Talk:Eamon Broy

Politics.ie Wiki article
The politics.ie wiki has a fairly decent if unsourced article on this man, but I can't find any information about it's copyright status. Until that information is found, we can't use the material. I'll send an e-mail and see if that pulls up anything. Snoutwood (talk) 15:35, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

Hello there, mates. Is anyone farmiliar with the copyright status of the politics.ie wiki? I searched all over their site for a copyright notice, and couldn't find one. The reason I'm bringing this up is that someone copied their article on Eamon Broy to ours (see here), which I reverted due to the potential copyvio. However, if anyone's familiar with the site and knows it's PD or GFDL or something, then brilliant, we'll copy it over. Otherwise, I'll write 'em a letter. Thanks!

 * When their is doubt copyright should be assumed. Djegan 18:48, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Indeed so, hence the revert. Snoutwood (talk) 06:58, 1 July 2006 (UTC)
 * I think it's worth pointing out that there is an incredible amount of material on the politics.ie wiki that has been lifted from this site without any attribution or acknowlegment.--Damac 11:41, 1 July 2006 (UTC)
 * That wiki is run by and part of politics.ie and on their home page there is a clear copyright notice (bottom right), so we must assume the copyright covers all of thier site that includes their wiki too. Cheers ww2censor 12:52, 1 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Yep, you're right. Thanks very much! Snoutwood (talk) 16:03, 1 July 2006 (UTC)

Film Fictionalisation
"Neil Jordan's film Michael Collins (1996) inaccurately depicts Broy (played by actor Stephen Rea) as having been discovered, tortured and killed by the British."

In the South Bank Show documentary on the Michael Collins film, Neil Jordan states that the Broy character was actually a composition of three people rather than an accurate portrayal of Broy. 86.29.226.181 (talk) —Preceding comment was added at 12:55, 22 June 2008 (UTC)

Ned Broy
I understand removing the nickname from line 1 but it was part of his identity, and public discourse, and surely should appear within the article (which it now does not, not once)..? SeoR (talk) 12:15, 1 December 2021 (UTC)
 * It appears in the infobox. It it was "part of his identity", then should the article be moved to Ned Broy? Also, you could change the 'also called Edward Broy' to ' also called 'Ned Broy'. Spleodrach (talk) 19:12, 1 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Let me think about that. It definitely needs representation (beyond the infobox, which should primarily fit the body text). Let me have a look at a couple of decent sources. SeoR (talk) 23:26, 1 December 2021 (UTC)
