changes attempted here and, before beginning to wade through them, I thought to open things up for other editors thoughts.
