Talk:The Ecologist

Tickell's Unquoted Article

Oliver Tickell's seminal article is, I think, worth quoting in its entirety, given the attempted coup against Jeremy Corbyn and the current turmoil in the Labour Party.--Patrick Haseldine (talk) 16:14, 25 August 2016 (IST)

If you check the page history, you will see that I edited the article, unaware that it in fact quoted from elsewhere. I hope that this highlights the need for correct attribution of 3rd party input. I have two questions at this stage:

1. Does any more of this article belongs inside quotes of some sort?
2. Since you express a desire to include that article in full, which page do you think would be the best place to do this? -- Robin (talk) 16:45, 25 August 2016 (IST)

2: The "3rd party input", Robin, is Oliver Tickell's - the editor of The Ecologist - and IMHO this page is without doubt the best place for it!--Patrick Haseldine (talk) 21:27, 25 August 2016 (IST)

I reinstated the warning tag, which is good to leave there until this issue is resolved. So:

1. Does any more of this article belongs inside quotes of some sort?
2. Why do you think it would be better here than, say, Oliver Tickell, Jeremy Corbyn, Document:Shooting to Kill - Operation Get Corbyn, Labour Party/Destabilization, Jeremy Corbyn/Opposition... -- Robin (talk) 03:24, 26 August 2016 (IST)

Have now created Document:Shooting to kill Corbyn - the coup is on and revised the text, which seems to me to resolve the problem. If you agree Robin, you may wish to remove the tag.--Patrick Haseldine (talk) 16:09, 26 August 2016 (IST)
