Back in the 70's Irwin was arrested accused of spying and beaten by Turkish authorities. He was then released.

Okay... How are you proposing this be incorporated into the article? Holford 20:03, 28 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

yeah I read that too on the Ark Searches page and came here in the hope of reading more in a reference.... would be really good if one could be supplied! Mathmo ^Talk 10:38, 25 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Important things are missing from this article. Irwin's date of death appeared at the beginning of the article, but not at the end. I fixed that. It would still be nice to have the date of his first heart attack, though. I added a sentence about the book he wrote about his experiences. One major omission from the article is the dates of his spaceflight on Apollo 15. Not even the year is mentioned. If you reply to this, please notify me on my talk page.

Added some more basic information and cited sources. The first instance of heart problems actually occurred on the voyage home to Earth on Apollo 15, in August 1971. I usually don't contribute to a person this famous, since the source material is easy to find. I'm surprised it's still really only a Start article. I'll try to bring this up to a B-class article by the end of February... no guarantees.Abebenjoe 21:16, 15 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

More James Irwin info.

In the film [Magnificent Desolation: Walking on the Moon 3D] Irwin was played by Aaron White. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Sunox (talk • contribs) 21:29, 2 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Edit request from Uwdac02, 9 November 2010

{{edit semi-protected}} Mrs. Joy Irwin Schtakleff is the daughter of Col. James B. Irwin and President of The High Flight Foundation and would like to request a simple change to her fathers wikipedia page.

Under Mr. Irwin's "Post-NASA Career section, the following edit is requested.

Original Beyond his achievements as an astronaut with NASA, Irwin is perhaps most notable for his Christian work. He left NASA and retired from the Air Force with the rank of colonel in 1972 and founded High Flight, a Christian ministry. He frequently commented about how his experiences in space had made the presence of God even more real to him than before.

Partly done: Added the link in the external links section as they are not encouraged inline like you suggest. Also removed "a Christian ministry" per request, although I'm not sure if that was intentional or not. -Atmoz (talk) 15:41, 9 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Edit request from Sunox, 14 June 2011

It is requested that an edit be made to the semi-protected article at James Irwin. (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.

In the 2005 film Magnificent Desolation: Walking on the Moon 3D Irwin was played by Aaron White.
