What's the problem now?[edit]

There seems to be a dedicated band of Tory-supporting blankers on Wikipedia. I'm used to it from pro-Israel people, but this is new to me. What is the problem with the material? I am happy to adjust the tone of it if needs be. ~ Iloveandrea (talk) 21:46, 5 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

You don't have to be a Tory supporter to spot bias when you see it. At present the article repeatedly takes opinions and treats them as facts. It ignores the government's POV on the matter and presents it in a purely negative light.

For example, fundamental to the series of edits that I reverted is the claim that Merlin was a "failure". We can't say that like that, because it's not a fact, but merely your own opinion - which would be disputed by the government, whose project it was. If it's relevant that some described Merlin as a failure, the article can discuss that, but it must then balance this with those that disagree. Kahastok talk 08:40, 6 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
