14:0814:08, 21 March 2024 diff hist −12 Institute of Economic Affairs Deleted pejorative and redundant description. Next line describes that the IEA is associated with the "New Right" Tags: Manual revert Reverted Visual edit

14:1014:10, 9 March 2024 diff hist +24 Institute of Economic Affairs The next sentence already states that the IEA is associated with the New Right. Calling an organisation "left wing" or "right wing" is pejorative not descriptive. Tags: Reverted Visual edit

21:3821:38, 7 March 2024 diff hist +1,095 Institute of Economic Affairs More accurately described the former director general's actions. He did not offer cash. According to the article he bragged that he could introduce a potential supporter to policy makers. Tag: Visual edit

19:4219:42, 4 March 2024 diff hist +520 George Monbiot Undid revision 1210249399 by Cambial Yellowing (talk) Adding citations as to environmental campaigning as Monbiot's main contribution, showing the passionate activism by Monbiot in fighting for environmental causes, both as self-described in his webpage and instagram and by other sources, noting his devotion was so great that he ate insects and rats to stay alive and was stung almost to death by hornets.

15:1515:15, 25 February 2024 diff hist +362 George Monbiot Slight change of emphasis to correctly forefront Monbiot's importance. He is first and foremost an environmental activist who fights devotedly (to the point of inviting arrest) to advance the cause of reducing use of fossil fuels, re-wilding, abandoning modern farming techniques, and other causes for which he cares passionately. Being a writer/blogger/columnist/etc. is solely in service of his role as a campaigner. Tags: Reverted Visual edit

16:3416:34, 24 February 2024 diff hist +348 Institute of Economic Affairs Undid revision 1209624474 by Cambial Yellowing (talk). Cambial Yellowing is attempting to delete factual, documented information in favour of a pejorative characterisation. The terms 'left-wing' and 'right-wing' are divisive generalisations that are often incorrect (https://www.dictionary.com/e/words-divide-us/). In this case, only editorial critics use the term and the BBC style manual considers it inappropriate. Tags: Undo Reverted nowiki added

10:4710:47, 9 August 2023 diff hist −12 Institute of Economic Affairs Eliminated the redundancy in the sentence. The sentence already says the think tank is "associated with the New Right" so saying it is right-wing is like saying, 'the tall man is a carpenter who is known for being tall."

14:0414:04, 7 August 2023 diff hist −36 Institute of Economic Affairs Removed the editorial use of 'right wing' and 'pressure group' as such terms are pejorative assessments by journalist arguing against the IEA. The BBC has agreed that it will not use such terms as they are not factual or accurate. Thus BBC style guide is that the IEA is to be referred to as a free market think tank because that is what it is. Tags: Reverted Visual edit
08:4608:46, 7 August 2023 diff hist +72 Institute of Economic Affairs changed the wording to be accurate rather than editorial. Previous language inaccurately suggested that the material published did not recognise climate change. That is not true. The materials agree that there is climate change, but note the inaccuracies in the modelling and suggest that if the changes are caused by human activity, the best response would be innovation.
