Birth place[edit]

The article doesn't mention that Kevin Barlow was born in the UK in Stoke on Trent - is this relevant? JameiLei 20:25, 24 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Inline References[edit]

Have added inline referencing where appropriate. Sorry I do not now how to 'merge' them so the list is not so cluttered. Will be looking for further refs to the Hawke comments later. Format (talk) 18:23, 26 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Removing false death penalty assertions[edit]

The article currently says, “As Australian public support for Barlow and Chambers was minimal, as Australia itself had the death penalty,…”, the relevant time being, apparently, 1986 rather than 1983. However, Capital punishment in Australia claims that Australia hadn’t executed anybody since 1967 and did not have the death penalty as the penalty for any crime after 1985. There’s a map on that page showing the year of last execution and formal abolition of the death penalty, showing that in most of Australia, the death penalty had been abolished even before 1985, decades before in many cases. So I don’t think it’s accurate to say that Australia had the death penalty at the time, much less that this was the reason for minimal Australian public support for Barlow and Chambers, which seems like it would be a highly speculative argument at best, even if Australia did in fact have the death penalty.

Furthermore, the addition of that statement is part of a pattern of adding inflammatory false statements about human-rights issues to Wikipedia by User talk:192.43.227.18, who has just reverted my reversion of their addition of this claim. I would like to invite them to defend their claim here rather than participating in a WP:Edit war. Kragen Javier Sitaker (talk) 19:20, 9 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Since the author hasn’t responded to me here, despite my invitation on their talk page and substantial activity since then, I’m removing the false assertion again. Kragen Javier Sitaker (talk) 23:24, 9 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
