Talk:Harry Gregg

message: Harry Gregg was born just outside Tobermore not in Magherafelt, he even states this in his biography so i'm changing it. Mabuska 17:14, 19 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Most people mistake him as being born in Coleraine, just as many mistake the actor James Nesbitt as being born in Coleraine even though he was born near Broughshane outside Ballymena a good wee bit away from Coleraine! Many people wrongly assume as a person grew up in a place they must have been born there.  Mabuska (talk) 20:03, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: If you want to be that technical about place of birth your gonna have a hell of a job editing all the articles on Wikipedia that aren't lol ;-). Home births would of been common prior to WWII i'm assumming espec as we still had outside toilets well into the 60's. Mabuska (talk) 20:03, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Magherafelt?? 

message: He was born in Tobermore, it says so in his 2002 Autobiography Harry's Game. I quote I was born on 27 October 1932, in the village of Tobermore. He of course may have 'actually' been born in Magherafelt Hospital a few miles down the road. Therefore either Tobermore or Magherafelt should be used. Have a look on the internet and every page will give his DOB as either one of these two.
The person who said Coleraine got confused because that is where he moved to when he was young. Again from his autobiography I quote The Gregg family moved to Windsor Avenue in Coleraine and it was there that I spent my teenage years page 11.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Plkmo (talk • contribs) 16:17, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

message: I have suspicion about his death date. I have found in news articles that today his death was announced. Can anyone provide kindly provide about his death date as in news articles I did not find any strong reference about his exact death date?S. M. Nazmus Shakib (talk) 13:16, 17 February 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: this confirms the date of death as the 16 Feb. I have added it as a cite in the article. Thanks  — Amakuru (talk) 10:27, 19 February 2020 (UTC)

message: I feel like we need a better picture for Infobox. The one right now just looks grainy. 
Great Mercian (talk) 22:52, 17 February 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: Having the grainy blow-up is appreciated for a front-page article (thanks Amakuru), but looks to me like a good case for an non-free portrait from his playing days. Davidships (talk) 18:19, 18 February 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: Hmm... I'd be sceptical about that myself. If a public domain pic exists, and this one does exist even if it's grainy, the standard fair-use rationale of no replaceability doesn't apply. (I'm generally quite sceptical about fair use anyway though, part of me would like to scrap it altogether as it creates a disconnect between Wikipedia and the Wikipedia content that's free for anyone to use, but that's a separate debate).  — Amakuru (talk) 18:40, 18 February 2020 (UTC)
