Talk:Dessie O'Hare

message: Anyone have a source for roughly when (and why) he left the IRA and joined the INLA? Thanks. One Night In Hackney303 23:48, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Never mind. States he was expelled by the IRA in the late 1970s. One Night In Hackney303 23:54, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Joining INLA

message: I've added to lead section, which should be a precis of the main article. I've taken out most of the headings, which interrupt the flow of the text. Last paragraph - I think this can be improved with more info from his spokesperson about his activities, and also Ahern's comments. Also needs a proper ref. Congratulations on very impressive-looking referencing throughout. Tyrenius 00:38, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks.  I was planning to sort out the lead once I'd finished everything else, and I'm still got more to add including the 2006 and Ahern comments. One Night In Hackney303 00:42, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Revisions

message: In my opinion the use of injuring in the lead doesn't go far enough, mutilating would be better in my opinion. It's a strong term but appropriate in my opinion, and it's also a sourced term. Any objections? One Night In Hackney303 02:40, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Agreed - did you find the article by a former colleague who described some of the murders? Some of the most extreme stuff I've read even by the standard of the troubles Weggie 09:48, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm happy enough with VK's addition of "severely", mutilating makes it sound a bit too much like a tabloid possibly.  Don't think I've seen the article, got a link please? One Night In Hackney303 18:58, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I've just put in the lead about cutting off two fingers. I think anything abstract leaves too much to the imagination, and makes it sound even worse than it already is. Tyrenius 02:05, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Fine by me, I re-wrote it slightly though. One Night In Hackney303 02:43, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Injuring

message: Please note the full citation details must appear first in the article, and then any other use with the short version must appear later. Short versions in the article before the full version will not work. I also suggest when naming refs to give a name that is easy to remember from the source referred to, e.g. the name for ref 1 could be "who". I'm actually not aware of any guidelines on naming, but if there are, please point me there. Tyrenius 02:09, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: They worked fine before, although I was planning to do that soon just not while parts were still being moved around and added. One Night In Hackney303 02:43, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

text: I know they worked fine for me, perhaps it's a browser thing? One Night In Hackney303 03:48, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Refs

message: I have removed this, as there is no explanation on this page as to why it's been added. It needs to be explained here so it can be discussed if necessary. Tyrenius 02:16, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: NPOV tag

message: I'm thinking about the Tony McKloskey story from this article, and possibly the SPG incident from 1978 from Bandit Country, for the benefit of Tyrenius who probably hasn't got a copy there's information about it here. Any opinions? One Night In Hackney303 06:53, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Assuming refs are sound, it seems an important part of someone's life to be nearly blown up (by the police). Tyrenius 03:11, 14 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I've added that to the article, I'll have a stab at McKloskey later when I'm feeling more creative. One Night In Hackney303 04:56, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

text: No, you haven't. You've changed sourced content to unsourced content, please do not do so again. One Night In Hackney303 22:18, 9 May 2007 (UTC)

text: I am not the author of this article. If you attempt to replace sourced information with original research you will be reverted, and if you attempt to continue inserting original research you may be blocked. One Night In Hackney303 19:36, 10 May 2007 (UTC)

text: And I would encourage you to take a less condescending tone. Simply because you do not agree with what the source says does not make it incorrect. One Night In Hackney303 20:09, 10 May 2007 (UTC)

text: Not relevant, unless the information has been published by a reliable source. One Night In Hackney303 20:14, 10 May 2007 (UTC)

text: Yup, I did fix the grandfather though, must have been tired when I added that. The article used to look like this though, so it's definitely improved. If you can get any further information on Dessie published (like say on the IRSM website) it can be used. One Night In Hackney303 20:23, 10 May 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Possible additions

message: Just a quick explanation about why I'm about to change "attempted to kill O'Hare" to "attempted to murder O'Hare". As the information before it states he's a member of the RUC, it's important to differentiate between what might have been an officer acting lawfully and what McCaughey did.

thread_title: Billy McCaughey

message: Please!
Does no one think this is a tad inappropriate?Jdorney (talk) 14:47, 3 January 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: The source says that O'Hare was the "significant former paramilitary" referred to. 2 lines of K303 12:55, 19 April 2010 (UTC)
