This page is bias

I don’t believe the information on this page and seems to have been written by the author themselves El dude brother2 (talk) 22:31, 7 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Excuse me but could you clarify what issue with neutrality you have? It's well sourced. And no, I'm not Charles Thomson.--Nb44154 (talk) 12:42, 22 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Investigative Journalist

One user Jude1313 is now unduly edit warring. Charles Thomson is an investigative journalist. Israell (talk) 17:13, 25 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Investigative Journalist is false information

One user talk is now unduly edit warring. Charles Thomson is an NOT an investigative journalist. Charles Thomson is a self-admitted Freelance Journalist. Jude1313

Investigative Journalist

Jude1313, pardon me? I've reverted one on your edits with due cause, so how am I edit warring? As I've typed above, you are unduly edit warring. The article makes it very clear: "In 2018 he won the national Ray Fitzwalter investigative journalism award for his investigation into the cover up of an historic pedophile ring.", and two sources are provided.

Furthermore, his own official website says: "Described by media experts as a 'livewire' and a 'credit to his profession', he has won accolades as an investigative journalist, a crime reporter and feature writer." Therefore, Charles Thomson is admittedly an investigative journalist.^[1] Israell (talk) 21:57, 25 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Investigative Journalist is false information

Excuse me? Undertaking one or two small investigations DOES NOT make a journalist an Investigative Journalist^[2]. You are quoting from Thomsons own website, a BIASED source. Charles falsely holds out to be a court reporter (with zero legal qualification) and an investigative reporter having undertaken one or two small investigations. He also asked Michael Jackson fans to vote for him to win the Ray Fitzwalter Award advising them on Twitter how to vote multiple times on multiple devices. I have reported this fraud to Salford University. The correct description of Thomson from his work history is Freelance Journalist and Music Journalist. He has not spent enough years in investigative journalism to warrant the title. It is a HUGE discredit to true investigative journalists.

Investigative Journalist

The article already listed two sources. I've added a third source (his official website) since official websites (unlike fansites) are accepted on Wiki as sources. Wiki demands verifiability, and the information is verifiable. Whether or not you personally consider him to be a true investigative journalist or not, it does not change the fact Charles Thomson is indeed an investigative journalist. Israell (talk) 02:22, 26 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Jude1313, I've just added a fourth source, and a BIG one, from the NME.com website this time.^[3]
