[edit] the elder of twins by 25 minutes?

How is this relevant? PizzaMargherita 16:48, 15 May 2006 (UTC)

Well, it's not exactly doing any harm, is it? David | Talk 19:02, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

Yes it is. Like every other irrelevant detail, it is diluting relevant information. PizzaMargherita 19:49, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

That rather raises the question of what exactly is relevant. This is a biographical article about Brian Haw, and so his whole life story is relevant, not just what he is doing now. If the article was at Parliament Square anti-war protest then it would be irrelevant to state that he was a twin, but as it is his biography, it is perfectly relevant.

So are you saying that we should include that he has gray hair, that he likes mashed potatoes, that he took part in a spelling bee when he was 12 and he arrived 26th? I think we have to draw a line somewhere. PizzaMargherita 09:15, 17 May 2006 (UTC)

I am delting "25 minutes" as this is completely irrelvant. Details like this do not belong in an article on Wikipedia. [Hicham]

Removed the rest for the same reason. I'm sure I've seen a policy on this but I just realised that WP:TRIVIA is not a valid shortcut. If people start reverting I can dig it up. PizzaMargherita 05:05, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

Ah, here it is Wikipedia:Trivia. PizzaMargherita 05:08, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

Specifically: If you see information that really is "trivia": be bold, remove it. PizzaMargherita 05:10, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Surname

Is his surname taken or given? He reminds me of Lord Hee Haw, indicted for treason during WWII. - MSTCrow 02:00, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] External links

These were external links, but it's getting rather bulky. If there's valid info it should be given in the article and they should be cited as refs. If there's not extra valid info, we probably don't need it as an external link:
