[edit] Politico-media complex
I've added the "{{prod}}" template to the article Politico-media complex, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but I don't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and I've explained why in the deletion notice (see also Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not and Wikipedia:Notability). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, or, if you disagree, discuss the issues raised at Talk:Politico-media complex. If you remove the {{dated prod}} template, the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. - Peripitus (Talk) 12:14, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] "Sister contributions"?
What is the justification for italicizing a non-titular term in the introduction of an article? If you're looking for consistency, de-italicize the sister contributions. Robert K S 14:05, 8 January 2007 (UTC)
- Quite right. Thanks. Read-up a couple of punctuation books. Dsmith1usa 15:00, 19 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Unsuccessful
One of my favourite reference books, Stenton and Lees' "Who's Who of British MPs", observes in its foreword that "to have 'contested' a seat is, by gentlemanly omission, to have been unsuccessful". Sam Blacketer 13:34, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
- This is about you, in your kite flying, on an analytical connection between the word 'candidate' and failure. I've responded to this red-herring (at length) elsewhere Dsmith1usa 15:00, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Natascha Engel
I'm sorry to keep on at you over this but your edits are still not entirely consonant with the Wikipedia policies and guidelines. Any communication between the subject of the article and yourself is almost by definition bound to be "original research". The fact that Natascha Engel may support electoral reform (for which we need a citable source) does not contradict or go against the fact that she has not broken the Labour whip, so conjoining them and suggesting that they are connected is problematic.
As far as the list goes, your use of the present tense is very odd. The action which is important is the placing of the name on the list by its author, which took place at a set point in the past, not the fact that it remains there. The list is not supposed to be one which is continuously updated. It is as odd as seeing it written that Lord so-and-so owns 40 hides of cattle as recorded in the Domesday book: the Domesday book still exists but it was a record of things as they existed in 1086.
