Talk:Edward McMillan-Scott

message: I have protected this article for the time being as there appears to be some dispute over the contents of the article and some edit warring. There has been several reverts with claims of POV in the edit summaries yet there has been no discussion on the talk page over the problem. Please discuss the changes required to the article here and when a consensus has been reached then let me know and I will unprotect the page. Thanks. Keith D (talk) 13:13, 29 July 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks for the protection but I think this is a bit of a cock-up. The current version is, frankly, rubbish. Surely this, for example, "The following day, the reference to Kaminski's membership of NOP after 1989 was removed from his Wikipedia page" has no place in an article? In addition, whole sections of important information have been repeatedly twisted by anon IP vandals and then, finally, removed. I suggest an admin looks through the old versions and finds a suitable one and restores that. And then locks the page. Setwisohi (talk) 17:56, 29 July 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I think the reference to Cameron's new Polish allies being "extremists" would be OK if it is clear that that is McMillan-Scott's personal opinion and if this were supported by a quotation from him saying so in the media. This dispute in the Conservative Party is one the party leadership no doubts wants to play down, but it is surely a "notable" dispute in Wikipedia terms, and needs to be covered fairly.

text: Thanks for that. Have had a look. It looks fine to me. I have suggested one important altertation on that talk page. Setwisohi (talk) 09:29, 3 August 2009 (UTC)

message: The changing of the wording of quotes from sources is not allowed, the removal of words to suit is against WP:QUOTE. You have to faithfully reproduce what it in the source. Add a sentence following this indicating that he apologised for the use of the word if you must. Keith D (talk) 16:08, 13 May 2014 (UTC)

please read about the policy for photograph captions: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style/Captions#Clear_identification_of_the_subject
you have repeatedly reverted a lot of captions, presumably because they contain words that you do not agree with.
please note that photo captions on pages do not need to be identical with photo captions in the original upload. sometimes the original upload has no caption. in addition, the caption you keep restoring is actually grammatically incorrect. 
note in particular the sections there about context, relevance, and clear identification of the subject. also, take a look at, say, new york times captions. they include a rough date (at least year, typically) and they state where an activity took place. if you don't want another picture of him when he's not talking about organ harvesting, go find one and we can note that he was talking about saving the wildlife or whatever it happens to be.Happy  monsoon day  05:09, 16 November 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: The photographer himself describes the image as 'Ethan Gutmann Foreign Press Association Press Conference 28th April 2009'. If you don't have a source that says "Ethan Gutmann testifies on organ harvesting in China" in that image, you cannot say so by guessing. STSC (talk) 07:12, 16 November 2015 (UTC)
