A summary of some important site policies and guidelines

[edit]

You need to cite sources for claims

[edit]

Information icon Please do not add or change content, as you did at The Next Revolution, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. Ian.thomson (talk) 18:27, 22 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

And on a personal note, any programming on Fox News Channel is far-right and won't redress any claims on that end of the spectrum, no matter how demonstrably false they may be. The few "liberals" they bring in are either centrist sycophants, fringe strawmen, or accidents they won't invite back. Ian.thomson (talk) 18:31, 22 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop adding unsourced content, as you did on Steve Hilton. This violates Wikipedia's policy on verifiability. If you continue to do so, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Yeenosaurus (talk) 🍁 17:12, 23 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Additionally, a right-wing populist, on a show on a far-right network, is not going to argue against comments by a far-right commentator. If there was actual outrage over the comments or the lack of opposition (and not just over all of those individuals being right-wing), then that could be noteworthy but that would need to be demonstrated by a source.
Reverse everything here. Imagine if the Owen Jones had an interview with Bernie Sanders in the Daily Mirror (instead of the New Statesman for whatever reason). Imagine that a new editor comes onto the site and starts adding material (citing no sources whatsoever) to the articles about Jones and the New Statemen decrying "the abominable way that Jones just let Sanders preach his delusional communism." It'd be unrealistic to expect a left-wing individual to criticize or otherwise downplay another left-wing individual in a left-wing paper; and barring some sources being presented that there was actual consternation regarding something Sanders (hypothetically) said, one would have to assume that the problem is the editor is upset with leftist politics in general.
Now, I certainly lean left, and I think that equating the far-right establishment with the left is dishonest (and would argue our policies agree), but that's basically the situation.
If you keep adding unsourced commentary, you can and will be blocked from editing. I highly recommend finding another topic you can edit more neutrally (at least for now), and perhaps even trying this tutorial to learn how to cite sources (among other things).
