Aimulti edits reverted
The text added by Aimulti/Mark Hanau is suspected copyright violation. He has a history of this, at least one page he made, photographer John Vickers had to be deleted bc of it. Part of this was copied word for word from. Probably the rest too or somewhere else. Quotes have to be put in quotes. RetroS1mone (talk) 12:33, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

Are you sure all that information should be deleted. While I agree the top 75% is lifted straight from the Hugh Brock papers, the last couple of paragraphs appear to be original and referenced. Any valid additional information on this stub is an improvement Brockgr (talk) 13:45, 16 May 2008 (UTC)


 * Most of the text is a violation. This user has a history of copyright violation and general anti-Wikipedia behavior. The article is not worth saving. Before Aimulti's plagiarism it was a stub about a unremarkable fringe publication. RetroS1mone (talk) 00:05, 17 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Maybe I'm wrong and it is worth saving. A person with those sources can look it up and verify and re post the things that aren't plagiarized to make the article better. RetroS1mone   talk  03:17, 17 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Ok - lets see if I can rephrase thing to cite the archiveshub page, rather than copy it. I suspect that some of the information is better suited to a Hugh Brock page. I will also contact Peace News - they may be able to provide further content. I believe that an active publication with over 70 years of history in the British Pacifist movement, which is very closely linked to the formation of CND and the creation of the peace symbol is worthy of keeping.

 * Absolutely. I found so much copying by Aimulti I didn't give the publication a fair shake. Good luck! RetroS1mone   talk  14:59, 17 May 2008 (UTC)

UK Underground?
Who categorised PN as UK Underground? I really don't think it belongs with IT, Oz, etc. Roundtheworld (talk) 19:14, 14 January 2010 (UTC)

In that case you have not read Jeff Nuttall's Bomb Culture, are unaware that the previous job of Tom McGrath (the founder of IT) was features editor of Peace News. Yes, PN was not druggy, and was more staid sexually. When the IT columnist and leading disc jockey John Peel was invited to contribute a column to PN, he declined very graciously saying that what he most admired about Peace News was its independence from trends, whereas he felt he was mainly associated with being trendy. (I read this letter in the Peace News archives when I began working for the paper in 1971.) Howard Clark (talk) 02:21, 9 October 2011 (UTC)
 * It would be good to have some information about this in the article, as the connection isn't obvious, apart from the anti-war connection.Jonpatterns (talk) 11:03, 12 May 2015 (UTC)
