Are we certain...[edit]

...that it's the same Walter Sweeney as once stood for the Tories? The only reference listed in this article is dated 1997, so I think we need a by-election specific one. 86.132.139.228 (talk) 19:45, 26 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Walter Edward Sweeney is on the ballot paper, living at Beverley. Must be him Sweeney RodCrosby (talk) 19:53, 26 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Why did he stand against? Do we have any idea on his policies or such? If so can someone please sumarise them on the paage? EchetusXe (talk) 13:37, 11 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Infobox Date of Birth[edit]

I have added his correct date of birth (and sourced it). But for some reason his infobox insists on not reflecting the 23 April 1949 that I have tried to enter - can someone please address this? Thanks Laker1956 (talk) 17:27, 3 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
