message: The article says he was elected to Parliament in 1983, 1986, 1987 etc.  There was no general election in the UK in 1986; if he'd already been elected to parliament in 1983, why would he need to be elected again? It couldn't have been a by-election because in 1986 he would've been the sitting MP by virtue of having been elected in 1983.  Was he elcted to a different body in 1986?  This needs correction or clarification. Martan (talk) 21:21, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

message: This is a terrible article for someone who now holds a very senior post  in the Northern Ireland Assembly - it needs scrapped and completely re-written. It's embaressing.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.157.154.146 (talk) 02:58, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

message: It's not true to say that this office was suspended. It wasn't: it continued to function, but it was occupied by a Direct Rule minister rather than a member of the NI Executive.  Mooretwin (talk) 14:06, 14 November 2008 (UTC)

message: I have joined some sections together to basically tidy up the article. Most previous sections only had one or two short sentences.--Theosony (talk) 05:15, 8 February 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Too many sections

message: The United Kingdom consists of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. Northern Ireland is not part of Great Britain even though it is part of the United Kingdom. It is therefore incorrect to call any native of Ireland "British" whatever their political disposition. It is simply a geographical matter.Tergum violinae (talk) 21:58, 3 May 2009 (UTC)

message: Without taking any position on whether the previous version is correct, the current version was wholly unacceptable. It is full of unreferenced assertions, or "sources" including a blog and a forum post. There are no sources to say the photo was taken in Israel, there are no sources that say Peter Robinson has proved it was taken in Israel, and there are no sources to say those who say otherwise are wrong. Therefore I have changed it back to a version without an editor's completely unsourced commentary in it. O Fenian (talk) 18:59, 6 July 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I disagree with the version you removed too, but the photo was taken in Israel.  That is in the Moloney & Polak bio of Paisley in 1986.Traditional unionist (talk) 22:24, 6 July 2009 (UTC)

message: Editors of this bio will probably be interested in the article Irisgate that an editor has started on the scandal involving Robinson and his wife. Fences&Windows 02:24, 9 January 2010 (UTC)

message: Is this really needed? There's a similar image of the Deputy First Minister for comparison, which isn't included in his article. I would guess that its inclusion would be met with resistance. Stu ’Bout ye! 12:11, 11 January 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  AK47 photo 

message: Under the Northern Ireland (St Andrews Agreement) Act 2006, the First Minister can hand their duties over to another nominated minister for a maximum period of six weeks - see the extract at http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/northern_ireland/8452451.stm at "1510" and the full St Andrews Agreement Act at http://www.niassembly.gov.uk/transitional/info_office/Act.pdf . The act makes reference to the designated minister's task to exercise the functions of that office whilst the holder is absent.
So in this situation Peter Robinson is still technically the First Minister, just in absentia, and Arlene Foster is the minister acting as First Minister. I will amend the article accordingly Victor Greenstreet (talk) 11:41, 13 January 2010 (UTC)

message: Peter Robinson self published several booklets, most of which are freely available from Belfast Library. Surprising that none are mentioned here. Anyone interested in developing this article would find a lot of material inside them!
