Neutrality concerns

I'm slightly concerned this article has been written with a skew towards favouring the subject, particularly given edits made by the same author to article like

What exactly is the material that you do not consider neutral?--74.12.195.248 (talk) 05:16, 2 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
It seems to me to be a very one sided article, and I came away not really knowing much more about One Nation Labour than I did before reading it. You seem quite keen to emphasise, through several quotes, the re-engagement with socialism, and that One Nation Labour and New Labour are two very different schools of thought, but what else is One Nation Labour about? What are its key policies? Who are its supporters and opponents? Is there no criticism of? Do you have any sources on public perception? This is an interesting topic, but needs a lot of development. I've mentioned it at

What I've written is that One Nation Labour uses the term more often, as the source attests to. But I've also written that like New Labour, it uses a non-conventional description of socialism. As for the source I used that uses the word "Socialism" in the title, it was one of a few sources available for viewing online that deeply looks into One Nation Labour, the title of the book is irrelevent for me, its content on One Nation Labour is what is relevent. From what I've written, from my perspective at least, it is not saying that they are two very different schools of thought, but that there are differences and Ed Miliband himself has attested to, and there are similarities. This article is in its early form, sources on One Nation Labour are still limited at this point. So I would agree that more content is needed, such as internal supporters and opponents of One Nation Labour like the article on New Labour addresses, but sources need to be found to include material on that.--74.12.195.248 (talk) 18:15, 4 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I have added material on policies.--74.12.195.248 (talk) 18:44, 4 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for getting back to me. Doing a quick Google search, I see this subject is discussed in several newspaper articles, which may be helpful here. I'll add what I can find below, and you can perhaps use a few to augment the article. I see you've edited a lot in the last few days. Have you considered

That seems to be pretty much everything for now, but I'll keep looking. The book, One Nation: Power, Hope, Community may also be worth a read if you can get hold of a coy.

Sources used in the article

I've taken a fresh look at this and have a few concerns that will need addressing in the long run if this is to be improved.

  • Much of the content seems to rely on two main sources. We really do need more. The links I added above should help there.
  • Of those two main sources, one (Labour.org) is a primary source, which should eventually be replaced by secondary material.
  • Hastings and Mason, and a couple of the other less used sources predate One Nation Labour by several years, something that could lead to
    original research
    issues.

One Nation Labour is a fairly new concept at present, so hopefully more material will become available over the coming months discussing its ethos. I guess a more in-depth analysis will occur as the 2015 election approaches, hopefully making it easier to expand this article.
