Not done: Wikipedia does not publish the opinions of its editors. The label is based on reporting in reliable sources, many of which are provided in the inline citation right after the label. Actualcpscm (talk) 11:06, 10 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
It’s a bit of a circular argument though - most of those sources label her ‘far right’ with no obvious supporting evidence. The others refer to her ban from twitter, which again don’t show any obvious objective evidence that she conforms to a recognised definition of ‘far right’. 2A02:C7C:86D7:6800:C22:4EDE:143F:3C3B (talk) 17:36, 28 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I request the removal of the wording ‘Far Right’ to just political and social commentator when describing Katie Hopkins, as this term has tremendously strong connotations of extremism and fascism which would put Ms Hopkins along the same lines as mass murders such as the likes of Adolf Hitler and Joseph Stalin, this can be construed as character deformation.
I also have noticed that there is another example of something that can be connoted as bias and needs to be changed with the photograph you chose to represent Katie Hopkins, as instead of using a photograph from a professional photoshoot like most Wikipedia pages, the person who made this chose a photograph of Ms Hopkins while she was on a podcast in the middle of speaking, you should change this to a more appropriate and flattering photograph taken by a professional photographer in the years 2008-2015.
Please take action on these two issues immediately.
Not done Reliable sources -- many of them -- ID Hopkins as far right. This is well-cited in the article. So no. If you are unhappy with "far right" it seems your beef is with Hopkins' career choice rather than with Wikipedia. -- M.boli (talk) 16:14, 3 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Forbes labels her as "Far-Right" here. It says: "Hopkins was fired from her job at LBC, and reported to the police, after using Nazi rhetoric in calling for the “final solution” in a tweet after the 2017 Manchester Arena bombing." That's not "obvious supporting evidence"? Martinevans123 (talk) 07:10, 30 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
It's the five WP:RS sources in the first sentence of the article that label her "far right". Wikipedia just reports what those sources say. If you don't understand that's the way this project works, I'm not really sure Wikipedia would want your imaginary donation. If you think this is all "wokery", I guess that's your problem.
