Talk:John Rentoul (journalist)

Untitled
I'm afraid I fail to see a copyright violation here - could somebody please explain?

I understand there is a similarity between "John Rentoul is a British journalist, who is the chief political commentator for the Independent on Sunday", and "John Rentoul is chief political commentator for The Independent on Sunday", but how else am I supposed to phrase it?

 * It appeared that the article was a close paraphrase of http://johnrentoul.independentminds.livejournal.com/149941.html with some phrases reworded. This can be a copyright problem even if it is not a verbatim copy. Anyway, an admin reviewed it and it wasn't a candidate for speedy deletion. I'm sorry if I alarmed you. ~YellowFives 03:58, 5 December 2009 (UTC)

Someone's posting nonsense
Could the moderators urgently take a look at this article. Someone (or some persons?) is indulging themselves by 'editing' Wiki articles by incorporating sections of gibberish into the text. This is the second instance I have found in the past 48 hours! Geoff Powers (talk) 19:22, 24 January 2010 (UTC)


 * 1) Wikipedia does not have moderators: it is up to all of us to help clean up vandalism when we see it.
 * 2) If this is only the second example you have seen in 48 hours then you evidently don't do new user patrolling or recent changes patrolling: I expect to see dozens of such cases in 48 hours.
