Talk:Campbell Case

Taking a crack at a rewrite

I'm going to take a pop at getting this from stub form into something passable. Feel free to chime in with concerns, obviously.

Hi comrades (as I can assume most editors here are), To bring this to Good Article status:

• Prelude needs notice of
  1. The election of the Labour government
  2. Its minority status, and the weakness of a minority government in Westminster
  3. The status of the CPGB, the main line in the party, if Cambpell held the main line or a minority (ultraleftist) position
  4. Relationship to the Great Strike / structure of rank-and-file / spontaneous left-working class dissent
  5. Reaction in conservative / liberal / labour press
  6. Calls for prosecution
  7. Any charges
  8. Any proceedings held
• Context and importance of no-confidence in Westminster
• Aftermath makes clear that the issue of Ultraleftism (in its Leninist parlance) is at stake. Why no introduction of what ultraleftism in the British context (cough, Pankhurst, cough) is?
• Needs far more citations from a larger variety of sources. Maybe "British politics between the wars" type texts?
• Needs Communist Internationale context
• Needs context and importance of Zinoviev letter
• Language is decently npov
• Quotes are overspaced?
• Picture lacks alt tag? Picture of a CPGB rally from period? Picture of the Labour PM?

I was asked to do a "drive-by" review by a fellow-worker.Fifelfoo (talk) 14:19, 28 September 2009 (UTC)
