Talk:Nigel Farage

Bias
Needs serious revision. Reads like has been written by a biased political commentator. Example: first sentence claims he is “most famous politician never to be elected to commons” 77.97.252.158 (talk) 21:46, 14 June 2024 (UTC)


 * That claim has now been removed. Thanks. Martinevans123 (talk) 21:50, 14 June 2024 (UTC)

Adding "Army Cadet Force" to his infobox?
Im not knowledged fully on the standards or the etiquite of infoboxes, however it was stated by Farage that he was a regimental sergeant major in the army cadets which is a youth organisation sponsored by the Ministry of Defence and actively puts cadets on British army assets. 82.19.124.65 (talk) 10:28, 20 June 2024 (UTC)


 * Infobox is already very crowded and have had to create a collapsable section. In any case, whilst the cadets are sponsored by the MoD, the rank you reference is not a military office in the traditional sense with formal responsibilities. WestminsterWhistleblower (talk) 20:21, 15 July 2024 (UTC)

Lede image
There has been some reversion of the lede image.

It was suggested in June that a new image was needed, which I agree with, as the longer standing image is:
 * out of date, being 6 years old
 * isn't a particularly good image because of the position of the subject's head

I uploaded two current images, taken with professional equipment, and which represent him giving a speech, which is probably what he is best known for. The one in use was him against a background of a Reform party branding, but there is also one with a (natural) black background which makes him stand out more.

I think it does need an up-to-date image. Views are welcome

 * He will get a MP portrait whenever Parliament reconvenes, so I suggest keeping the original 2018 version for now. Dingers5Days (talk) 16:57, 5 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Now it's been changed to another one with a red background. Why can't people wait for the official MP picture? Kiwiz1338 (talk) 10:44, 7 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Now to one from about ten years ago. If I'm not mistaken parliament will reconvene on Tuesday. Maurnxiao (talk) 15:39, 7 July 2024 (UTC)


 * The current image (as of this comment) looks clownish. -Ad Orientem (talk) 17:10, 7 July 2024 (UTC)
 * I think either the 2018 one or this until a official gets sourced, not one from 2014 Mewhen123 (talk) 18:37, 7 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Current picture is very bad, we better return the 2018 picture and wait until his official portrait as MP is released. Shadow4dark (talk) 20:37, 7 July 2024 (UTC)
 * another option is this Mewhen123 (talk) 20:46, 7 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Much better than the clownish one Shadow4dark (talk) 22:24, 7 July 2024 (UTC)
 * @Mewhen123 That works, pending the official photo for MPs. -Ad Orientem (talk) 02:33, 8 July 2024 (UTC)
 * I prefer "Original page picture" I dont think the new photos in the white are an improvement. Thanks! Jtbobwaysf (talk) 11:06, 8 July 2024 (UTC)


 * I think use the black one. The original one is 6 years old and the one with the branding has diffucult head placement Dimensional Fusion   (talk)  09:15, 9 July 2024 (UTC)

Reform UK section, no mention that he more or less owns the company
It’s a weird section anyway, seems mainly about him. What does gin have with it? Why nothing about his shares in the party or rather the Reform UK Party Limited? Doug Weller  talk 17:50, 13 July 2024 (UTC)
