[edit]

Can Reform be described as non-partisan? It clearly has strong links to the Conservative party - the user 212.23.15.234, originator of this wiki page made ammendments to the OUCA page. Also Blair Gibbs, Reform's crime researcher, is a previous president of the Oxford Univeristy Conservative society. And the cofounder, Nick Herbert, is a current Conservative MP. I don't know. If Reform say they're not they're not and they must know better than anyone. And they've signed up Frank Field, the former Labour MP. But can a clearly-partisan founder beget a non-partisan think tank? Anyway, this is my reasoning for editing the page to change it to "self-described non-partisan".

I feel this is a worthwhile edit, just as the creator of this page thought it worthwhile to point out that Prospect magazine is left-wing in The 2005 Global Intellectuals Poll. For the same reason I also point out that Reform is right-wing. Apologies for length, further comments invited. --129.67.116.39 00:46, 23 May 2006 (UTC) _____________________________________________________________________________[reply]

A description of 'Right-wing' (or 'Left-wing') implies that Reform supports one side of the political spectrum over the other. Perhaps George Monbiot feels that they are 'right-wing' but using his quote does reduce the impartiality of this page. As Reform now boasts Labour, Liberal and Conservative MPs as supporters and speakers etc. then I think it should be removed.

Fair use rationale for Image:Reform logo.jpg

[edit]

Image:Reform logo.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
