Talk:1993 Bishopsgate bombing

message: The Greenslade reference is the only one that states that Henty ignored warnings (I have checked), so the edit of 19 January 2011 wasn't totally wrong.  The text is “[NOTW editor Patsy Chapman] was devastated by the death of a photographer, Ed Henty, who was killed in April 1993 by an IRA bomb planted at Bishopsgate in the City of London. He was a freelance on  assignmnent for the NoW and video film showed that he had ignored police warnings to enter a cordoned off area. Despite that, Chapman took his death personally.”  Bowyer Bell doesn’t mention Henty at all so I’ve moved that one away from him. Ewx (talk) 09:21, 28 January 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Kindly stop disrupting this article by moving references you have never read. I say read, as you have clearly relied on a simple Google Books search. Bowyer Bell mentions Henty's actions, he just doesn't mention his name. Your edits have the effect of implying certain sources only source particular parts of the sentence, when most of them source more than one part. The sentence does not need footnote clutter in violation of the relevant guideline, particularly when the supposedly contentious part is as the very end of the sentence anyway. 2 lines of K303 13:22, 28 January 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Your tone leaves a lot to be desired.  Yes, I did use Google books; not spotting an entry in Bowyer-Bell was an honest mistake.Ewx (talk) 13:53, 28 January 2011 (UTC)

message: :John Hume and Gerry Adams issued their first joint statement on the same day as the bombing, stating, "We accept that the Irish people as a whole have a right to national self-determination. This is a view shared by a majority of the people of this island, though not by all its people", and that, "The exercise of self-determination is a matter for agreement between the people of Ireland".
Looking at the statement it seems to be about talks that took place earlier in the month, and doesn't refer directly or indirectly to events in London. Contemporary news reports don't seem to link the two - for example this report in the (Irish) Sunday Tribune puts it in the context of an interview given by a British politician the previous week, but doesn't mention the bombing at all. I was able to find one report that vaguely suggested the statement was issued a little earlier than the bombing (Scotland on Sunday: "...struck as it was revealed that..."), but haven't been able to confirm this either way. Regardless, I think it seems fairly clear this statement wasn't intended to be taken as a response to the bombing, and nor was it interpreted as one at the time. I'll remove it from the article.
