Talk:Mark Lawson

message: Please note that Mark Lawson mentions Wikipedia in his recent article, refering specifically to this recent anon edit. This may warrant further attention. As anon edit did not provide any sources, and Lawson refers to his edit as a mistake, I am reverting him.--Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus Talk 04:06, 24 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: As an aside.... I too saw that article ML wrote mentioning his Wikipedia entry, and it's for that very reason that I went in and put the reference to the Viz cartoon, 'The Artful Podger', just so that he would read it!!!! Celebrities shouldn't let on that they read their Wikipedia articles.... Milvinder 20:56, 16 October 2007 (UTC)

message: In Dec 2003, Lawson wrote a column based on the claim that the turkey President Bush held up in front of photographers during his Thanksgiving 2003 trip to Baghdad was a plastic fake. He was wrong: that was a real turkey.  
This plastic-turkey meme, and Lawson's key role in spreading it, are notorious in some parts of the blogosphere; should we say something about it in the article? (Has Lawson or The Guardian ever issued a retraction?) Cheers, CWC(talk) 04:35, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

message: Apparently Lawson is leaving Front Row because there have been accusations of bullying.  What is being claimed here, that Lawson has been bullied or that he is a bully? 86.166.161.236 (talk) 16:06, 5 March 2014 (UTC)

replies: text:  Bullying is a problem in the BBC Radio Arts Unit as a whole; the unit produces a number of programmes for Radio 3 and 4. Articles on such developments as Lawson leaving Front Row usually provide context and it is unclear if Lawson is involved in the bullying in any way. Remembering Liz MacKean and her untransmitted report on Savile for Newsnight, it can be the innocent and vindicated who have to leave their posts. Like most, I only have the reports of the last few hours to sift for information. Philip Cross (talk) 19:14, 5 March 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: RE WP:BLP you'd want hard sources before adding anything on this, either here or the article. Neither are the place for rumours or gossip. Anna (talk) 20:02, 5 March 2014 (UTC)

text:  I take back what I say above about Mark Lawson. The Telegraph article I have just cited in the article is clearly a reliable source. Whether Lawson has a defence for the claims which have clearly been made against him remains to be seen. Philip Cross (talk) 00:52, 6 March 2014 (UTC)
