is[edit]

is this the same thing that Rights of the Terminally Ill Act 1996 was talking about or are there two different laws passed in consecutive years? Morwen - Talk 07:46, 13 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

According to this government site, the Act was passed in 1995 and amended in 1996, which might be the source of the confusion. I'd recommend merging the 1996 article into this one. --Delirium 11:37, 19 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Done. --Delirium 14:46, 21 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Merge from Bob Dent?[edit]

It has been suggested that Bob Dent may be merged here. See Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Bob Dent. - Nabla (talk) 15:55, 2 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hmm, as the article stands now it'd make sense to merge, but some of the comments on the AfD page suggest that Dent's role was larger than just being the first person to die under the act, and involved being basically the public face of the legislation. If true, then I'd say keep as a separate article and expand instead. Don't feel strongly either way though. --Delirium (talk) 16:43, 2 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Even if he had a larger involvement, most likely the part with encyclopedic value of his life story will be only connected to this. So I agree with merging (but I know nothing more than the articles say). - Nabla (talk) 20:06, 2 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned references in Rights of the Terminally Ill Act 1995[edit]

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Rights of the Terminally Ill Act 1995's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 16:10, 24 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
