Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Sir Edmond Townsend, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Gurkha Regiment (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver).

I have requested that this 'article for creation request page' be deleted as the article has already been created IanBrumpton

Duncan McNair
No, I quite like the article and I am glad it was not deleted. It's just that the following text may need better sourcing:"In 2011 McNair acted for the successful third party interveners in A, B & C –v- Republic of Ireland, before the Grand Chamber of the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR). It is a landmark case in which the court dismissed a wide range of complaints by A, B and C claiming lack of access to abortion facilities in Ireland. The court upheld only one complaint brought by the Claimants as to breach by Ireland of Article 8 ECHR (Right to Privacy), finding that Ireland had violated the Convention by failing to provide clear information on whether a woman was entitled to an abortion under prevailing Irish law. In light of the ABC case, the Irish Government introduced the Protection of Life During Pregnancy Bill to state the circumstances in which abortion in Ireland could be legally performed. This passed into law in July 2013."

Also, please make sure you are not just copying/pasting text. The text must be written so as to avoid any copyright infringement (not to be a hypocrite I must confess I made the same mistakes when I was a newer editor than I am now), even if that means your rewording it, unless it is a direct quote and the source properly referenced. Yours, Quis separabit?  15:26, 21 October 2013 (UTC)


 * I have fixed the Duncan McNair article as best I could. Please review the new version, and try to note the kind of editing/revising to which I am referring. Yours again, Quis separabit?  15:38, 21 October 2013 (UTC)

Thanks I'll look into this tomorrow morning IanBrumpton

Robin McNair cause of death

 * Thanks. The "Disease-related deaths in [wherever]" is just a container category for those individuals who died from natural causes (i.e. not unnatural causes such as murder, assassination, road accident, place crash, drug overdose, etc.) in a known location but the exact cause or illness or disease is unclear or undisclosed. Quis separabit?  17:29, 12 November 2013 (UTC)


 * Oops. I just checked the diff and have no idea what edit you made, aside from removing, again, the container category. I re-restored it. Please don't remove again as I don't think you understand this container category as described above. No hard feelings. Yours, Quis separabit?  17:56, 12 November 2013 (UTC)

Understood thx! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.23.55.59 (talk) 18:39, 12 November 2013 (UTC)

Categories for Robin McNair
First, you did not remove the category; I just checked. Second, if he died of a heart attack (which you will need to source) then just change Category:Disease-related deaths in England to Category:Cardiovascular disease deaths in England, and add Category:Deaths from myocardial infarction. Yours, Quis separabit?  16:29, 18 November 2013 (UTC)

Removal of categories re Robin McNair
1) First, you have to remember to sign your posts, using ~ ! Quis separabit?  17:25, 3 December 2013 (UTC)

2) Second, if Robin McNair died of a stroke then that is the cause of death. If that is not the correct cause of death, that is another matter. In any event, if the son insists and has a valid reason, then he should contact an OTRS administrator, such as User:Lexein, and explain the whole matter. There is no reason to involve me any longer. I must say, Ian, that, based on your edit history, your sole interest on Wikipedia appears to be maintaining the Robin McNair and Duncan McNair articles. If this is the case then it seems you have increasingly little to contribute. I hope I am wrong. Quis separabit?  17:25, 3 December 2013 (UTC)


 * (Just FYI, I'm actually not an OTRS admin, I'm just an editor with some experience interacting with them.) I'm not here to get involved, but OTRS has informed me that they don't get involved in deceased persons' biography disputes., I strongly encourage doing one of the following: provide reliably sourced published evidence about any disputed information, or remove it from the article. When in doubt, leave it out. --Lexein (talk) 17:45, 3 December 2013 (UTC)
