[edit] Birthplace
- born ... Birmingham, England, moved to Belfast at 5 months old
I reverted the above information which was added by an anon IP. It may be correct, but I couldn't find any evidence for it, so it needs a citation. Richard W.M. Jones 22:48, 15 November 2006 (UTC)
- I reverted the same just now. Please, anon IPs, add a verifiable reference if it's true. Richard W.M. Jones 22:01, 17 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Stormin' Stormont
Can I just say two things: 1. WTF?!? 2. Yeooooooooooooooo!--feline1 12:02, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] 'He will go back in prison'
Isn't that the case of no brown stuff Sherlock. RMC1989 20:29, 24 November 2006
- when you consider that some retard let him OUT in the first place, I wouldn't be surprised if they still let him out, in case they "damage the peace process".
There's nothing like a measured, well considered and balanced comment to capture the moment. Well done you.The Boy that time forgot 23:19, 24 November 2006 (UTC)
I changed the reference to "Greater London Authority" to "Greater London Council", as the GLA didn't exist at the time.
The link may need to be changed accordingly.
[edit] Stormont Attack = Art
There's nothing in the article about Stone claiming his attack on Stormont was art, and the acting out of a "real" terror attack. Should it be added?
[edit] Spide?
I'm surprised that we can't mention in the article that Stone is a good example of what is colloquially known as a spide. If wikipedia can have an article on the term spide, surely that term becomes usable in other articles? I appreciate that (i) it's a subjective judgement and (ii) a pejorative term - but does this mean the article cannot note that many of Stone's countrymen would apply the term to him? --feline1 15:43, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
- Wikipedia has articles on lots of pejorative POV terms, that doesn't give us a license to go around applying them to people. Even if you found a reliable source that called Stone a "spide" (which you haven't), it's still an inherently POV term with no clear definition. Demiurge 16:08, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

- What sort of "source" would you need. I, for example, am born in raised in NornIrond, and thus have been using that slang term all my life. I would call Michael Stone a spide. How else can slang from dialects be "sourced" other than by people who use that dialect?--feline1 16:29, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
- The kind of source that I'd need would be a reliable source. Plenty of slang words can be properly sourced — look at Scanger for examples. If you can't source it, it doesn't belong in Wikipedia. Demiurge 16:37, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
- You mean if *one* cannot source it, it doesn't belong in wikipedia. My personal abilities to source things are irrelevant. --feline1 23:40, 6 January 2007 (UTC)
- Huh? Is this a joke?! Stu ’Bout ye! 09:47, 8 January 2007 (UTC)
- No, it is performance art :) --feline1 11:20, 8 January 2007 (UTC)
- Ha! If you had called Johnny Adair a spide on his page, I might have agreed! Stu ’Bout ye! 11:35, 8 January 2007 (UTC)
- Well he's a spide too. But I imagine some busybody would require me to reference Stephen Nolan saying so in BBC Radio Ulster before wikipedia could acknowledge the fact :0/--feline1 12:03, 8 January 2007 (UTC)
