John Sweetman. Article on 2nd President of SF needs more footnotes, and appears to have been compiled largely from reports in The Times of London, which is hardly a neutral source on an Irish Republican.

"Allegedly" confessed

Will editors please stick to what the sources say, instead of their own opinion. Thanks. One Night In Hackney₃₀₃ 11:46, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

Do you support confessions produced by torture then, since that is the implication of leaving the wording the way it is. LiberalViews 11:59, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

No, I support accurately reporting what sources say. The source doesn't use the word allegedly, and gives detailed information about the situation. Thanks. One Night In Hackney₃₀₃ 12:01, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

Like many of the so-called "sources" that infect Rebublican articles, the views of Jack Holland and the Irish Echo hardly count as authoritative and independent. It's just as likely he fell over whilst planting an IED or shot himself. I think we need to get real here; these pages don't "belong" to Republicans, Misplaced Pages just doesn't work that way. At least it shouldn't; but your campaigns show it can be manipulated in that fashion by a determined group and at the moment, you are winning as the admins vacillate too much and are too weak to resist you all. Well done! LiberalViews 12:22, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

Jack Holland and the Irish Echo don't source the information about the tout. Next? One Night In Hackney₃₀₃ 12:27, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

"The tout"? Pardon? LiberalViews 12:45, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

The discussion above is about the tout, not the 47 stitches. I see you've still yet to retract your earlier false accusations, perhaps you'd like to do it now? If I'd really wanted to go overboard then I'd also have added all the information from John McGuffin's book (who's a Protestant, for the record), who says "They had captured Martin Meehan and Tony 'Dutch' Doherty, two of the most wanted local Provisionals. Both were severely beaten up and then tortured in Palace barracks". One Night In Hackney₃₀₃ 12:49, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

Unexpectedly

It's a POV term, perhaps the journalist in question expected Meehan to stand, but perhaps plenty more didn't. As such it'd need attributing, and it becomes a messy and unnecessary sentence to say something like "Meehan was overlooked by Sinn Féin, unexpectedly according to Belfast Telegraph journalist Noel McAdam, for the nomination in South Antrim, being replaced by Mitchel McLaughlin, who won a seat". It's really not that important to have the word in to extend the sentence in such an ugly way, so it's better off without it. One Night In Hackney₃₀₃ 13:50, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

shock move says Irish News SF retired Meehan says respected analyst It was unexpected and to not have it there is dishonest.Traditional unionist 13:58, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

It's not a case of dishonest, it's a case of importance. Both the Telegraph and Irish News seem to imply the shock or unexpected part is that McLaughlin was changing seats (to any other seat, not this one in particular), not necessarily that Meehan wasn't standing. The blog you've linked to (!?!!) doesn't say anything about it being a shock or unexpected. It's still a case of who it was unexpected to. Was it unexpected to SF voters or members? We'd need to say who it was unexpected to, and it makes an ugly sentence for an unnecessary qualifier. One Night In Hackney₃₀₃ 14:04, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

Its fair to assume its to the world out Sinn Fein's however many members in South Antrim. It is dishinest to omit to say it was dishonest.Traditional unionist 14:09, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

Again, the sources seem to lean more towards McLaughlin not contesting his existing seat and transferring to a different seat that was the unexpected part, not Meehan not standing per se. And sorry I prefer not to have assumptions in articles, we've been down this road before..... One Night In Hackney₃₀₃ 14:12, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

However, if you can suggest a tight piece of wording that takes my concerns into account, I've no objection to it going in the article. One Night In Hackney₃₀₃ 14:27, 4 November 2007 (UTC)
