message: Recently, Mr Harvey-Jones has come to the public's attention largely as a sponsor of The New Party, an organisation which campaigns against environmental causes - why is there no mention of this in the article?

thread_title:  is this a cut and paste article from another website? Or vice versa? 

message: The article says Mr. Harvey-Jones got an MBE for commanding an E-Boat. Err, E-Boats were small surface craft of the German Navy in World War II. One presumes he commanded it very poorly? :)  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.48.205.42 (talk) 20:42, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

message: Shouldn't this article have something about Sir John's life—in particular his service in the Navy & his time at ICI?  And the Quotes section isn't much better than a collection of Trivia.
I see that much of the text was removed because of copyvio: fair enough.  The material simply needs to be rewritten/summarized. --NigelG (or Ndsg) | Talk 10:57, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
