Error warning

Hello - under 'successful libel' - 2019, 2021 the initials AP occur. That's the Associated Press not the Mail's publisher, Associated Newspapers Ltd. I'll correct in a while unless there's some good reason.Thelisteninghand (talk) 17:21, 8 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Daily Hate

As The Times is known by the nickname The Thunderer, and The Guardian as The Grauniad, I'm surprised no mention is made of the Mail's popular sobriquet of The Daily Hate; especially as so much criticism of its more objectionable content is listed in voluminous detail. Nuttyskin (talk) 09:59, 15 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

It's a fairly obscure nickname. I was unable to find it mentioned in any reliable sources. The Daily Fail is much more common, but not as much as The Grauniad. TFD (talk) 16:36, 15 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
So were is this going? The lede of other similar, tho a little more notorious tabloids, like Bild, are different than this one, aren't they? Daily Mail is a little better than Bild, but other language wikipedias like fr.wiki are more objective. The newspaper is still sensationalist and populist, a majority (majority, despite some disagreeing) of reliable sources say so at least. How about we change the lede?

Cite of uco.edu

Unnecessarily, on 2 April 2023, supported the designation "Right-wing" by adding a cite of uco.edu, tagging the edit as minor and adding edit summary = "Adding/improving reference(s)". I reverted with edit summary = "... don't see how the cited source directly supports the text". Unnecessarily, without going to the talk page, re-inserted with edit summary = "Academic source, more reliable than fringe journals. Adding/improving reference(s))". It's false that it's an "academic source", the cited uco.edu (University of Central Oklahoma) page has a label showing the chart is from Ad Fontes Media in 2022. And it's false that Ad Fontes says Daily Mail is right-wing, their 2023 edition does not have Daily Mail in its "skews right" etc. columns. Therefore I believe Unnecessarily's insertion should be removed again. Any other opinions? Peter Gulutzan (talk) 13:59, 17 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

If you feel that opinion pieces in Feminist Media Studies, Critical Discourse Studies, and The Political Quarterly are better sources, then feel free to delete anything I added. I will not be offended.Unnecessarily (talk) 14:07, 17 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Or, do you think the label should be changed from "right-wing"Unnecessarily (talk) 14:13, 17 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I don't feel they are better sources so I can't meet your condition for agreeing to removal of your insertion. I again ask whether there are other opinions about it. Peter Gulutzan (talk) 15:14, 18 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
There were no further comments. I have reverted. I suggest that WP:3O exists, if there is desire to continue this. Peter Gulutzan (talk) 16:28, 15 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I suppose it is more important to limit different viewpoints, so I will leave it at that Unnecessarily (talk) 18:03, 18 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
