Billy Fox murder

Rv Billy Fox reference -- too questionable and complicated: Per his article:

Five members of the Provisional IRA were convicted of involvement in his murder.^[1]^[2] However, there have been claims that it was the Official IRA^[3] or the Ulster Freedom Fighters^[4] who were responsible.

Difficulty Attributing Responsibility to Specific Loyalist Groupings

This page and the Timeline of Ulster Volunteer Force actions page are sparser than they probably should be because often it seems Loyalist paramilitaries didn't take responsibility, either through public silence or a cover name, or period media outlets neglected to report which group specifically is responsible.

e.g. from the Enniskillen Bombing page "Reactions" section:

"The bombing was seen by many Northern Irish Protestants as an attack on them, and loyalist paramilitaries retaliated with attacks on Catholic civilians. The day after, five Catholic teenagers were wounded in a shooting in Belfast... In the week after the bombing, there were 14 gun and bomb attacks on Catholics in Belfast.[27]"

Perhaps to address this, rather than create an entirely new page for Loyalist attacks not attributed to any specific group, instead list an action where the exact perpetrator is unknown in both the UVF and UDA pages? I was forced to do something similar for this action "11 November: loyalist gunmen shot a Catholic civilian at his cafe Crumlin Road, Ardoyne, Belfast. He died five days later. No group claimed responsibility." Different sources said either the UVF, UDA or neither were responsible. — Preceding unsigned comment added by NelsonEdit (talk • contribs) 15:58, 14 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
