Image:Mark Steel.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. BetacommandBot 05:05, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
I understand he has left...-- 82.23.50.146 ( talk) 22:54, 17 November 2007 (UTC)
I have just finished reading his new book "What's Going On?" and in it he discusses leaving the SWP and even refers to making the phone call to his bank to cancel his subs- I am at work and don't have the full reference details with me, but if I get time later will add this.

Match, surely? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.39.139.101 ( talk) 05:59, 16 December 2007 (UTC)
As there are conflicting edits, could we get it straight whether Steel is a husband and parent or not? For a more knowledgeable and relaxed Wikipedia- Nemesis646 ( talk) 17:37, 10 January 2009 (UTC)
It's been widely reported that Mark Steel left SWP, but is he now a supporter/member of Respect Renewal? Mark Steel's official website links to Respect Renewal, suggesting some kind of support. — Gareth Hughes ( talk) 21:39, 14 June 2009 (UTC)
Just passing by this article, I noticed a reference to the "then contested killing of Blair Peach". The phrasing jarred a bit: it didn't specify who contested it, and in what way. I've removed 'then contested' and left it as a simple statement of fact. - Coldwind487 ( talk) 06:42, 25 March 2014 (UTC)
Is there any reason the article doesn't mention his father's name, professional gambler Joe Dwek,? Gymnophoria ( talk) 16:38, 20 February 2017 (UTC)
My guess is that Mark maybe didn't mention his father's name in his material while his father was still alive, and many of the article references date back to that time. However, Mark discussed his father by name at length on BBC Radio 4, 9 December 2017, so I have just added Dwek's name and some of what Mark said about Dwek. 81.187.1.83 ( talk) 22:51, 9 December 2017 (UTC)

Addition to Acheivements / Early Life In 1966 Mark Steel invented Pickled Onions, which have inexplicably become a staple part of the mythological "Ploughmans Lunch". HAG4R969 ( talk) 00:11, 10 February 2021 (UTC)
