message: The statement, "During his 14-year association with the North Shore News, Collins, who was also a naturalized Canadian who had come to Canada as an immigrant, wrote regular columns against immigration and ethnic minorities in Canada.” (emphasis added) bespeaks an unmistakeable intrusion of writerly bias into the article.  It’s basically an attempt to call Collins a hypocrite. That is not the purpose of an encyclopedia,  Moreover, Collins' immigrant status is explicitly stated  two paragraphs above. Hence any hypocrisy entailed in Collins’ stance is an inference which the reader is free to draw for himself. Therefore, in the interests of professionalism, either a quote from some other source assailing Collins’ apparent inconsistency and racism should be added or the offending clause should be removed.

replies: text:  There is also nothing "hypocritical" with an immigrant, being opposed to further immigration. Not all immigration is the same. --105.12.1.67 (talk) 12:33, 24 February 2018 (UTC)
thread_title:  Sore Thumb Tendentiousness  

message: The article currently says this:
:The exact nature of his exploits while a POW have not been without controversy, however, with some questioning the veracity of his numerous escapes from Nazi-controlled prisons.[4]
First, the linked reference (https://web.archive.org/web/20170723044415/http://www.canada.com/northshorenews/issue/w051297/let-9.html) is a Wayback archive of a 404 page. I'm not sure if the original article can be found anywhere if Wayback missed it, but surely other sources reported on the controversy.
But even if the link did work, I think this page needs to say more, or at least say it in a less weasley way. As written, it could refer to a well-substantiated accusation by an organization of war historians claiming that his memoir was mostly fabricated, or it could refer to a cranky letter by an angry neighbor who said he was exaggerating a bit. Look at the way his other controversies are covered on the same page—just as concisely, but a lot more clearly. (Of course that is easier for controversies that went to court…)
Also, there's a minor grammar error: the exact nature _has_, not _have_. --157.131.246.136 (talk) 20:37, 17 June 2019 (UTC)
