Place of Birth

I just noticed that the article says that he was born in Kent. All well and good except they've then gone on to say England, UK. To me at first glance that would suggest he's from a town called Kent which would confuse those who don't know that Kent is a county. I have found a copy of an interview with him that says he's from Staplehurst however it's pretty much a cut-and-paste onto a forum which we can't use it as a source however it does mention that it's from Power Slam magazine and what looks like the May or June 2007 issue which we could use to source it. I don't have a copy and therefore I don't know the ISSN number, does someone know it then I might be able to knock up a reasonable source template to use to allow us to show where he is from (although if someone has a copy with the exact details, that's even better).

I've added some sources that indicate that while he grew up in Staplehurst, he was actually born in London.TheFBH (talk) 16:32, 20 April 2011 (UTC)

I don't want to nit-pick but is that a kafaybe magazine? The C of E. God Save The Queen! (talk) 17:06, 20 April 2011 (UTC)

Slam Sports? No. Professional wrestling portal's style guide names it one of the most reliable sources.TheFBH (talk) 18:02, 20 April 2011 (UTC)

Just double checking. The C of E. God Save The Queen! (talk) 18:24, 20 April 2011 (UTC)

Edit request from Martindouglashendry, 24 April 2011

It is requested that an edit be made to the semi-protected article at Nigel McGuinness. (edit · history · last · links · protection log) This template must be followed by a complete and specific description of the request, that is, specify what text should be removed and a verbatim copy of the text that should replace it. "Please change X" is not acceptable and will be rejected; the request must be of the form "please change X to Y". The edit may be made by any autoconfirmed user. Remember to change the |answered=no parameter to "yes" when the request has been accepted, rejected or on hold awaiting user input. This is so that inactive or completed requests don't needlessly fill up the edit requests category. You may also wish to use the {{ESp}} template in the response. To request that a page be protected or unprotected, make a protection request.

As of today (24/04/11) http://desmondwolfe.co.uk/ as a website is closed. This would go some way in detailing the prospective retirement of this wrestler. I hope to be attributed somehow with this possible edit. Martindouglashendry (talk) 18:17, 24 April 2011 (UTC) Martindouglashendry (talk) 18:17, 24 April 2011 (UTC)
