Source for rally's inspiration

The rally was modelled partly on United States presidential campaign conventions, partly on the German political rallies of the 1930s

The reference used to justify the above quote does nothing of the sort. The reference says some commentators thought the rally reminded them of Nuremberg, which is totally different to saying that the rally was deliberately modelled (by implication, by the Labour party) to resemble a Nazi party rally. The comparison is specious and should be removed or altered. Yorkshiresky 20:49, 17 October 2006 (UTC.)

Why has Wikipedia ignored the fact that the whole thing was organised by Peter Mandelson?

Is this true, and can you provide a source to back it up? -Ashley Pomeroy (talk) 18:32, 1 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

We're alright

The claim in the article that Kinnock was actually shouting 'well, alright' is incorrect (and an apparent attempt to rewrite history to make the incident seem slightly less embarrassing) - I just saw the clip shown on TV for the nth time and he's clearing shouting 'we're alright'. So I've changed this. 93.96.236.8 (talk) 21:49, 5 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Total Rubbish

"Some accounts suggest the event only receiving widespread attention after the election,[5] an opinion Kinnock shared in April 2010: "It wasn't until about ten days after the election that people started writing about the 'hubristic Sheffield rally' and all the rest of it."

 The above paragraph, currently in this article, is complete myth. The BBC election night footage (available online) clearly shows multiple discussions of this calamitous rally on the night of the election. 70.172.198.185 (talk) 17:50, 18 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
