Talk:Steve Moxon (whistleblower)

Imprint Academic
, can I check whether you're sure that Imprint Academic is a self-publishing outfit? I knew it wasn't the best of presses, but I wasn't aware that they offered self-publishing. Cordless Larry (talk) 21:12, 21 June 2019 (UTC)
 * This suggests that they have a subsidiary that offers self-publishing, but I don't think that the books published under the Imprint Academic imprint are part of that. Cordless Larry (talk) 21:15, 21 June 2019 (UTC)


 * yes, I think you're right. I ended up on the wrong page without looking again at the title. Not sure how I did that, but good catch. Doug Weller  talk 05:38, 22 June 2019 (UTC)

Independent candidate
, you mentioned in your edit summary here that "He eventually stood as a UKIP candidate, as shown in the other sources". However, this source says that he was suspended as a candidate by UKIP and "will stay on the ballot paper as an independent". The BBC source also says that he was removed as a UKIP candidate.

 * The sources are contradictory. The official results show him as a UKIP candidate, but the Guardian disputes this (as does The Star). One possibility is that UKIP fired him as a candidate but were too late to actually change the ballot papers. I think the current wording is good: we make clear that he was selected then fired as a candidate, without making claims about what exactly appeared on the ballot paper. Moxon himself is quoted as saying "In the unlikely event I get elected I guess I would be an independent at least for a while." i.e. regardless of what appeared on the ballot paper, he was no longer endorsed by UKIP. cagliost (talk) 09:39, 13 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Thanks, Cagliost. It's strange that the results as published in the Star have him as an independent, as I'd expect those to be a copy-paste of the results from the council. The possibility that he was deselected after the ballot papers had been printed actually sounds familiar to me. I have a feeling I read something to that effect while researching the article, but can't find it now. Cordless Larry (talk) 08:32, 14 December 2021 (UTC)
