Sarah Baxter wrote an article in the Sunday Times on 30 April 2017 called "Wikipedia won’t break real news, just tweak it" (https://www.thetimes.co.uk/edition/comment/wikipedia-wont-break-real-news-just-tweak-it-m6jc3pg3j) in which she comments about Wikipedia: "The site is to offer news but is unreliable." In particular she comments that "Whoever compiled my Wikipedia entry clearly thinks my position on the Iraq War is the most interesting thing about me." She also comments that she is described as a “lifelong Labour Party voter” which she said in 2004 but since then there have been three general elections and a fourth very soon but "I may or may not have voted Labour in them. Nobody has asked me for an update and I might not tell them anyway." I think she makes some good comments about her article and Wikipedia not being as neutral as it claims and how it cannot be relied on to give an unvarnished objective view in its articles. I think this article on Sarah Baxter is a poor one and should be re-writtenSylviaStanley (talk) 07:45, 30 April 2017 (UTC)Reply
