False information

[edit]

This article contains a lot of false information. It was put up Sunday of last week and should be seen in the context of the Irish general election. The person responsible for creating the page has made many unsubstantiated claims. He/ She has then visited several blogs, making false claims and then using this page (his/her own creation) as their reference.It is also worth pointing out, despite the false information in the page, that Nessan Quinlivan was never convicted of any offence in the UK. There were a number of documentaries about the Brixton escape which alleged that MI5 had some initial involvement via some prison officers .—Preceding unsigned comment added by Alexocon (talkcontribs)


Some possible sources

[edit]

I've made a note about this on Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons/Noticeboard (WP:BLPN). I probably won't have much time to work on it myself, but here are some likely sources:

The Sir Charles Tidbury obit (source 2 in the current NQ article) has now been replaced by a current DTel webpage, so I imagine the link now cannot be replaced. Harfarhs (talk) 10:54, 1 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Clarity on jurisdictions

[edit]

I agree with Gob Lofa: when talking about extradition proceedings there should be clarity on where the proceedings were and where it was sought to have the prisoner extradited to. Quinlevan was arrested in the south. There is potential confusion in using "Ireland" here. Saying "Republic of Ireland" conforms to the spirit, if not stricly to the letter, of WP:IRE-IRL. Similarly, it was sought to have him sent overseas to Britain, not across the border to Northern Ireland. Therefore the more specific "Britain" should be used rather that the more ambiguous "United Kingdom". Scolaire (talk) 09:09, 22 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

hi i added a sentence that was on another wikipedia page [Maze Prison Escape] and it keeps gettting taken off, even thought ive tried to add the same references that are on the maze prison escape page (but as i'm new to this i probably didn't do it right)

the sentence was:

On 7 July 1991 IRA prisoners Nessan Quinlivan and Pearse McAuley escaped from HM Prison Brixton, where they were being held on remand. They escaped using a gun that had been smuggled into the prison, wounding a motorist as they fled after escaping the prison.

the references are 43 and 44 at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maze_Prison_escape

can someone please explain how this can be accurate on one page but not another?
