I’m looking forward to an answer to this.
I’ve also (finally) been promised a video copy of Caroline Hunt’s ‘rant’ on 18ToryStreet.
PS – A good point, well made. Remember; these are the same people who scream “Nu Lab astro-turfer!” when anyone calls them on their bullshit.

Tim,There's an annoying user in wikipedia who does a lot of Anne Milton stuff: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Nssdfdsfdswho thinks he has the right to cleanse wikipedia of all mention of blogs (see diff on this article about non-terrorists currently on trial)http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talbot_…We're supposed to only reference sources such as socialist worker. If the observation of the blogs is the failure of the print media, then we're stuffed if we can only refer to the print media.Maybe the wikipedia policy needs changing. It's way to harsh: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WP:RS#Self-published…I mean, if the BBC writes a letter to a blogger and he puts it up on his blog, why is that not a primary source?

Same guy has edited Sue Doughty's page and my page and Iain Dale's and Paul Staines' page. His political shade and resulting bias is obvious.I'm staying the hell away from it all, but I will say this:1.He fails to notice that the material he added to my entry relates purely to blogging activity (which doesn't count, obviously).2.For:http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Iain_Da…See:http://www.theregister.co.uk/2006/12/28/british_p…
