Indeed, tellingly, the word 'anti-Semitism' does not appear on Jeremy Corbyn's own extensive Wikipedia page, despite the fact that it has been a defining issue of his leadership tenure.{{cite news}}: CS1 maint: deprecated archival service (link)

Sources come up online for his mother being a maths teacher, and for his father being an engineer (for GEC); nothing seems to come up with relation to his being an expert in power rectifiers. Where did this come from?

This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

Add that he is leader of Your Party in the infobox or at least the interim leader. Please change the infobox from its current state to this new state in which he is the leader. 148.88.245.200 (talk) 15:09, 7 October 2025 (UTC)Reply

Not done: it's not clear what changes you want to be made. Please mention the specific changes in a "change X to Y" format and provide a reliable source if appropriate.

Thanks for trying to improve the page, but edit requests need to be very obvious and sourced since volunteers usually don’t have a background in the topic.Slomo666 (talk) 16:19, 7 October 2025 (UTC)Reply

You also need to include the exact language you want added and the place you want it to be added to. meamemg (talk) 19:28, 7 October 2025 (UTC)Reply

Umm there is no exact language. Just add to the infobox that he the leader of this new party called Your Party in the interim.

His membership of the Socialist Campaign Group should be added to the additional political affiliations section of the infobox. Also, his membership of the Independent Alliance ended in 2026, not 2025, so that should be changed as well. (Even though he is still basically more aligned with them than Zarah Sultana and is probably still considered a member) ~2026-41810-58 (talk) 20:05, 28 July 2026 (UTC)Reply

Latest comment: 21 days ago3 comments2 people in discussion

A recent edit to the infobox changed "Parliamentary Leader of Your Party" to "leader of Your Party in the the House of Commons." This should be reverted. His official title in Your Party is "Parliamentary Leader". It was correct before. ~2026-47077-00 (talk) 12:36, 12 September 2026 (UTC)Reply

Furthermore, he is listed as "Parliamentary Leader" on the official Parliament website. Please change it back. ~2026-47077-00 (talk) 12:43, 12 September 2026 (UTC)Reply

Done, I'm not sure why it was changed but I've put it back now Pretzel Quetzal (talk) 15:28, 12 September 2026 (UTC)Reply
