1740:. The section makes unattributed claims that DC called the Auschwitz initiative a "head-line grabbing gimmick". He may have said "gimmick" but the invention of the quote was sloppy. Much worse, the article claimed the Telegraph had called for Mr Cameron to apologise - the implication being that DC's comment caused such outrage that even the Conservative press was horrified. The article cited said no such thing, not even a hint of it. When a user attempted to incorporate the Conservative leader's response into the section he was reverted by the same user with the summary "remove contradictory comments".

partly because it is basically wrong. The
Conservatives have changed their use of language from 'binding' to 'annual' but there is nothing sinister about it. What they (and the Lib Dems) want is annual targets to keep Carbon emissions at the top of the political agenda. David Milliband argues is that annual targets won't work becuase factors like the weather can throw things off course and be misleading. What he wants is targets over five years - which crucially would take it outside the length of a normal parliament.
1310:. As it stands now, it is longer than "Fox Hunting", "ID cards" and "Education" put together, which seems a little strange for what amounts to Cameron saying he wants to add a line to the census. Of course, the issue of "British Hindus" is larger than this, which is why there is an article devoted to it, but this is roughly what Cameron is saying he wants to do, and thus this is what is relevant. I would appreciate some outside opinions on this matter, as it seems only me and Ananth801 care about it right now.

1812:; anyone can write a blog but unless that blog has been cited by some sort of news organisation the information it gives shouldn't be summarised in the article.

What to include in the lead paragraph is often contentious, and the issue is not clear cut. My 2p worth: there might be a case for the word "Eton" somewhere at the top, but personally, I don't think that the full details of his education need to be in the lead, at least surely not his prep school and

It seems to have grown quite considerably in the last month or so, and, IMO, it's now become rather too long and contains too much detail that would be better moved to other places in the article.

No it isn't, except in the fevered imaginations of slackers from the USA. Most places in the world are hotbeds of adolescent gay experiences. Public

So (i suspect) in response to this the

This issue is threatening to become an edit war. My own view is that the incident at Eton - the claims about later use at Oxford seems less well sourced at present - should be in its chronological position as it appears to have been a significant incident at the school during
Cameron's time there.
361:
Your take on the issue seems very logical. However, it is acceptable to use a source which confirms the relevant information, even if the source is primarily about another topic. Whatever reason the Conservatives have for dropping the "binding" term, it should be listed in the article. However, we

I noticed an IP added this section yesterday. I'm inclined to not think it's something that should get its own section. If there's a reliable source that says Cameron is descended from William the Conquerer, it can be given a one sentence mention in the Family section. Would anyone object if I

My apologies for the error. However, I think it was obvious I meant Eton. I still think this is pretty elitist and baseless for inclusion in an Encyclopedia. We now have the issue of ascertaining a SOURCE for being 'probably the best college in England'. Good luck with that one. In the mean time,

The paragraph did not cite its source. Indeed, it mentioned that the information was "reported by the BBC in December 2005"; you mention an entirely different source. In the article you cite, neither of the quotes (the one attributed to Jeff Randall, and the one attributed to Ian King) appears.

David Cameron was privately educated at great expense at Eton College. I believe that it is very important that readers of Knowledge should be aware that a man who seems to be opposed to non fee-paying selective education was privately educated at the most expensive secondary school in the UK.

Knowledge isn't a news service, and we need to be careful not to turn articles like this into sort blog, where we add every political spat as it happens. It's better to take a longer view and consider the importance of each against his whole career, and it's too early to do that on this issue.

David was a crack whore when he was a Eton (unconfirmed but compelling evidence suggests). He smoked between 50-100 rocks a night and used heroin as the parachute to come down off the spikey high this gave him. To be honest, he was a better man for it, so I have been told by sources.

More accurately the article should be entitled: "David Cameron - With policies to follow his bike in the old pollutive car driven by all the familiar Conservative politicians behind him. The Tories Have Not Changed." I think this would represent a neutral position on the subject.

Hmm, possibly, though I'd imagine many British (let alone non-British) people couldn't even point to Eton on a map, let alone know there's a famous school there. It doesn't really do any harm leaving it in, and it helps to globalise the article IMO.
