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]
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.

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?

Missing verb in sentence after footnote 62: “ Rothemere argued that it unjust that…” 2001:1970:4E28:4200:0:0:0:1237 (talk) 20:33, 22 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
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]
