I'm a Celeb[edit]
Should this be mentioned in the lead? Pinging @Martinevans123 per his edit summary. I've no real view on it, but if it's included it shouldn't stick out like it currently is doing. Tim O'Doherty (talk) 22:05, 11 December 2023 (UTC)
- It sticks out in a similar way in the lead section of
Nick HancockMatt Hancock, not so much at Nadine Dorries and Kezia Dugdale. Perhaps there will soon come a day when all MPs will be obliged to compete. Until that day comes, I think it's notable and thus lead-worthy. One might argue that Farage's alleged fee of up to £1.5 million makes it even more notable. Happy to hear what other editors think. Martinevans123 (talk) 22:14, 11 December 2023 (UTC)- Nick Hancock? Sure, he nicked someone else's wife, but for now, "Matt"'ll probably do ;) Tim O'Doherty (talk) 22:25, 11 December 2023 (UTC)
- "They Think It's All Over.... it will be if Nigel gets hold of them." (?) Martinevans123 (talk) 18:42, 12 December 2023 (UTC)
- Following his very cheeky contribution, perhaps his appearance deserves to be right at the bottom? As disturbing as George Galloway's Big Brother cat antics. Martinevans123 (talk) 15:07, 10 January 2024 (UTC)

Edit the other political affiliations section on the infobox to include the Anti-Federalist League from 1992–1993. Currently, the infobox states that Farage was a member of the Conservatives until 1993, this is incorrect and also contradicts the body of the article.[1][2][3]

Now that Farage is leader again, and the name of the party in the infobox has been changed to reflect that, I would suggest changing the note from:
"The party was renamed Reform UK in January 2021 and Farage led the renamed party until March 2021."
to
"The party was named the Brexit Party from its founding in November 2018 to January 2021, when it was renamed Reform UK. Farage led the renamed party until March 2021." 195.213.249.33 (talk) 16:35, 3 June 2024 (UTC)
- Disregard, no longer necessary. 195.213.249.33 (talk) 17:46, 3 June 2024 (UTC)

Change June 2024 to June 3rd 2024 2A02:C7C:5802:DA00:B1BC:8200:9238:703 (talk) 00:19, 4 June 2024 (UTC)
- Not done: The infobox says the date he became party leader already, I'm not sure that the lead needs that clarification. Irltoad (talk) 07:54, 4 June 2024 (UTC)
New picture for Farage?[edit]
The picture of Farage in the infobox is 6 years old, there isn't much in the public domain but there is a 2020 picture from Gage Skidmore:
Dingers5Days (talk) 18:18, 5 June 2024 (UTC)
- I think the previous 2018 image was better quality. I feel this image has him too focused away from the body of the article, which should generally be discouraged. It would probably be better to wait as there will possibly be more images emerging during the election campaign. (and, if he were to be elected, an official portrait) 148.252.146.70 (talk) 09:45, 6 June 2024 (UTC)
- Okay, I will revert the edit; I agree that we may get a better one during the campaign. Dingers5Days (talk) 15:21, 6 June 2024 (UTC)
