Talk:Craig Whittaker

Edits from IP addresses appearing to be from public bodies

As the article itself now notes material was removed from it by an edit from a Parliamentary IP address:

  IP:   http://whois.domaintools.com/194.60.38.202
  Edit: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?diff=641285790&oldid=636294660

A later edit, also removing material, was by an IP from Calderdale Calderdale Council

  IP:   http://whois.domaintools.com/213.249.210.59  
  EDIT: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?diff=642024324&oldid=641457067

Another set of edits by a user who has made no other edits, User:Pshsjk13 Pshsjk13, has also been removing material, and with bogus edit summaries to boot, eg:

This does seems possibly suspicious, but for now I'm going to assume good faith, and monitor the situation. If there's a continuous problem with vandalism, semi-protection may be necessary. Joseph2302 (talk) 17:30, 4 March 2015 (UTC)

In defence of the mystery IP editors, this article was and is full of BLP violations; arbitrarily selected whipped votes, poorly sourced and editorialised "controversy" and very little actual contentDtellett (talk) 11:50, 8 April 2015 (UTC)

In response to the anonymous editor that restored the offending allegation that Whittaker "gave assurances about local hospital services that turned out to be false." This is WP:notinsource, as the article does not state or even insinuate that the MP made any false claims, it simply reports that the MP wrote an article saying there were no plans for closure, but subsequently couldn't confirm whether they would remain at the same level. Secondly, local newspaper reporting is usually not considered a wp:reliable source for reporting contentious statements like "X made false claim" as fact, especially not based on a Twitter back and forth with the reporter. Lastly there's the question of relevance to a biography, and "MP says on Twitter he doesn't know exactly what CCG's report on local hospital says; some locals unimpressed" doesn't seem of that huge significance for a member of a national executive. I'd also question whether the Spectator blog is sufficient evidence that Whittaker's office's edits to Wikipedia are sufficiently noteworthy to warrant inclusion, but I've left it for now as it's at least a reputable national publication dedicating space to the MP. Still, MP office edits are surprisingly common and this would appear to be one of the more justified ones, even if they should have taken it to talk first Dtellett (talk) 12:33, 9 April 2015 (UTC)

Bias

The page seems to be biased in favour of Mr Whittaker. Should be rewritten in order to maintain neutrality Kattyf97 (talk) 01:38, 3 January 2017 (UTC)
