message: The inscription on Light's tomb says he died on 21 October. Is there any authoritative source placing his death at 25 October? Bubbha (talk) 07:43, 24 March 2009 (UTC)

message: The grave of Sir Francis Light lies in The Protestant Cemetery in Georgetown. The Catholic Cemetery can be accessed by walking through the Protestant Cemetery and going through the gate at the back of it. The two are quite distinct and divided by a wall. While not an authority on everything, Lonely Planet Malaysia confirms this and I have been there. The map of the cemeteries that are published on your page (http://www.ericewe.com/travel/catholic-cemetery-burial-place-of-captain-francis-light/) quite clearly shows the Catholic Cemetery on the other side of the wall which is also shown with a break (the gate) in it. Plaques at the entrance to the cemetery list Sir Francis Light as being buried in the Protestant Cemetery.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 110.168.20.224 (talk) 19:00, 7 June 2011 (UTC)

message: I've removed mention of the Priory of Sion. This had no citation, and seemed highly dubious considering the Priory was established as a hoax in 1956. The original passage read like this:
"From 1759 to 1763, Light served as a Royal Navy midshipman and strongly believed was a Priory Of Sion, a secret society members and then left to seek his fortune in the colonies. From 1765, he worked as a private country trader."
If I'm mistaken, please revert, reword,  and add a credible citation. Thanks. Meticulo (talk) 00:16, 5 August 2016 (UTC)
