thread_title:  External links modified 

message: Isn't this article too long for a minor figure, important only in the minority activity of heraldry?
And the bit at the beginning about his ancestors reads almost like a sort of Wodehouse parody.
e.g.
"Robert Isacke's wife, Chesshyre's 2nd-great-grandmother, Matilda Scrymgeour-Wedderburn, was the daughter of Henry Scrymgeour-Wedderburn, de jure 7th Earl of Dundee, and great-granddaughter of Charles Maitland, 6th Earl of Lauderdale"
Most people wouldn't even know what a "second" great-grandmother is. And is there such as a thin as a "de facto" earl, rather than a de jure one?
I suggest removing most of the guff about his forebears and cutting the rest of the article down to the bare bones.

replies: text: I have to agree with the commenters above. This article is hilariously over-detailed and comes off as promotional in tone, though it's more promotional than any CV I've ever seen. We don't need a long list of his clients and 'professional achievements', and his ancestry is utterly irrelevant. The most important fact of his biography - his conviction for child sexual abuse - is buried deep in the biography where someone casually scanning the article could easily miss it, when it should really be at the top of the first section.

replies: text: Robofish: I've now trimmed this page heavily (more like taken a chainsaw to it) to remove much of the trivia, puffery and unsourced material; I've tried to prosify what remains and make it feel more encyclopaedic and more suitable for a general audience. I disagree that the section on abuse needs to be at the top though -- Jimmy Savile's section is also at the bottom. It is now much easier to navigate too and weighted much more appropriately. —Noswall59 (talk) 14:29, 4 February 2020 (UTC)
