title change

[edit]

Changed per WP standards as title was awarded on retirement.--Smerus (talk) 12:27, 19 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]


The paragraph detailing John Kerr's career lacks any citations and is poorly referenced. His comments on the UK leaving the EU were widely reported in all the UK quality newspapers and a wiki editor feels that his comments need to be removed . This is curious as they come out top when you do a google search on his name . Wikipedia is not a version of " Linked in " . — Preceding unsigned comment added by 1968peterbishop (talkcontribs) 01:05, 30 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Claim that John Kerr wrote Article 50 disputed

[edit]

The text currently says of John Kerr: "He created and wrote Article 50 of the Lisbon Treaty".

First, that sounds somewhat adulatory. Second, he is not the only one to lay claim thereto. For example, Former Italian Prime Minister Giuliano Amato apparently said: "I wrote Article 50, so I know it well." http://www.express.co.uk/news/world/692065/Article-50-NEVER-to-be-used-Europe-Brexit-Italy-Prime-Minister

Perhaps the text should be updated and a page added to document claims of authorship. Ablonus (talk) 09:19, 10 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

DOB

[edit]

The page gives his date of birth as 22nd February 1942. Lord Kerr of Tonaghmore's birthday is also 22nd February. I can find a source for Lord Kerr of Tonaghmore's birthday (http://www.ukwhoswho.com/public/home.html?url=%2Fapp%3Fservice%3Dexternalpagemethod%26page%3DArticleDisplay%26method%3Dview%26sp%3DS%2Foupww%2Fwhoswho%2FU22949&failReason=Error+reason%3A+err_userpass_none%2Berr_ip_badcred%2Berr_athens_none%2Berr_shib_none%2Berr_referrer_badcred%2Berr_libcard_none) but not for this Lord Kerr's birthday. Therefore it seems probable that someone confused the two and that this page is in error, otherwise it's a most delightful coincidence. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.15.41.210 (talk) 08:59, 14 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
