I am the subject of this page. It has been edited by people seeking to advance their specific political agenda, using me as a football. Neither of the authors cited referrring to my views about the Euro has ever contacted me to check what - in 2011 - my views actually are. The section on my political views was drafted on the basis of an inaccurate Daily Mail article, whose errors were pointed out to the newspaper. I believe this Wikipedia entry to be so biased as to be misleading. I have therefore deleted one section and made minor corrections to other sections. I would ask other editors to respect this; if anybody wishes to comment on my views on the Euro, I would ask them to have the integrity to contact me to find out what they are. Thank you.

I have added some balancing comments and supporting citation. The publications (tabloid newspapers) concerned have failed to correct the articles cited in this entry, despite being asked to do so. I would ask that the politically-motivated person or people repeatedly editing my entry in this misleading cease doing so. Not only do they not know what my views are, it is highly misleading to suggest that I have any editorial influence over BBC coverage. DC Diane1859 ( talk) 15:27, 28 November 2011 (UTC)
Just a note to mention that this is also under discussion at WP:BLPN - Diane, I've added a couple of questions for you there. -- Demiurge1000 ( talk) 16:42, 28 November 2011 (UTC)
As noted at WP:BLP/N, I've removed the entire Political views section due to BLP concerns. The only 'political view' cited was a single twelve-year-old quotation, cherry-picked to look bad in the context of the current euro crisis (and a violation of WP:UNDUE). Given that the biography's subject is an economist who has published five whole books (I'm assuming that those published works listed are books; please correct me if I'm mistaken) since then, we ought to be able to come up with something a bit more comprehensive than that. The remainder of the section wasn't about her political views, but was a WP:COATRACK for presenting a right-wing think tank's pamphlet. Come on, Wikipedia—we can do better.

A) is there a source for this, and B) is this good encyclopedic info? Seems like it's a bit too personal. If her salary was a matter of public debate, maybe. The Interior (Talk) 22:05, 28 November 2011 (UTC)

Diane Coyle got in touch with me (I know her husband Rory a bit - met him when I was doing press for Wikipedia last decade!) asking how to fix inaccuracies in the entry. Fortunately, being a contact for BLP problems is something I do :-) Here's her concerns:
