Talk:Lord Richard Cecil

message: to : Couter-revolutionary, Sussexman, Robert I, Olborne etc etc etc
You have given Lord Richard's date of death as 27 April 1978. I have always had my doubts about the accuracy of that date, although a reference is cited. For one thing, his obituary appeared in The Times on 22 April 1978 (see P. K. van der Byl reference number 57). Maybe The Times knew something that Lord Richard didn't?.
That apart, do you think that describing ZANLA as "terrorists" is entirely neutral?. I mean, it leads into this argument about one man's terrorist being another man's freedom fighter. 
best wishes

message: I really don't think the use of "terrorists" implies disapproval or bias.  The IRA, for instance, would never be described as anything other than terrorists on Wikipedia. --Couter-revolutionary 17:11, 21 October 2006 (UTC)

I have added some material to this article. Given that you are its creator I thought I should "touch base" with you. LR is an alumni of Eton College, and I am sure there must be a linkage that is appropriate here. Do you think I should consult Chicheley, who is the expert on Eton College matters?.

message: Mowens35. I have added another 4 references to the article. For a short B-Class article, that is adequate. Unless you object, I will remove the tag. regards. Bob BScar23625 19:20, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Citations tag 

message: Zippppo. You have added Interestingly his headstone bears the "Who Dares Wins" motif of the SAS. I have never visited his grave, but that just sounds a little "showy" and I wonder if his family would have allowed it?. Can you cite a source or can you show a photograph?. regards.

replies: text: Dear Bob, I have no opinion on his grave stone inscription as I have not yet seen it.  With regards to PK he was terrificaly entertaining, people took his too seriously.--Couter-revolutionary 11:35, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

text: Dear Bob, I never made any claim as to the inscription on the headstone.  I do, however, await the photograph it shall be interesting to see.  My best wishes to you in MMVII.--Couter-revolutionary 17:35, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

message: Bob, most assuredly Counter-Revolutionary did not make the changes to Rhodie.  I was at first interested in why you thought I was counter-revolutionary, and understood your attribution as one of description for a real counter-revolutionary.  Had I known there was a actual user named Counter-Revolutionary I would have immediately presented myself as otherwise.  I am currently an anonymous user for reasons that I am still trying to figure out how to properly utilize wikipedias user format. 
As to suggesting that the changes made to Rhodie were rubbish, I would disagree with your personal opinion.  Feel free to comment back on the Rhodie page.  Thanks.

thread_title:  Counter Revolutionary is a many headed hydra? (though I suppose they all are, really) 

message: Was there more than one of these?  30degreessouth.com is giving away a copy of 'Frontline Rhodesia' with every copy sold of a book caled 'Masodja'. Their material implies there was only one documentary. What is your source for saying there are more? 
I would like to put a link to the documentary and edit the article to reflect some of the info in it. but am not sure of the facts here. I think the information would be of interest to readers of this article, so anyone who knows more about 'Frontline Rhodesia', please comment here.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.191.135.66 (talk) 20:24, 13 June 2008 (UTC)
