| |
| − | HI Steve
| |
| − |
| |
| − | work in prog I know but while it's on my mind, cd you ensure that in the Sun article you give a sentence with an authoritative ref for why the perception in para pasted below is not the truth? there was inquiry and report -- would be good to make ref to the findings of this. BBC article on this at
| |
| − | http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/7992845.stm
| |
| − |
| |
| − | specifically, were the Sun's claims below shown to be untrue?
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Hillsborough
| |
| − |
| |
| − | In April 1989 The Sun under the headline “The Truth”, reported that during the Hillsborough stadium football disaster Liverpool football fans had attacked policemen while they tried to help injured victims of the crush. The sub-headlines on the piece read: "Some fans picked pockets of victims"; "Some fans urinated on the brave cops"; "Some fans beat up PC giving kiss of life".
| |
| − |
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Also small point of wiki style convention, cd you use lower case in subheads of articles except of course with names of things that require capitalisation, eg
| |
| − | <nowiki>==Rupert Murdoch acquires The Times==</nowiki>
| |
| − |
| |
| − | not
| |
| − |
| |
| − | <nowiki>==Rupert Murdoch Acquires The Times==</nowiki>
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Also when a sentence has come to end of its 'sense unit', just close with full stop, rather than using a comma to join 2 sentences, eg Rupert Murdoch then bought The Times. This worried some commentators...
| |

| |
| − | not

| |
| − |
| |
| − | 2nd para: can u give a 2-3 word in-text description of who/what is Michael Ancram and Hamas? eg made-up example:
| |
| − |
| |
| − | :DIFFICULT FOR READER: Joe Bloggs Inc. collaborated with Nonsense About Science in spinning Jane Pratt's research to the public.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | :EASY FOR READER: The PR firm Joe Bloggs Inc. collaborated with pro-GM lobby group Nonsense About Science in spinning Jane Smith's scientific research to the public. Smith's research had found that the synthetic sweetener aspartame caused brain tumours in mice.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | you see how we briefly need to explain/unpick for the reader who and what everyone is and what their role in the tale we're telling is? For us writers it feels clumsy to keep explaining things but the readers will be grateful.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | similarly this sentence:
| |
| − |
| |
| − | :He describes the political situation in Iraq as "Quite a positive scene".
| |
| − |
| |
| − | A priceless quote, but needs slight unpicking, in that you are presumably referring to Iraq in the wake of the US/UK invasion (give date)? you need briefly to note this. don't forget that this article will still be being read in 10 years from now and people have short memories. Also be careful about the context of this quote -- look at the context -- is the quote slightly less outrageous in context? it may be that it is not, in which case leave as is, but we need to be fair... does he go on to say in what way the scene is positive? if so, we do need to say it.

| |
| − | Hi Steve
| |
| − |
| |
| − | re http://www.spinprofiles.org/index.php/Kelvin_MacKenzie
| |
| − |
| |
| − | few small points:
| |
| − |
| |
| − | source for Murdoch's quote first para?
| |
| − |
| |
| − | who Roy Greenslade? Briefly introduce him.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Feel free to make internal links for politicians named in Greenslade quote, thus <nowiki>[[Neil Kinnock]]</nowiki> etc.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | I would split up Greenslade quote and guide reader thru it, making clear what point he is supposed to draw from each bit. This will also enable you to clarify who "Davis" is in 2nd para of quote:
| |
| − |
| |
| − | :Davis can have no idea what is about to hit him.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Why is anything about to hit Davis? context needed. you might find it helpful to read
| |
| − | http://www.spinprofiles.org/index.php/SpinProfiles:How_to_Structure_an_Article#Using_quotes
| |
| − |
| |
| − | --about putting quotes in context.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Birmingham Six: very briefly note who they are. I know there is going to be (one day?) a link to an article on them but easier to have a short phrase in article saying who they are.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | In the section, "Birmingham Six", please insert context of quote, who is speaking, etc. as per advice in the "How to structure an article" help page, above.
