News International and the hypocritical anti-paedophile campaign

Someone at News International saw fit to remove criticism of the News of the World's anti-paedophile campaign by deleting the suggestion that this amounted to editorial hypocrisy. The original entry reminded readers that the paper continued to "publish semi-nude photographs of page three models as young as 16 and salacious stories about female celebrities younger than that."

Hi, can you provide a semi-accurate date of the removal? Sheps999 (talk) 15:35, 7 July 2011 (UTC)

Don't worry, didn't read the NOTW article before posting. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sheps999 (talk • contribs) 16:01, 7 July 2011 (UTC)

Written, or printed?

The Operations section says:

"Until 2010, these newspapers were written at a large site in Wapping in east London, near Tower Hill, which earned the nickname "Fortress Wapping" after a fierce dispute with the union to which the workforce had previously belonged. The printing of the papers is now undertaken at plants in Waltham Cross, Knowsley, and Lanarkshire (the latter said by Rupert Murdoch, on the plant's opening in 2007, to be "the largest and fastest print press in the world").[13]"

Should "written" be "printed" instead? I can't tell from the source given, if Wapping was the printing press location. David10244 (talk) 16:22, 29 April 2023 (UTC)

More history/rewrite

The various sections are out of chronological order, and there is somewhat more history than given here.
