Talk:Douglas Carswell

message: This article is so biased. It almost sounds like he wrote it himself!
I'm not sure the purpose of a wikipedia article, is to just list, from a conservative point of view, why everything someone has done has been right................! I read controversial, occasionally bemusing stuff about this guy all the time. None of it's even hinted at in the article.

text: It's obvious it was written by him or one of his underlings. Needs a total overhaul - this individual is actually regarded in a very different light in his own country and virtually none of it is reflected here. 9 (talk) 12:08, 14 October 2013 (UTC)

Carswell defects to UKIP and suddenly a flurry of negative edits appear, a paranoid person might suggest political interference with Wikipedia. Twobells (talk) 10:35, 28 August 2014 (UTC)

thread_title:  Carswells Sudden Defection To UKIP Causes Negative Article Edit Activity 

message: This article reads as plain election promo for an upcoming election. It should be neutralized ASAP. Wikipedia is not a medium for electioneering. The Banner talk 21:33, 4 September 2014 (UTC)

message: Just a reminder that there is always WP:RFPP if there are issues with editors adding uncited / POV material. A request for semi-protection will generally be complied with if there is a problem. Mjroots (talk) 20:46, 10 October 2014 (UTC)
thread_title: Problematic editing

message: This page is rather confusing and seems to need reorganising chronologically to separate out the Tory and UKIP elements of Carswell's parliamentary career. For example, the present subsection on the Clacton by-election in 2014 is followed by further subsections on both the 2010 'Parliamentary expenses scandal' and Carswell's 'Influence in the Conservative Party' which clearly pre-date it (and his views in the 'Political positions' section span both periods). I suggest merging the existing 'Early life and education' section and the opening paragraphs of the 'Life and career' sections into a single 'Early life' section, to allow the 'Member of Parliament' section to be brought up a level. If others are happy for me to do so, I'd be willing to have a go at trying to sort it out - though it will be a few days before I get a chance to get down to it.JezGrove (talk) 23:24, 12 May 2015 (UTC)
thread_title:  Reorganisation of this page? 

message: Section = 109 BLP articles labelled "Climate Change Deniers" all at once. This article was placed in a "climate change deniers" category. After discussion on WP:BLPN and WP:CFD the category was deleted. Peter Gulutzan (talk) 16:14, 20 December 2015 (UTC)
