Battle for Hammersmith: Shaun Bailey, Andy Slaughter and the great Wikipedia mystery[edit]

It appears that a Shaun Bailey shill has been editing this page for propaganda purposes. --Tagishsimon (talk) 09:41, 23 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Post Office Closures and Encyclopedia content.[edit]

Firstly its my intention to provide unbiased material for an encyclopedia, not election material. Please note, my edit relating to PPS was absolutely correct -please see the article, to quote, "PPSs are expected to act as part of the payroll vote, voting in line with the government on every division" If this wasn't the case you would have to provide a citation for Slaughter's claim which you haven't done. I therefore going revert the edit. You may also want to look at Wikipedia:NPOV, Wikipedia:No original research,Wikipedia:Identifying reliable sources, Wikipedia:Notability and Wikipedia:NOT

PPS do not have vote with the government. Five PPS voted against the Atlee's government in May 1949 on an Irish devolution bill. More recently PPCs voted against the Iraq invasion and as Mr David Kidney MP affirms it is uncommon but not unpresidented for PPCs to vote against the government http://www.davidkidney.com/pps-?Init=f208e4c3-48ae-adc4-5997-f1f881b79515 -- this edit should therefore be reinstated.

Firstly thanks for the curteous reply. We both want to get the article factually correct and fair as quickly as possible.
Are you saying the article on PPS Q.V. is incorrect?
PPSs are expected to act as part of the payroll vote, voting in line with the government on every division, and regarded as members of the government for purposes of collective responsibility.[1]
I'm willing to change the PPS article to show the exceptions if you can find a good reference for the 1949 vote. I can then change this article to say that it is with very few exceptions, a resignation matter. It won't take long. Is that OK?
BTW isn't a PPC a prospective parliamentary candidate? JRPG (talk) 18:11, 2 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move[edit]

The following is a closed discussion of the proposal. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the proposal was: Page Moved. Station1 (talk) 07:43, 19 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Andrew Slaughter → Andy Slaughter — Andy Slaughter is known by that name, not Andrew Slaughter. He was registered as a candidate in the 2010 and 2005 General Elections as Andy Slaughter. Furthermore, he is widely known as Andy Slaughter in Hammersmith constituency and in the media.Imran1978 (talk) 12:18, 11 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  • Support - while not necessarily the most common usage, Andy is commonly used: Guardian, Telegraph, and various other press sources, but most tellingly parliament.uk and his own Twitter feed use that form. 81.111.114.131 (talk) 18:04, 12 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support I accept but note with surprise that he's known as Andy Slaughter in Parliament. He appears as Andrew Slaughter on Theyworkforyou.com. TWFY are a very useful website with links both ways to Wikipedia. I'll ask them to change if this goes ahead. JRPG (talk) 07:58, 14 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
The above discussion is preserved as an archive of the proposal. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on this talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

Change of name and TWFY.com[edit]

According to an email I've received from Matthew Somerville of TWFY.com, he was given in Hansard as Andrew up to mid March 2007, and then switched to Andy. TheyWorkForYou has now been updated JRPG (talk) 13:03, 19 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
