"In answer to someone linking an article by the BBC referring to Islamic State, "IS" , "Isil" or "ISIS" eleven times , without once using a "so-called" or"self-styled" qualification, Keith answers with it is BBC policy to qualify "Islamic State" as "self-styled" or "so called" from Dave the Gnome (original emphasis lost)

No, the only use of Islamic State was an idirect quote from Obama in the first sentence. Over half of the references to IS or Isil where direct or indirect quotes. Not using it the other few times would have made it harder to read and run the risk of a reader (particularly one who was mentally transalting) thinking the reference was to something else.

And Keith never said they qualified IS anyway.

You guys would be better at arguing with Keith if you paid attention. The way this reads rather than his link to the editiorial guidelines making me think "Keith was right on this one" I am thinking "Keith wins".
