Response

I found actual reference to the court case itself (chancery division) which deals with issues of equity and commercial property. Lord Davenport paid £800,000 to settle the case. The Sierra Leone government dropped the case following legal advice from their counsel. There is no mention of fraud. http://www.christian-monitor.org/cms/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=328&Itemid=42

I will source out the original court case transcript if you wish.

I accept that the Bilderberg affiliation is possibly too ambiguous to publish as an encyclopaedic form of information. For this reason I will not dispute it being removed.

I will remove the "self-proclaimed" aristocrat or indeed any mention of aristocrat if it suits you, until you verify this fact with the College of Arms as discussed above.

As a recent Wiki user/editor points out - citations are needed. Misplaced Pages policy on the subject of living persons require that this be deleted until a credible source can be found, especially where such statements are defamatory or give rise to libel.

The royal bet should be mentioned; however I disagree with your opinion or any other wikipedia users opinion. Instead facts should be represented.

I have never claimed that Lord Edward Davenport was admitted to the Sunday Times rich list. He did however, enter the Mail on Sunday Rich Report which is mentioned in the same BBC transcript and can be verified by the Mail on Sunday. This fact should be mentioned, although it might be worthwhile mentioning that he was declined entry to the Sunday Times Rich List.

Is this a suitable starting point?

Religion

There seems to be some debate about the addition of an entire section regarding Davenport's religious beliefs. I agree that this section is unnecessary, for two main reasons. First, the DAILYMAIL is no longer considered a reliable source for most things. Second, it puts UNDUE focus on his religion. A sentence or two, maybe, would be fine, but not a full section with quotes. Primefac (talk) 13:02, 5 June 2017 (UTC)

Mayfair

Davenport might have been behind the alleged party in Mayfair in London at which Simionov was stabbed to death on 1/1/2019. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.146.195.236 (talk) 09:17, 12 February 2019 (UTC)
