Talk:Ann Cryer

message: So Cryer says in a newspaper article which also says "The bizarre claim – which appears on the Wikipedia website". I think we need to purge extraordinary claims form this article, especially as it causes ridicule of WP in the press. Rwendland (talk) 13:45, 2 April 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Five years later, people continue to edit-war over this titbit of trivia. I removed it, and another user just reverted. I really don't think it belongs in the article: it does not seem particularly significant to Cryer's life or career. It isn't even really about her, it's about Wikipedia; it belongs perhaps on Wikipedia controversies or Reliability of Wikipedia, but not here. Robofish (talk) 21:03, 9 April 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: It has nothing to do with Ann Cryer and says more about the person who put it there. Removed again and sourced edit with some merit reinstated. Perhaps this article needs protecting. J3Mrs (talk) 12:20, 24 February 2016 (UTC)
replies: text:  Well, it's notable as it's been quoted in the press. The text in this 'talk' section is more about the ORIGINAL CLAIM or internet invention than the current text (which is not asserting anything that is untrue -- unlike the original claim) 87.224.72.204 (talk) 10:54, 22 March 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: It's not about Ann Cryer, it's about Wikipedia. J3Mrs (talk) 12:20, 22 March 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: Just to note it was not in WP "Until 2009" undisputed.  First inserted 9 May 2008  and first removed 25 June 2008 . In and out ever since!  Rwendland (talk) 12:32, 22 March 2016 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: A renewed attempt to add controversial information resulting in a continuation of an edit war has begun. Consequently, I have fully protected the article. Once protection has expired, any attempt to re-add the material without abiding by BRD will be dealt with by means of blocking if necessary. There should only be Discussion here from now on regarding this material since the B and R bits of BRD has already happened, more than once. Removal of any re-added material will not be deserving of any action, however.  DDStretch  (talk) 17:05, 10 October 2017 (UTC)
thread_title:  Full Protection 

message: I wonder if "She was selected as the prospective Labour candidate for the Keighley constituency, the seat her husband had held, from an all-women shortlist", should be reworded, as while Bob Cryer had represented Keighley from 1974-1983, has last seat in parliament had been Bradford South (which he held fom 1987 until his death in 1994. Might "the seat her husband had held until 1983" be better? Dunarc (talk) 19:19, 17 June 2021 (UTC)
