Charles Mason (Revolutionary)

  • Delete nn vanity page. and I would like to add that capitalists can not call themselves "revolutionaries" ! Revolución 16:48, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep A revolutionary is made so by the context in which he speaks, not by the content of his speech. El beatle 18:46, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)

  • Keep What? Vanity page? If you talk to those who know about these things in the UK, this is hardly a vanity page. This is a man who was imprisoned for a lengthy period of time for his beliefs, and has never fully recovered from his experiences. Talk to any genuine left-wing student at any of Britain's more 'academic' universities, and you'll find his name held in the highest esteem. It's mainly due to the UK's capitalist press that he's been almost excised from general political consciousness (such as it exists now in the UK) - not the case whilst the Morning Star (Socialist Worker) was still around. Is this yet another attempt by capitalist society to try to delete this hero of so many true socialists from ever having existed?
  • Delete. No albums yet. His wife was Shiraz and his daughter is Chardonnay. I suspect a hoax. --Idont Havaname 19:20, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • "His first music album (provisionally titled Bluff and Hokum)..." Delete. Unreferenced. --Tony Sidaway|Talk 20:02, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Replace , as unverifiable, with Charles Dixon of Mason-Dixon Line fame. Actually I'll do that myself. Keep.<s\>
    • Nevermind, I'm an idiot. Delete.--Scimitar 20:55, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep They ran a piece in the Guardian on him a while back, and he named his children after grapes purely because his wife already had a grape name.
    • This is User:62.252.224.17's first vote.
    • Comment: Fine, I looked on the Guardian website and didn't find him. They go back to 1998. --Tony Sidaway|Talk 22:58, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep actually met the guy after his release. Cool unfazed - inspirational Agitprop 22:53, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete, hoax, nonsense. RickK 23:17, Jun 1, 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete nn vanity. --Etacar11 00:40, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete nonsense vanity. JamesBurns 11:21, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep How many of those voting delete are in touch with true socialism? This guy is not into vanity.
  • Keep Is this just another attempt to rewrite history so that nobody knowsthe fight CM fought against oppression - looks that way to me.
  • Delete. Google doesn't have anything to say about the guy, (after filtering out Charles Dixon and misspellings of Charles Manson). Always ready to lend support in the fight against sockpuppets, (the sock puppet revolution will not be televised). func(talk) 00:02, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep I think there's a lot of supposition going on here. Maybe MI6 are still blocking the guy. Not fair to delete on such skimpy evidence. Suggest we leave it up.
  • Keep It shouldn't be the function of Wikipedia to try to blot out left-thinkers just because their politics don't fit in with current political fashion
  • Keep I agree. Wikipedia shouldn't support what appear to be attempts to politically censor out people who fall foul of the UK secret service
