Talk:Ronan O'Rahilly

message: While the original text was hardly perfect it would have been far better to do a proper edit/rewrite of it rather than removing virtually the entire text.
Basically your position can be summarised as "I think this article is crap and somebody should rewrite it but as I cant be bothered doing so myself Im just going to remove just about the entire text (good and bad alike) and then sit around waiting for someone else to sort it out" 80.229.222.48 12:09, 1 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: He left it in a worse state than it was before, chopping out various pieces of useful and noncontroversial information, and leaving behind a "see also" section with very little info as to why the links are relevant. I'm reverting and will then remove any unsourced nonsense from the reverted version. --kingboyk 14:43, 4 May 2007 (UTC)

text: On the question "Did Radio Luxembourg have separate shows for different record companies' product?" I believe this was indeed the case. I don't have a source for that though.Bruern Crossing (talk) 19:30, 3 May 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: So why not do it yourself ?

message: "He recorded a Georgie Fame record on his own independent level" - should that be "label"?
"He took the record to the BBC to try to get it played. He discovered that the record industry was dominated by EMI and Decca. He then tried to get it played on Radio Luxembourg. Again here, EMI and Decca, with a smaller Pye and Phillips show." - what does that mean?  Did the BBC only play records from two labels?  In that case was it the BBC rather than the record industry which was dominated by EMI and Decca?  Did Radio Luxembourg have separate shows for different record companies' product?  And shouldn't that be "Philips" with one "l"?  I haven't edited it because the writer might have intended a different meaning.

thread_title:  Still a bit confusing 

message: The reason that "The name of Ronan O'Rahilly has also become associated with the offshore pirate radio station Radio Caroline" is that he is generally regarded as the founder of that station. If he was NOT the founder, then we need a source for this fact plus a statement that all published sources of offshore radio history name him as the founder of Caroline.Bruern Crossing (talk) 22:51, 4 July 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Summary

message: No quarrel with the heading here, no doubt there are "facts" about Ronan that are actually myth. However, nowhere in this section are we told what is fact and what is myth.Bruern Crossing (talk) 22:51, 4 July 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Mythology and fact

message: Have done a total reformat, including removal of contentious material which was unsubstantiated.  References are covered
