Untitled[edit]

Yes, that is exactly what I am saying. Most of the hunger strikers were not involved in petty crime before becoming involved in paramilitary activity. Also untypically, he did not come from a large extended family. See Beresford's book. PatGallacher 10:49, 28 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Petty Crime[edit]

There are two separate claims being made here:

Michael Devine was involved in petty crime before becoming involved in the republican movement
Involvement in petty crime was atypical of the hunger strikers.

Neither of these claims is cited, so in my opinion User:Weggie is justified in removing them. Note that he/she is only removing uncited claims, not presenting uncited claims of his/her own. Demiurge 09:58, 8 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

They are not uncited, the source is Beresford's account "Ten Men Dead". PatGallacher 10:03, 8 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Page number / ISBN are needed for a citation

With the addition of the footballer I am not sure that this person is clearly the best known of the name. Should this page be a disambiguation? PatGallacher (talk) 16:36, 22 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Unless anyone objects I propose to turn this page into a disambiguation, and turn Mickey Devine into a redirect to it. PatGallacher (talk) 15:47, 11 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
