Jewish[edit]

It isn't note anywhere here that he's Jewish? That should probably be there somewhere. Ultra Epic Win (talk) 03:20, 12 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Please read WP:BLPCAT. In essense unless the person concerned has self-declared what their religion and/or race etc is, it should not be normally included in an article about them or referring to them, etc etc. Of course if you can find a cite which reports him declaring his religion if you think this is really that relevant to improving the article you are obviously free to edit the article accordingly to refer to his comments. The presumption otherwise is that your statement is incorrect.Tmol42 (talk) 21:58, 12 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I have never read anywhere else that Michael Dawson is Jewish. Unless verifiable sources can be demonstrated, I really do think this reference should be removed.--Doctor Puss (talk) 12:13, 18 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Untitled[edit]

There's no evidence that Katie Dawson of the Green Party (vocal critic of Arsenal's new stadium) is Michael Dawson's sister. —Preceding unsigned comment added by HelloHelloHi (talk • contribs) 05:00, 11 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Article tidied up, but...[edit]

Okay I have done a fair amount of cleanup, added a load of ref's got the article up to a good standard. I don't mind if another pairs of eyes has a look over the article, review it and let me know if they feel anything is needed. Cheers. Govvy (talk) 16:49, 2 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

A quick skip over it and referencing looks like the main area to concentrate on.

A few references are missing |accessdate=
There is a mixture of first/last and last/first for format of authors – choose one or the other and make them all the same.

The other area would be the lead which could do with expansion to summarise the article better.

k, I added access date's to all the references I added, must be the older ones that were already there, the previous editors probably didn't use that field so I am not sure if I should be adding accessdate's for them or not. Cheers for the input. Govvy (talk) 22:11, 2 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
