[edit]

The article provides a false information about Tommy Robinson. He is not anti Islam, he is anti extremists Jihadists. He was wrongly accused and then was released from prison without the charge! Facts are available and proper journalists can allocate it. Do your research and provide facts before publishing such a gross misinformation! 194.223.185.245 (talk) 06:03, 10 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

 Not done: Wikipedia presents a neutral point of view based on how the subject is described in reliable sources. Do you have reliable sources that can corroborate the idea that he is not anti Islam or at least evidence a proportionate viewpoint that counters this view?

In this interview with Jordan Peterson he describes growing up a multi faith community. From approx. 36:40 onwards he make it clear that he is anti islamist.

This article quotes him specifically stating he not anti islam:

Of course he denies it, that does not mean he is telling the truth. Slatersteven (talk) 16:07, 23 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
We don't prioritise his own views on the matter; we say what reliable sources say. Also see WP:MANDY. — Czello (music) 16:15, 23 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
"Neutral point of view" is it?
I call your attention to paragraph 1, stating that Tommy is a far-right activist.
This is NOT a neutral point of view, it is one solely held by left-wing politicians and followers. 92.13.86.180 (talk) 07:42, 31 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@92.13.86.180 it's actually the view of reliable sources. — Czello (music) 09:52, 31 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Unproductive discussion that devolved into disruptive kvetching
The following discussion has been closed. Please do not modify it.
To say a “reliable source” is any more reliable than a persons personal view of themself or third parties view of that view as yours is an exercise of opinion and nothing more. As this page(Tommy Robinson)is accusing or rather labelling the subject far-right based on opinions that can also be fairly accused or labeled as those of a far-left biased nature.
Unauthentic and amateur publishing is hard to read from an unbiased perspective and disappointingly this is the perfect example of bias for the sake of being biased. Rubbish 110.20.151.138 (talk) 11:20, 27 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry, this isn't the Tommy Robinson fan club page. Martinevans123 (talk) 11:33, 27 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I never suggested it was or is. Are you informing me it’s the tommy Robinson haters club page? If not the fan club page or haters club page then what page is it? Madewikid (talk) 11:52, 27 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
It's the page for reporting what reliable sources have said about Robinson. If you want to go and read what he thinks about himself, that's your prerogative. Martinevans123 (talk) 11:56, 27 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I didn’t know who Tommy Robinson was until today after viewing a recent YouTube upload the popped up in my feed. Though I’d check wiki for information after seeing unjustified bias and hate in the comments. Surprisingly it seems as though wiki has fallen foul of the low standards club. Thank you for your time. Madewikid (talk) 12:03, 27 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Then how do you know this is biased? Slatersteven (talk) 12:05, 27 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
No where does it say those are the views of are those of far-left. To know far-right is to know far-left, they are one and the same and one cannot exist without the other. An unbiased article would include onions from both or none, simple. The fact the page has been semi-protected along with comments such as your own indicate that is the case. It is what it is n Madewikid (talk) 12:21, 27 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
What?, and read WP:FALSEBALANCE. Slatersteven (talk) 12:23, 27 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Sincerely, and, with a No, thank you. Madewikid (talk) 12:39, 27 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Shallots, surely? Martinevans123 (talk) 12:36, 27 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Madewikid (talk) 12:54, 27 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Can you please explain to me why I should consider your word as reliable any more than the pages authors word or the word of the reliable sources you claim of?
What is the criteria for a source to be confirmed as reliable exactly? Madewikid (talk) 12:11, 27 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
It has a reputation for fact checking or is regarded as authoritative by other RS. Now what sources have you read that indicate we are wrong? Slatersteven (talk) 12:20, 27 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
We, who’s we? Madewikid (talk) 12:22, 27 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Our article, and with that refusal to give a straight answer I am out of here with a NO to actioning this. Slatersteven (talk) 12:25, 27 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I neither refused or asked you to action anything on my behalf.
You are who exactly and what is your position within wiki? Madewikid (talk) 12:30, 27 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Who’s our? Is that our as in ours as in yours and mine and anyone else who signs up to edit Wikipedia? I don’t know anyone who gets paid or has an authority other than having more stars next to their name. Anyone can contribute. There’s no gatekeepers here my friend. Madewikid (talk) 12:51, 27 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Quick fact check. Are these your words and your opinion of yourself? “He is not always 100% honest but he is an angel of fallacy. He has shown by logical argument that the sea is only alleged to be wet. He may be as dumb as some of you think he is”. Madewikid (talk) 13:05, 27 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
It came from a reliable source, very reliable apparently. Madewikid (talk) 13:06, 27 October 2024 (UTC)Madewikid (talkcontribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. [reply]
Your sources are not reliable though. You cannot use the rantings of extremely biased left-wing journalists as a reliable source in this "impartial" article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.97.160.225 (talk) 17:31, 12 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Ranting extremely biased left-wing journalists like those at The Daily Telegraph? Martinevans123 (talk) 11:35, 27 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Account and probably the IP are a single purpose account with an agenda. Ignore. Doug Weller talk 12:10, 27 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Indeed. If people ask clueless questions then it is fair enough to give them a brief answer on the assumption that they might be asking in mistaken good faith, and might actually be interested in the answer, but there is no point in getting bogged down arguing back and forth with SPAs and trolls who are clearly only here to waste our time. --DanielRigal (talk) 14:35, 27 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
He certainly knows his onions. Martinevans123 (talk) 21:28, 27 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

"Change anti-islam to anti-illegal immigration"

"Change Far Right activist for Political activist" 00catkit (talk) 20:43, 28 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

RS do not support this. Slatersteven (talk) 20:45, 28 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Where is he now

[edit]

I think his current accommodation is better served in the first opening of the lead even though the details are repeated further down. Hausa warrior (talk) 17:06, 30 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Tend to agree. I think it frames the article in an appropriate way. Martinevans123 (talk) 17:13, 30 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Agree per MOS:FIRSTBIO. Serving a prison sentence provides context for notibility. CNC (talk) 17:22, 30 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I would actually lean to disagree. Being in prison isn't notable, it's WP:MILL, even more so because this isn't the subjects first time (or likely his last...). I think it being in the lead could be considered undue weight to the current events. We're not the daily mail, after all. OXYLYPSE (talk) 20:20, 30 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I think the good old DM regards him as a national hero? I guess being in prison isn't notable for Robinson. Martinevans123 (talk) 20:31, 30 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Fair point. I did consider whether this sort of information was more "routine" than due for notability and context, and you're right that this could be considered run-of-the-mill based on recentisim. I'm not opposed to the sentence being removed. CNC (talk) 21:07, 30 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
