From today's Observer, re [[Michal Kaminski]]. What do we know about
this, and was it spin or BLP cleanup?
Charles
Policy wise it was acceptable BLP cleanup (the information was true
but uncited). Practically I doubt anyone at the house of commons
spends their time fixing BLP issues and just happened to stumble
across a random polish politician. The information that he was a
National Revival of Poland member is back in the article with
citations and explanations.
And when later sthe tory says "The changes – designed to portray
[Edward] McMillan-Scott as a europhile – were made from a computer with
an internet IP address named "Strasburg" ", what do they mean? They mean
there was an account named "Strasburg", would be the simple
interpretation. (And this might be another subediting gremlin.) There is
an implied link between the two editors, but "we couldn't possibly
comment", I guess.
Charles
Obviously they mean User:Strasburg, as he has 5 edits to [[Michał Kamiński]].
