Talk:John McMichael

Article is missing vital information

Article needs to mention McMichael's birthdate and birthplace which can be added to the infobox.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 15:42, 29 November 2010 (UTC)

I have discovered his birthplace and approximate year of birth, however a precise DOB would be nice.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 12:24, 27 March 2011 (UTC)

I have since discovered his precise DOB and have added it to the article.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 06:53, 28 August 2011 (UTC)

Citations missing

There are a lot of allegations which need inline citations to reliable sources as the lack of such clearly undermines the credibility of the entire article.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 16:18, 14 March 2011 (UTC)

Ten days have passed without the requested citations having been added. If nobody provides a reliable source to back up the two allegations about McMichael having plotted a bombing campaign in Dublin, I shall remove them after four days. If something doesn't have a source, it didn't happen.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 13:24, 24 March 2011 (UTC)

The requested references have since been added. The article looks good!--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 08:20, 27 March 2011 (UTC)

Which IRA brigade carried out killing?

Which IRA brigade planted the bomb? The article on Sean Savage doesn't give the brigade he belonged to.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 08:32, 29 August 2012 (UTC)

Military Career?

The military career segment in the info box is misleading and suggests that Mr McMichael was a member of the British State forces. I propose that the info box be changed from military career to paramilitary career as this is correct terminology for anyone who is a member of a pseudo military force that is not sanctioned by any state. I would also propose that the union flag be removed from this section of the info box as the organisation Mr McMichael was a member of was not a regiment or division of the British military. This would be in keeping with the descriptions of members of other paramilitary organisations in other Wikipedia pages. Captainbeecher (talk) 22:22, 18 February 2016 (UTC)
