:If I'd wanted to hide the fact I work with Fiona I wouldn't have used my real name,  CPMcE. --SimonLevey 12:58, 23 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Fine, I wasn't suggesting you were trying to hide that fact, though neither did you disclose it. It's just that when someone who works with the subject of an article removes information which may be critical of the person, it seems natural that one would want to investigate. I have no particular axe to grind on the subject of Ms. Fox, and merely created the original stub as I saw her mentioned in various other articles. I offer no opinion on GMWatch, though I believe that even "very minority" views deserve to be aired.Camillus (talk) 14:50, 23 November 2006 (UTC)

text: I think we should be keen to keep it to a minimum, especially as this is a very minority opinion portrayed on the external site. --SimonLevey 12:58, 23 November 2006 (UTC)

text: Well, I would contend that it was at the bare minimum, only a link. Who decides what constitutes "minority view", and don't "minority views" have the right to be aired anyway? Camillus (talk) 14:50, 23 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  And I refer you to the articles on  libel and  reliable sources. --SimonLevey 16:48, 23 November 2006 (UTC)

text: Not particularly, the issue is a very old one, in which Fiona is no longer involved. It was written as part of a much larger debate on a controversial issue of the time (not represented here) and is not relevant in the grand scheme of her biog entry. --SimonLevey 12:58, 23 November 2006 (UTC)

text: It's not even relevant that Ms. Fox was a former supporter of Living Marxism/the Revolutionary Communist Party? Who decides? Camillus (talk) 14:50, 23 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Only as relevant as to whether she's a former teen-Rod Stewart fan or not.--SimonLevey 16:48, 23 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: How utterly ridiculous, Simon. Fiona Fox wrote many articles for LM magazine, some of which created a lot of controversy in the newspapers such as the Guardian, and amongst agencies dealing in Rwanda etc. I'm afraid this disgracefully flippant comment has now disqualified in you in my eyes as someone who can be trusted to see that an objective view can be assured in this article. I will be re-adding some relevant data regarding Ms. Fox's 7-year relationship with Living Marxism and the RCP, and will seek a Request for Comment if you continue to censor this article of information inconvenient to your boss.

message: Does anyone know why Fiona and her sister Claire changed their name form Foster to Fox? Camillus (talk) 12:00, 23 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I believe Foster was a pseudonym for publishing, not stricltly a name change. SimonLevey 13:10, 23 November 2006 (UTC)

I disagree with this, since she is a notable participant in Science debates in the UK at this time.Slowjoe17 (talk) 13:08, 3 July 2010 (UTC)
