Louis Eakes (later to edit the Tribune) edit
Does this refer to the socialist magazine Tribune? If so it's surely wrong - I can see no evidence on the Tribune (magazine) page that Eakes was ever editor.--rossb (talk) 12:42, 29 March 2012 (UTC)
- I agree and have now flagged it as 'dubious'. He seems to be Louis Wayne Eaks who died 17 December 1991 https://probatesearch.service.gov.uk/Calendar?surname=eaks&yearOfDeath=1992&page=1#calendar Nedrutland (talk) 09:33, 28 September 2020 (UTC)
- Eaks (the second e is spurious but commonplace) edited Free Palestine, not the Tribune. DuncanHill (talk) 10:31, 28 September 2020 (UTC)
List of presidents edit
It seems most unlikely that the American gonzo journalist Hunter S Thompson was president of the National League of Young Liberals in the 1980s. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Stephennewton (talk • contribs) 11:06, 17 March 2016 (UTC)
- I have added citation needed. However, I presume the role was non-executive and an analogy from student politics might be the rector of some universities (see Rector of the University of Glasgow) which have included media personalites and political activists.

Sources edit
I have trimmed a load of irrelevant works from the "Sources" section. The section itself seems to be a misnomer, as none of the works are actually cited as sources, as far as I can see. DuncanHill (talk) 15:56, 24 May 2018 (UTC)
