Talk:Morning Star (British newspaper)

message: In this edit an anonymous IP user has substituted "an temporary ceasefire truce", on the basis that the former is a "biased term". But the replacement is at best misleading because the Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact led to Stalin being able to occupy the Baltic states and other parts of Northern and Eastern Europe before Germany invaded the USSR in 1941. I have reverted this change. Philip Cross (talk) 09:09, 16 April 2013 (UTC)

message: Per this discussion, where I mentioned that tabloid (newspaper format) is not the same thing as tabloid journalism, an editor watching this article might want to change the lead. Looking at the edit history, I see two editors who look like they watch this article -- Philip Cross and Helper201. There being watchers is the only reason I queried the matter here on the talk page instead of changing the lead myself. Flyer22 Reborn (talk) 22:59, 25 January 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: Hi, Flyer22 Reborn. Could you please clarify what you think the lead should be changed to? The link in the introduction currently redirects to this being a tabloid format newspaper, not tabloid journalism. Are you suggesting that you think it should be changed to tabloid journalism, or are you suggesting it should be clarified to read along the lines of "a tabloid format newspaper" for the sake of clarity?

replies: text: I didn't see this comment by you until a few minutes ago. Because "tabloid newspaper" is often taken to mean "tabloid journalism" to people, as seen by WP:Reliable sources noticeboard and  WP:BLP noticeboard discussions, and given that this paper doesn't appear to engage in tabloid journalism, I think that either "tabloid" should be removed from the lead, like I did with this edit, or the lead should state "published in tabloid format" or "a tabloid format newspaper." But, really, it's best not to have "tabloid" in the lead at all. Even when "tabloid format" is stated, it's loss on a lot of editors and readers that we don't mean tabloid journalism (although, obviously, a number of papers that publish in tabloid format engage in tabloid journalism).

message: @Llewee, why have you re-added a second "Further reading" section?  The article surely only needs one!  Also, Platt (2005) and Coughlan (2005) are both used as sources in the article, so they don't need to be in the "Further reading" section, per MOS:FURTHER.  If you feel they need highlighting I would suggest changing all the references to them to shortened footnotes and having a bibliography section after the references.
