Covid restrictions and Antigua

The Irish News are reporting that Morgan has been accused of hypocrisy for making repeated calls for people to comply with Covid restrictions and then travelling to Antigua over Christmas 2020 in breach of the rules.

• What is your point? Are you going to edit the article? Your theguardian and itv-dot-com sources seem noteworthy/trustable under wiki common policy.. Have at it! -From Peter {a.k.a. Vid2vid (talk | contribs)} 15:56, 28 March 2021 (UTC)

  • • Hello and how are you @ @Martinevans123: ? Re your (or your BOT's?) edit of my personally, fully intended Talk page comment diff is shown here in which you or your BOT changed my text from, "have at it" to --> "have a look at it" -- Umm. No. (Not what I wrote or intended.) I meant what I wrote. Please get a handle on your BOT, or tendencies to edit Talk Pages, as it is definitely *POOR FORM* to edit peoples' TALK comments directly. You are putting words in their mouths that way. Your BOT (or you) could "comment" a new comment, after their comment, with a proposed edit or suggestion or correction or grammatical/typographical fix, but, don't edit what I, a human, drafted in my own words please. I hope you will take this lesson to heart and it'll serve as a lesson to others too as a better workaround. Thanks for listening. -From Peter {a.k.a.

      • Thanks for your note Peter. I do sincerely apologise. I don't have any bots, thanks. I certainly won't be editing your comments again. What does "have at it" mean? Thanks. Martinevans123 (talk) 17:04, 28 March 2021 (UTC)

Rearrangement by User:Philip Cross

I have restructured the article so that it now pivots on the change in Morgan's career in 2004. Despite his effective switch from primarily working in newspapers to television personality around that time, certain sections are split between the two. The passage on Meghan, Duchess of Sussex is the most obvious example. The controversies/feuds section being near the end of the article meant duplication was inevitable. The likely adjudication of Ofcom on his comments about the Duchess should mean their decision will not be repeated in three sections. Philip Cross (talk) 20:31, 12 March 2021 (UTC)

The bigger problem, IMHO, is that more than half of the article is spent on detailing these controversies. Is it really that important of an aspect of this person's career; or is this just the usual WP:NOTNEWS type of coverage that is a fair bit UNDUE? I wouldn't be against keeping it, I just think it needs to be trimmed down... RandomCanadian (talk / contribs) 17:41, 28 March 2021 (UTC)
