Talk:Caroline Cox, Baroness Cox

message: The statement in the lede that she's the current president of the Board of Trustees appears to be incorrect - see their latest annual report, downloadable from here, which lists her only as the 'Patron' of the charity. Scog (talk) 19:34, 18 February 2009 (UTC)

I think that for the duration of the dispute, this article would benefit from the  template at the top.  This may seem redundant to the protected template, but I think it adds value.  Comments?  davidwr/(talk)/(contribs)/(e-mail) 20:12, 18 February 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Recommend addition of disputed template 

message: * The webpage of the Medical Aid for Poland Fund confirms that she's one of their patrons.
* The annual reports of MERLIN (Medical Emergency Relief International) confirm that she used to be a trustee: see . However, she appears to have resigned this position in 2005, and I have found no indication that she is currently a trustee. 
* The website of the Andrei Sakarov Foundation  lists her as a member of the Board of Advisors - it's unclear to me whether this is the same as being a non-executive director (the claim previously made in the article).
* If vice-president of the RCN is the same position as deputy president (unclear), then the RCN website confirms that she doesn't hold the position: the current deputy president is Bobbie Chadwick.
Although there are many more disputed claims, I don't have the time or the energy to look into any more right now. Scog (talk) 20:31, 18 February 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Addendum to the above: the claim that she's Chief Executive of HART is verifiable here. However, I haven't yet been able to verify the disputed claims that she's a member of the Standing Conference on Women's Organisations, and a vice-president of the Girl Guides Association.

thread_title:  Regarding some of the disputed content 

message: Where it says that Cox was expelled by Howard from the party, it should say either that she had the whip withdrawn or was expelled from the parliamentary party. Members of either house expelled from the parliamentary party do not necessarily automatically leave the party as a whole, they're just no longer considered part of the party's group/caucus in parliament.

message: Can someone confirm that her full name includes her maiden name of 'Love'? It is the normal custom in the USA for married women taking their husband's surname to have it in addition to their maiden name, but it is rare in the United Kingdom.

replies: text:  Thank you, that's helpful. I did some digging, though, and according to this page, the role of the World Committee on Disability is to give advice on the recipient of the award rather than to decide who gets it. With so many members on the World Committee on Disability, was Baroness Cox personally involved? Sam Blacketer (talk) 19:00, 28 February 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Distilling the problem 

message: * Should the lede state that "She has campaigned for humanitarian causes, particularly relating to disability", and what are the sources?
** SB comment: The lede is supposed to be a summary of the article. If the subject has campaigned on disability issues then there ought to be more information out there about it which can be put in and sourced.
* Should the paragraph here be added?
** SB comment: The source is good for her connection to the World Committee on Disability; I presume sources can be found for the Roosevelt Award. It looks worth mentioning and does help prove disability campaigning.

thread_title:  Disability campaigning 

message: Baroness Cox is the Vice Chairman of the All Party Parliamentary Group on North Korea. She said the the new Obama administration brings with it a golden opportunity for a formal cessation of hostilities and normalisation of relations with North Korea on her recent visit to North Korea.  This is clearly major news concerning her parliamentary careers and the other stuff mentioned about her is clearly minor by comparison.  A section on a book written by someone else with not working citations is not of the same calibre.  See this site: http://www.ekklesia.co.uk/node/8583 Justif2 (talk) 04:31, 28 February 2009 (UTC)

message: * Please note that Geert Wilders was finally allowed into England and the postponed showing of his film, "Fitna", took place on the morning of the 5th. March, 2010, at the House of Lords.  Baroness Cox and Lord Pearson attended the meeting.  Geert Wilders explained that he did not have issues with individual Muslims but with the Koran, which promotes violence against non-Muslims and the take-over of the rest of the world, including Europe and the U.S.A.  Geert Wilders is currently facing charges in the Netherlands of a political nature (15 of his 18 expert witnesses have been refused the right to give evidence to the court) while his Freedom Party has recently come first and second in local elections in two large cities of the Netherlands.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Sawley (talk • contribs) 14:12, 5 March 2010 (UTC)

message: A quote assuming Cox is an Armenian 'nationalist' is obviously a BLP violation. Also no any importance for this quote, so it should be removed. Andranikpasha (talk) 05:44, 15 June 2010 (UTC)

message: Baroness Cox is described in the article as a professor, but I couldn't see an institution or a supporting reference.  Is anyone able to fill this in, please?

thread_title:  Source for professor title? 

message: I am concerned that this page is losing its neutral tone, especially in relation to sensitive subjects as 'Christian Zionism' and the complex situation in Sudan.
I have tried to make some uncontroversial factual changes (such as dates) but they have been rejected.
Also, should Baroness Cox's work with HART be placed a little higher? HART is her most-prominent association alongside being a member of the House of Lords.
Can edits be made on my behalf?
Any advice, gratefully received.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Srj.mason (talk • contribs) 12:57, 11 October 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: Consider posting your proposed text here on the talk page. That will give other people a chance to comment on it. You recently made some edits that might have been too sweeping, in that you removed references as well as text. 'Lack of impartial tone' may be corrected by rewriting. Negative opinions about Caroline Cox may, if the source is reliable, sometimes be included by qualifying it as the source's opinion. Consensus is needed to ensure that such material is important enough to include. Note that http://barthsnotes.wordpress.com is a personal blog and probably can't be used as a source in a BLP article per WP:BLPSPS. EdJohnston (talk) 17:44, 3 November 2016 (UTC)

message: Does anyone understand why this is still being used as a reference: http://barthsnotes.com/2007/08/29/jerusalem-summit-sponsor-accuses-critical-journalist-of-faking-gun-attack/
This barthsnotes.com is hosted on Wordpess, and it seems to be a personal blog by Richard Bartholomew.  It seems to be included here to cast doubt on one member of the Jerusalem Summit, Michael Cherney. The blog reference does not mention Caroline Cox. Since it's not from a WP:Reliable source and it's not about the woman who is the subject of the article I suggest it be removed. EdJohnston (talk) 05:20, 4 November 2016 (UTC)
