[edit] MP for Seaham
This article said that Webb was elected as MP for Seaham at the 1923 general election. However, a Google search throws up conflicting results:
- Schoolnet says 1923,
- Rayment says it was the 1923 general election
- LSE website says 1922.
- The AIM25 archives site says 1923
- archiveshub says 1922
- the Concise Britannica says 1922.
For now, I have taken the Concise Britannica as the most reputable of these sources, and edited the article to say 1922, but has anyone got a more definitive reference? --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 18:08, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
- Doesn't Rayment say 1922? - Crosbiesmith 18:55, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] attacked by Trotsky
It might be worth mentioning that the Webbs are seen by Trotsky as a canonical example of well-meaning but confused pro-Soviet foreigners— their works get attacked frequently in The Revolution Betrayed in particular. --Delirium 05:03, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
