    Labour files leak[edit]

    So, why is there nothing on here about the Labour files leak? The smears on Corbyn were shown to be a made-up, co-ordinated attack on him. To be added in due course Apeholder (talk) 10:52, 21 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

    @Apeholder, can you cite references referring to them? -- DeFacto (talk). 13:25, 21 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

    @Burrobert, plenty there for editors to get their teeth into, thanks for all those. -- DeFacto (talk). 21:02, 21 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

    I'm surprised the Labour Files and Forde Report don't have wiki articles yet tbh. ---- G-13114 (talk) 16:14, 21 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

    They are probably not mentioned because they have had little mainstream media attention. I won't question why the media found the allegations noteworthy enough to report in detail but have ignored the leaked documents. You are welcome of course to add information.
    I'm always reticent to include investigative journalism that has not been picked up by other sources, which is why I did not add anything.
    There should be better coverage of the documents in academic writing some time in the future. TFD (talk) 22:03, 21 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    The Four Deuces Since when does the justification for something to be added to WP rely on whether or not the MSM has covered it. Is WP just an echo chamber for what the mainstream are covering? Apeholder (talk) 21:51, 20 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    See Balancing aspects: "An article...should strive to treat each aspect with a weight proportional to its treatment in the body of reliable, published material on the subject." I agree that makes Wikipedia an echo chamber, but that's the intention. TFD (talk) 17:34, 22 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    To avoid doubt, is not the Forde Report considered reliable, published material? Also, was not the leaked Labour Report a media story of some public interest? 95.147.153.125 (talk) 15:43, 21 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    private school[edit]

    The childhood section says JC went to an « independent «  school. This is what conservatives call them. The normal expression, and certainly what Corbyn would say, is « private school » 2A01:CB06:8009:4A76:F0B1:A914:D769:E9FC (talk) 17:32, 17 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

    The distinction is that independent schools are governed by trustees, whlle private schools are governed by owners.[1] TFD (talk) 10:58, 2 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

    Lede[edit]

    It is misleading to claim Corbyn supported remaining in the EU, since he was widely accused of deliberately sabotaging the Remain campaign: Corbyn sabotaged Labour’s remain campaign. He must resign | Phil Wilson | The Guardian Aardi18 (talk) 17:35, 24 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

    Phil Wilson, a Labour politician who wrote in the run up to the 2017 general election: "I am no supporter of Theresa May and I am no supporter of Jeremy Corbyn". Hardly a neutral voice you put forward. All my warmest wishes, ItsKesha (talk) 17:43, 24 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    There was widespread criticism, so much so that Corbyn had to publicly deny he had voted to leave the EU. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Aardi18 (talkcontribs) 18:17, 24 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

    Father[edit]

    Sources come up online for his mother being a maths teacher, and for his father being an engineer (for GEC); nothing seems to come up with relation to his being an expert in power rectifiers. Where did this come from?

    Independent Candidacy[edit]

    I know it’s somewhat ongoing but given how much media attention has been paid, I think we ought to at least try add something on Corbyn’s candidacy (apologies if this message comes off as rude, I’m quite inexperienced so my wikipedia etiquette may be lacking) Oldboad (talk) 09:43, 24 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
