Discussion

I don't think there is need for much discussion. I'm inclined to boldly move it to Guy Black, Lord Black of Brentwood (per convention) but since we've only one day left in this RM I'll leave it until the 7 days are done. --RA (talk) 20:30, 6 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

COI

Just a note of apology. I see that I edited this article quite considerably in 2012 and have made a few desultory edits since. I knew about COI then and should have declared it, as I did at articles such as Mark E. Smith and Michael Axworthy. I honestly thought that I had but I can see no record of it here, so perhaps it was mentioned elsewhere. I've known Guy since 1982 and last heard from him around Christmas 2018.

Someone might want to review my past edits here, although I doubt there will be anything untoward. Sorry. - Sitush (talk) 11:29, 12 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
