Talk:Spiked (magazine)

• "Spiked is edited by Brendan O'Neill,[1] following Mick Hume's departure" is a grammatically incorrect sentence.
• "by the state or otherwise" is very poor English
• "They have criticised laws" does not agree in tense with "The magazine"
• "They have criticised laws" does not agree in tense with "and regularly features"

I could go on and on with further examples from the article.

My question is, if the article is written in such poor English, do you really believe that an intelligent and educated reader will give the article much credence, given the number of gramatical errors within the article, simply because it contains a large number of "citations"?

Maybe you should concern yourself more with assuring that articles are written in good English and less with whether an article contains (so-called) "correct citations"?

And maybe you should defer more to the opinions of one who copy-edits well, and who can write "good English," as that person is very likely to be well-educated (even highly educated) and intelligent as well? What do you think? User4 (talk) 20:15, 4 May 2016 (UTC)

Sometimes I wonder if you write stuff like this to try to antagonize me and we all know how well that worked out for you with Melf and the cogs. On the other hand, unlike them, I feel you have much to contribute and have many admirable qualities (even when I feel you are being quite disagreeable) As I did not write the majority of this entry as it was a cut and paste job from Wikipedia, I have nothing personally invested in it so if you wish to correct the language, feel free.--Etenne 20:39, 4 May 2016 (UTC)
