This article should be moved to John_Mark_Lancaster to make it more correct given that it is his birthname Froo.au ( talk) 12:16, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
User:Bbcbbcdddddd and User:Bastin are engaged in an edit war with very terse explations for their reasons in doing so. Would they please use this space to justify their positions so that other users can comment and hopefully reach consensus. Immediately and before any other edits to the article, would they each review the Wikipedia policies WP:Bio and WP:3RR. -- John Maynard Friedman ( talk) 00:27, 30 May 2009 (UTC)
I think 'Springbrook' should read more newspapers. The Personal life section is accurate. Maybe he should take some time to do some proper research - and also not slate tabloid newspapers in such a way.
I always thought Wikipedia was for relevant information only. Therefore character assassination, personal deformation etc should not be included. Do onto others as you would have others do onto you and all.
I don't know the first thing about UK politics, except that you are still a backwater Monarchy or something, being Yankee scum, myself. I've shrunk the section in a way similar to how I'd do the same to a US politician - if the scandal was unique to the individual, or was highly linked to the individual, it should be mentioned in the article about the indiviudal, otherwise it's appropriate for a more general article. If I removed too much, or too little, I welcome you Royalists telling me about how your angry-yelling political system works, and why some other info should/should not be included.

Ridiculous to say that Lancaster was implicated in the British Council row which was all about not declaring trips as Lancaster clearly declared his trip the day he returned with the electoral commission as can be seen on their website www.electoralcommission.com —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bonsortj ( talk • contribs) 21:32, 27 June 2009 (UTC)

As the topic heading clearly states 'personal life' then clearly that relates to said person's personal life whether the person works as a politician or a fireman. This person's entry should not be exempt from including highly relevant, accurate information about the said person - as do thousands of other Wikipedia entries. It appears that people's political persuasions are coming to the fore here and must stop. There is no ruling that says accurate information, be it personal or otherwise should not be included. It is highly relevant information which is in the public domain there should be no exeptions to the rule and everyone should be allowed the same treatment irrespective of class, race or gender.
Editors are kindly reminded that Wikipedia is about facts and not about political persuasion. The recent unadulterated edits were blatent attempts at glossing over the truth and cherry-picking events. I have made genuine edits relation to facts with the correct citations. Editors are reminded to refer to (Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons) before making political edits that bear no relation to reality and are unnecessary to the page. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Alcyrty ( talk • contribs) 14:49, 7 July 2009 (UTC)
Would editors please refer to Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons before editing this article. Some recent material was little more than prurient tabloid gossip, which is why I edited it heavily. -- John Maynard Friedman ( talk) 12:26, 6 July 2009 (UTC)
Note: The source cited says "18 month" and does not say "2007 - 2009" and also says specifically the affair was after the separation -- I would ask that this be corrected in the article. WP says to use thw actual cite and not to make statements not directly sourceable to the cite. I am also concerned that the baby is not relevant to the BLP in and of itself, even if we allow the mention of the affair after separation.

Mphammer (who might be another sockpuppet) has made a better edit ( diff) to the page, re-adding some of the expense parts, and I think it's mostly good. Although the British Council Trip is more about Michael Martin than Lancaster, I've got no strong opinion about inclusion. -- h2g2bob ( talk) 15:29, 23 July 2009 (UTC)
