This to be exact. Total bullshit and POV pushing in the most part. "The IRA killed 91 civilians in similar attacks in 1974-76, in reprisal for loyalist attacks on Catholics" - no. Source says "Deliberate killings of Protestant civilians. 91 of these killings occurred during the three years 1974-1976. The IRA used a nom de guerre - Republican Action Force (RepAF) - to claim responsibility for some of these killings during this period". Therefore to remove Protestant is totally inappropriate. "Two female pedestrians passed by the pub when it was blown up and they were fired on with a machine gun - killing both". Source says "One of the IRA prisoners is a Brendan McFarlane, who blew up the Bayardo bar in the Shankill Road some years ago. Three women shoppers passed by the pub when it was blown up and he used a machine gun on them and killed them". So while technically it should be three, it's staying as it was. And that's not some unionist talking, that's Gerry Fitt. "The kidnap was one of spate of kidnappings and robberies in the early 1980s to raise funds" - no. The source says they were AC authorised. There are no "Poorly researched and unsubstantiated allegations", only an attempt to distort or remove sourced content, with no sources to suggest anything different.

 * Also Protestant Shankill Road, Catholic Falls Road, roads seem pretty religious to me.... One Night In Hackney  303  16:56, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

Northern Ireland
User 213.234.115.100 'Fixed content so it respects the values of the man the page is about'. See Manual_of_Style/Ireland-related_articles - "For people who were born, lived or died in Northern Ireland after 1922 use "Northern Ireland", which will not normally be linked and should never be pipelinked." I have reverted the article accordingly. Alekksandr (talk) 22:22, 23 August 2019 (UTC)

Allegedly
Prior to 30 July 2019, the article stated 'the bar was attacked because it was allegedly frequented by member of the loyalist Ulster Volunteer Force (UVF).' User 213.234.115.100 removed the word 'allegedly' on the basis that 'It was not allegedly frequented by loyalist paramilitaries; it is a fact backed by statements, documents and other evidence.', but did not provide a citation to any of them. I have therefore reverted the edit. If anyone wishes to reinstate it, can they provide a citation when doing so? Thanks in advance. Alekksandr (talk) 22:22, 23 August 2019 (UTC) The article

Provisional IRA
The Provisional IRA didn't exist before December 1969, so he couldn't possibly have joined it in the summer of 1969. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.105.206.216 (talk) 15:28, 21 June 2020 (UTC)
