is it appropriate to use the term "center-left"?

in the infobox the Guardian is characterized as "center-left", though the source that is attached to the link describe it as left-wing. If it is a mistake, it should be corrected. Multiple academic sources characterize the Guardias=n as left-wing too Wfcebfyhjsdw (talk) 18:43, 23 November 2023 (UTC)

also in the last three general elections the Guardian has endorsed the Labour party, that should also added into the main page Wfcebfyhjsdw (talk) 18:47, 23 November 2023 (UTC)

Firstly, it's Centre-left, not Center-left. That spelling difference is important. "Center" is the spelling in the USA, a country with a very different view on where the centre is from most other western nations. Secondly, the description in the Infobox has multiple sources, not just one. I see none that describe it as left-wing (although at least one is behind a paywall). They all seem somewhat imprecise in their categorisation of the paper. HiLo48 (talk) 23:08, 23 November 2023 (UTC)

A Guardian editor has admitted to being center-left. Your projections at American politics is irrelevant to that. 69.113.233.201 (talk) 15:59, 10 February 2024 (UTC)

Since 2004, we have had a separate article for The Guardian's website, TheGuardian.com. I'd argue these are not sufficiently separate topics, that there's not so much there that couldn't be merged here, and the result is a second article on effectively the same subject, but rarely updated and with a tenth of the watchers. — Rhododendrites ^talk \\ 23:17, 9 December 2023 (UTC)

I agree; these articles should be merged. GnocchiFan (talk) 17:18, 10 December 2023 (UTC)

I also agree. I don't see a reason for these two articles to be separate. Seems like a lot of overlap. Eric Schucht (talk) 00:19, 20 December 2023 (UTC)

Yes, they should be merged. 178.120.71.47 (talk) 01:28, 25 December 2023 (UTC)

Same reason. They are the same title. TheGreatestLuvofAll ( chat with me ) 18:26, 28 December 2023 (UTC)

Agreed - think they are editorially the same, no other major newspaper has this distinction (i.e. no separate article for thetimes.co.uk). Chichickov (talk) 16:27, 5 January 2024 (UTC)

Are they editorially the same? If so, were they always the same? If so, yes, merge, but if not I'm not so sure. The way this article is phrased is ambiguous. PARAKANYAA (talk) 18:48, 6 January 2024 (UTC)
