Everything on the page appears factual, meticulously referenced and relevant. I don't think we should remove major scandals from the bio of a public figure simply because he has accumulated so many. You are free to add any relevant information that casts him in a better light. However, NPOV doesn't dictate that a character must be made to look good. -- Jamougha

Order

Does anyone know the order of which Sir Ian was made a knight? I would assume he's a KBE, but I'd rather be sure. Mackensen (talk) 17:58, 24 July 2005 (UTC)

Knight Bachelor, actually. Susvolans (pigs can fly) 17:04, 28 July 2005 (UTC)

What does "2.2" mean in the clause "...he gained a 2:2 in English Language and English ..."? Avalon 02:51, 19 August 2005 (UTC)

Lower Second Class Honours degree. British bachelors' degrees (in most universities) are divided into First Class Honours (First), Upper Second Class Honours (2:1), Lower Second Class Honours (2:2), Third Class Honours (Third), and Pass (with no Honours). -- Necrothesp 10:05, 19 August 2005 (UTC)
Added a link to page on British Degree Classifications --JRawle 17:29, 20 August 2005 (UTC)


This page is a blatant example of POV.. Nuke it and start again.

Yes Sir. PizzaMargherita 11:07, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

it's not our fault if this guy is to bad headlines like shit is to flies.

Only bad headlines? http://www.abendblatt.de/daten/2005/08/01/465324.html
Not only POV but also potentially libellous - opening paragraph edited to remove such —Preceding unsigned comment added by Joekiki (talk • contribs) 15:01, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

NPOV tag

This article reads like a massive criticism of Blair which is not POV and hence I have tagged the article17:59, 18 November 2007 (UTC)


Totally agree! I am new to Misplaced Pages and I find this Ian Blair page awful. Surely he can't be that bad!I have looked at Misplaced Pages in general and thought it informative until I happened upon this one. I think this casts doubt about ALL wikipedia pages as this is that bad. I really don't mind that I have not logged-on, I need someone to defend Misplaced Pages.

Bias

Frankly this whole page seems as though it has been written by the Daily Mail on behalf of the Conservative Party. It may wellhave been. It is not in the best traditions of Misplaced Pages to allow itself to be used in this way. Ponkywatts (talk) 23:15, 18 November 2007 (UTC)
