Talk:Seumas Milne: Difference between revisions

: I added the passage about [[Bob Seely]]'s claims a couple of weeks ago in anticipation that it might be the start of a significant development. Apart from the inevitable spoiler or rehash from another website, and a couple of blogs, the issue has not taken off. So the removal of the passage looks legitimate for now.

::Seeley did not "find" anything, he and a Ukrainian activist concocted a pretty wild and speculative allegation. As even the person who added it admits, no one else ran with this. A WP BLP should not be stuffed with every one-off random claim made by someone politically hostile to the subject. If there was widespread factual reporting of, say, leaked emails between Milne and [[Dmitry Peskov]] actually showing Milne taking orders from Moscow, that would be different, but absent that, this is silly stuff that people can put in their blogs if they're that excited by it. I'm reverting its latest reinsertion, and perhaps that person could make the case here if they disagree. <small>'''[[User:N-HH|<span style="color: navy;">N-HH</span>]] [[User talk:N-HH|<span style="color: blue;">talk</span>]]/[[Special:Contributions/N-HH|<span style="color: blue;">edits</span>]]'''</small> 09:34, 2 June 2018 (UTC)
