Talk:Robert McBride (police officer)

message: McBride wasn't given amnesty in 1992 by the TRC, but rather by De Klerk in order to allow negotiations to procede. I switched the comments about heroism to reflect that even the coloured community was [and is] divided about McBride. -Grant McKenna 17:05, 14 July 2006 (UTC)

message: The whole "EXTRA BIOGRAPHY" section repeated much of the contents of the article, had no wikified headings, and was generally a nuisance. I added what I thought were the necessary pieces of missing information to the main article, and redacted the rest. As the sources were also not under a proper heading, I assumed they were part of the extra information, and deleted them as well. Also changed some wording, modified and added some links. As it is a stub (and I think was before, just a double-stub), I added 3 stub categories. --Storkk 19:07, 16 July 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Rather large edit

message: I've started writing this, but it seems the sources are conflicting, and a few more POVs need to be presented. See this legal brief article, with numerous links to other stories. -Kieran 00:59, 7 July 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Petrol station incident

message: Regarding the  tags added to the opening paragraph by User:Kaiwhakahaere: according to Wikipedia:When to cite#Citations in leads it's acceptable not to include references in the lead paragraphs - because that information is generally repeated with references later on in the article. This improves readability. Zaian (talk) 07:53, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: It doesn't improve readability at all, but if that's your thing, then I will add tags further down. Kaiwhakahaere (talk) 07:59, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
