Smith is standing in a heated leadership election and this article may become prone to vandalism and agenda-driven editing. It should be semi-protected to prevent anonymous users from editing without scrutiny. At least until the leadership election ends. Note that his opponents' articles have been protected to a greater degree. -- Hazhk ( talk) 00:12, 18 July 2016 (UTC)
My note below may not be relvant since the edit by anonymous has been reverted, I believe. Peter K Burian ( talk) 19:43, 19 July 2016 (UTC)
Someone deleted a large section (below) and replaced it with a short sentence about his being left wing but without any citation to prove the point. Is this appropriate?
This was deleted: He has been described as being on the ' soft left' of the Labour Party, with Kevin Maguire of the Daily Mirror noting Smith's politics "largely overlap when it comes to policy" with Jeremy Corbyn's. [1] On 19 July 2016, Smith had been one of two candidates contesting the party leadership of Jeremy Corbyn; the other candidate, Angela Eagle withdrew, leaving Smith as the only challenger to Corbyn.

In regards to the section on political positions, the following additions could be included:
1) "[Under the "Economic Issues" heading] In regards to tax, Smith has promised to reverse cuts in Corporation Tax due to take place up until 2020 whilst reversing the cuts made to Capital Gains Tax and Inheritance Tax in the Summer Budget."
2) "[Under the "Employment" heading] In his 2016 leadership bid, Smith released proposals for policies aimed at improving workers rights such as a repeal of the 'Trade Unions Act' and a commitment to ensure workers’ representation on remuneration committees. Smith also proposed replacing the current Department of Work and Pensions with a new 'Ministry for Labour' and a revived Department for Social Security."

That reads to me as if Corbyn is also one of the "soft left" of the Labour Party, which he isn't generally considered. Quite a few articles ( The Independent, The Guardian, The Telegraph) from before the last Labour leadership election use the term "soft left" to distinguish Smith from Corbyn. The reference used for that sentence in the lead, The Daily Mirror, doesn't use the term "soft left" at all. Seems like the sentence is a bit misleading. -- Inops ( talk) 12:17, 4 August 2018 (UTC)
