Ruth Smeeth

Ruth Smeeth page

The comment that you have left me is utterly bizzare. You can hardly provide a source for something that she has not said - and that is my point: Ruth Smeeth has still not addressed the substance of the speaker's allegation, which is that she collaborated with the Daily Telegraph. Perhaps you would care to add a sentence showing that she HAS responded to the speaker's claim and to add a link to your source? I look forward to seeing it. The article, as it stands, with your undoing my edit leaves the matter of the allegation raised entirely unresolved for readers. Simply saying that she complained that the allegation was anti-semitic says nothing about whether she did or did not collaborate with a mainstream, conservative newspaper and what her response is. She has not answered the allegation and that is what is pointed out. Can you please provide a source link showing that she has? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 175.139.7.160 (talk) 16:40, 1 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

You keep-on undoing my edits, using the excuse that my information is unsourced. I have included my source in my edit, and here it is for your own reference: https://www.craigmurray.org.uk/archives/2016/06/sanity-shami-chakrabarti-ruth-smeeth-affair/.

 "Ms Smeeth’s statement contains one stark dishonesty. She puts “media conspiracy” in inverted commas, when Mr Wadsworth did not use the phrase, or even either of those two words separately. Ms Smeeth appears to have deliberately misrepresented what Mr Wadsworth said, which I presume she checked"

Craig Murray is a former senior British diplomat, ambassador and media commentator. My source is cited and it is sound. You seem absolutely determined to control the dialogue on a contetious issue.but you have no valid reason for undoing my edit which points-out a factualy inaccuracy in Ruth Smeeth's statement. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 175.139.7.160 (talk) 18:11, 1 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Craig Murray's statement that the speaker did not use the term "media conspiracy" is factually correct and the blog article includes a link to the video of the speaker, Marc Wadsworth, making his comments. Are you arguing that his statement "She puts “media conspiracy” in inverted commas, when Mr Wadsworth did not use the phrase, or even either of those two words separately. Ms Smeeth appears to have deliberately misrepresented what Mr Wadsworth said, which I presume she checked" is incorrect? Can you cite a source showing Marc Wadsworth mentioning a "media conspiracy"? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 175.139.7.160 (talk) 18:17, 1 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

If you want this information to be added then the onus is on you to find it, and to do so from a reliable source. On your talk page I have already mentioned some examples of the sources we would require. If none of them mention this then neither do we. This is Paul (talk) 18:20, 1 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I have referred the matter of your repeated reversion of my edits to Admin, including for violation of 3RR. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 175.139.7.160 (talk) 19:29, 1 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Most Pathetic Subscription Award

The Most Pathetic Subscription Award must go to the Irish Medical Times for something that occurred to me this evening. While looking for updated information on junior health minister Helen McEntee just now, I found this article in Google News and clicked on it. Up came a dialog box asking me if I was a medical professional. When I truthfully answered no, the dialog box briefly disappeared before returning with the following message: "This site contains information, news and advice for healthcare professionals. You have informed us that you are not a healthcare professional and therefore we are unable to provide you with access to this site." The dialog box could not be removed, and reloading the page didn't reset the question, but I then loaded the article from a different browser. Answering yes to the question made the dialog box disappear, and there was nothing else. No request to pay a subscription fee, or even to register. Just something I thought others might wish to know.

My source is the video of the episode that is posted on the website of The Independent, as I have noted in my post to admin. That is a sufficiently credible source to be cited on Wikipedia. I was prepared to accept that your intitial deletion might have been due to your questioning the source, but that is clearly not the case.
