Incumbent?

Shouldn't the 'Junior Minister' side-box be altered to state that JD is no longer the incumbent?

Article says that he is Presbyterian (and this is evidenced on the DUP website), but the article is included in a category of members of Irish Baptist churches. I will remove the category as it seems inappropriate. Sjoh0050 (talk) 16:12, 11 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Fast moving news event

Hello,

I don't edit wikipedia much anymore so my memory is hazy on this - there is a fast moving news event around this figure however most of the information is based around novel sythesis at present so I cannot remember if we tag the page in any particular way (I'm vague about the event here because although it's clear what is happening no RS has reported - they have just stuck stories together to make it clear to readers what is happening with a nod and wink). Cameron Scott (talk) 12:15, 29 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Ok got it - you want to spread tittle-tattle but you aren't sure exactly how? 86.29.129.45 (talk) 12:30, 29 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No I saying what is the correct route to prevent it being added to the article. Cameron Scott (talk) 12:46, 29 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

“Against children”

I am no fan of Jeffrey Donaldson, but neither of the sources supplied related to the allegations mention children. If there are any confirmed reputable sources of this, then by all means someone can add them, but until then it should be changed to “historic sexual offences” rather than “historic sexual offences against children”. 37.168.151.17 (talk) 13:50, 29 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

yes the source that do mentioned this do not actually mention then and thus should not be used e.g. https://www.belfastlive.co.uk/news/belfast-news/co-down-couple-child-sex-28909268 Cameron Scott (talk) 16:51, 29 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

UNAMBIGUOUSLY To whom it concerns, Please remove references to Lisnagarvey Hockey Club from the page. Thank you Lisnagarvey HC Hockey2424 (talk) 22:26, 30 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I've removed the reference seeing as it's trivial. ser! ^{(chat to me - see my edits)} 22:38, 30 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Is it trivial? Sporting allegiances can mean a lot in NI. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2001:4D48:AD5E:6000:FD20:6110:CCB5:DA9 (talk) 21:07, 31 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
