Death section
I have made some changes to this section. Firstly the last sentence reading "Writers on the subject such as J. Feehan and S.M. Sigerson have called for a full forensic examination of Collins's remains in order to attempt to settle at least some of these controversies concerning his end". While some may point out this is one of the few sourced sentences in the section, I will counter by saying its inclusion at present makes no sense. The section does not detail any "controversies" which may need settling. My second change is to move the opening paragraph to the end of the section. I believe immediately introducing conspiracy theories (which for the record are not even mentioned, leaving the reader perplexed as to what they actually are) is inappropriate, and is best done after detailing what appear to be the undisputed facts of his death. 2A02:C7D:3CAF:D900:A15E:5B06:D036:6F58 (talk) 16:32, 23 June 2018 (UTC)
The reasoning does not make sense. Did the reverted image not identify Collins? It did not obscure his face or body, and in fact it was sharper, higher in resolution, and had higher photographic quality. Most other language versions of Misplaced Pages use that photograph as well Lochglasgowstrathyre (talk) 10:03, 17 December 2019 (UTC)
One sentence - "To some he was a freedom fighter, to others a terrorist" - from a thirty year old American newspaper cannot be used as a source to state Collins was a terrorist. Please read up on some Misplaced Pages policies: WP:V, WP:RS, WP:DUE, WP:NPOV and WP:TERRORIST would be good starting points. Bastun15:59, 23 November 2020 (UTC)
So after your thirty year old American newspaper is objected to you respond with a film review from a 24 year old America newspaper? Laughable. FDW777 (talk) 21:32, 4 December 2020 (UTC)
I see you also didn't bother with the links @Bastun: left for you. In particular I suggest you read WP:TERRORIST, especially the part about in-text attribution being required. I also suggest you read WP:LEAD, especially how the lead summarises the article so doesn't (or shouldn't, just in case this lead isn't currently 100% compliant) include things not mentioned elsewhere.

The lede of Osama bin Laden's article says he was described as a terrorist, so there should be mention of this in the article on Michael Collins. He deliberately chose not to fight using conventional methods, despite the objections of de Valera. (JamesFergus1 (talk) 22:04, 4 December 2020 (UTC))
