Thanks. I think it is extraordinarily clear that this SandyDancer fellow has an agenda when he refers to the Monday Club as "blatantly racist". One of the very serious problems which Misplaced Pages seem unable to address are the "blatantly" left-wing editors, where everything is reduced to their ''Guardian'' standpoint.

If you point of view is that political labels should be completely absent from Misplaced Pages, even where fairly apportioned and backed by mainstream, reliable sources, I think you will find the same problem with virtually any politics-related article in this and every other encyclopedia in the world. :If your point of view is that political labels should be completely absent from Misplaced Pages, even where fairly apportioned and backed by mainstream, reliable sources, I think you will find the same problem with virtually any politics-related article in this and every other encyclopedia in the world.

Welcome!

Hello, Chelsea Tory, and welcome to Misplaced Pages! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are some pages that you might find helpful:

Marxist

Chelsea Tory hello! You're more than right. 81.129.155.181 20:51, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

I think your claims that a Marxist/leftist conspiracy is out to nobble the biographies of right-wingers are a bit misplaced. As an experienced Wikipedian and an administrator who's not been involved in any of the Monday Club-related articles before now, I've had a look at them with what I hope you'll accept are unprejudiced eyes. And I have to say that many of the articles are problematic - many of the subjects don't meet Misplaced Pages's biographical notability criteria (WP:BIO), the articles are stuffed with trivia such as who went to which dinner, they aren't referenced and they're not particularly neutral. Please bear in mind that Misplaced Pages is not an indiscriminate collection of information. -- ChrisO 19:18, 29 June 2006 (UTC).

I have examined some of your comments on umpteen pages and I would say you were not neutral. It appears to me that there are umpteen, often cotnradictory, rules on Misplaced Pages which, at the end of the day, are used to suit almost any occasion. Reading them I would say that in real terms it is almost impossible to do anything right. Chelsea Tory 09:49, 7 July 2006 (UTC).

A further trawl just reinforced what I've said here. I wanted to make some article contributions and contribute to others but when hagiographers of Marxists and Communists (in Canada of all places!) have free reign, and call traditional Tories in Britain "Xenophobics", "race-baiters", and attack perfectly legitimate articles which they call "right-wing propaganda" (even when they are about people or groups wno are no longer active) I am dissuaded. I have even seen comments that several users use the same grammar or similar ISP numbers and so they must be the same person. Quite pathetic. Chelsea Tory 10:27, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

Warning

Wholesale deletion is not the way to deal with one fact you dislike within a biography. And accusing everyone who disagrees with you of bias is known locally as MPOV, the polar opposite of the neutral point of view required by policy. Blanking articles is considered vandalism, and can get you blocked. Guy 21:27, 16 September 2006 (UTC).

How dare you threaten me. You are referring, of course, to the GLF article which I merely reverted to the previous position because of the directions of the Misplaced Pages Legal Team. I have been unable to find where that team have given the go-ahead for restoration of the illegal materials within it and so I correctly reverted the article. No "vandalism" was involved and you are out of order. Chelsea Tory 06:55, 18 September 2006 (UTC)

Information about Misplaced Pages's rules is not a threat; it is helpful information. Futher, "How dare you" is a contentious and hostile approach to discussion, which is unlikely to yield any results which are beneficial to you or to the project. Finally, you are WP:Wikilawyering, which is almost certain to get you nowhere except possibly blocked as a disruptive element. I strongly adivse you to learn to discuss things civilly.

Brad really needs to get more involved in this issue--Edchilvers 17:34, 18 September 2006 (UTC)

He already is. SV and I have communicated with Brad and Jimbo respectively, I think we are clear on the foundation's position here. I am not aware that Chelsea Tory has communicated directly with the foundation. Guy 08:49, 20 September 2006 (UTC)

Take a deep breath...

I am clearing the Talk page of Gregory Lauder-Frost. You are welcome to help to improve the article, but please read my message on the talk page before wading in. Guy 19:54, 19 September 2006 (UTC).

One would hope that the archives would continue to be available. Chelsea Tory 14:46, 23 September 2006 (UTC).

I have been on the continent so unable to visit Misplaced Pages. Back today. Chelsea Tory 07:33, 3 October 2006 (UTC)

Monday Club

Reading the above, I can see you've run into trouble before on Wikpedia for POV pushing. Your reversion on the Monday Club article was unjustified. You can't revert properly sourced material just because you don't personally agree with it. And putting right wing in speech marks was frankly silly. --SandyDancer 19:58, 14 October 2006 (UTC).

DO NOT post on my main user page again or I shall make a formal complaint about you. Chelsea Tory 15:58, 15 October 2006 (UTC)

I have not done any "POV pushing" on Misplaced Pages, as far as I am concerned. You cannot insert into articles deliberate political smears just because they suit your agenda. My correction (it was not a revert) on the Monday Club page was most proper and correct in that it removed a deliberate demonising comment (which in any case is in the text further down) from the opening description of the group. We can all source such comments. They are all over the place. Margaret Thatcher was called a "fascist" several times in newspapers. How would you like it if I went to her page, to the opening para and said "MT was the fascist PM of the UK"? After all, it would be sourced! Misplaced Pages is supposed to be an encyclopedia, not a second-rate newspaper full of hype and smears. Chelsea Tory 15:58, 15 October 2006 (UTC)

Depends on the source, or sources, doesn't it? The BBC, The Daily Telegraph, The Guardian, The Independent, the leadership of the Conservative Party - all of them have described the Monday Club as "far-right". Stop trying to obscure the argument by making false analogies. The Monday Club is considered "far-right" by publications and individuals across the (mainstream) political spectrum, which it lies squarely to the right of - indeed it has been disowned by the UK's leading right-of-centre political party. By definition therefore it is "far-right". --SandyDancer 15:05, 24 October 2006 (UTC).

I have followed SandyDancer to this page. Might I respond. The BBC, The Guardian, and The Independent are recognised organs of The Left. They spend their existance demonising The Right. The Conservative Party as an organisation has never described The Monday Club as "far right". Your statements show that you clearly have a very Left agenda. 213.122.26.72 14:49, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

IN RESPONSE TO THE MISSION STATEMENT YOU HAVE CHOSEN TO PUT ON YOUR USER PAGE:

No. Misplaced Pages doesn't need a "Real Conservative" policeman. It doesn't need a "policeman" of any political persuasion. It needs editors who will adopt a neutral point of view, and who refrain from deleting verified, sourced material. --SandyDancer 16:32, 15 October 2006 (UTC)

With people like you around, obsessed with citing established Left-wing smears as "sourced material", all I can say is thank God for other users like Chelsea Tory. 213.122.26.72 14:49, 31 October 2006 (UTC).

Thanks. I think it is extraordinarily clear that this SandyDancer fellow has an agenda when he refers to the Monday Club as "blatantly racist". One of the very serious problems which Misplaced Pages seem unable to address are the "blatantly" left-wing editors, where everything is reduced to their Guardian standpoint. This is not how an encyclopaedia is written. Chelsea Tory 13:03, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

What is the point in having political labels if we can't apply them sensibly?
If your point of view is that political labels should be completely absent from Misplaced Pages, even where fairly apportioned and backed by mainstream, reliable sources, I think you will find the same problem with virtually any politics-related article in this and every other encyclopedia in the world.
Further, I am sick and tired of you and other editors casting aspersions on my motives and making assumptions about my view. Stop it. --SandyDancer 13:10, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
