(e/c while the initial content in the article was from a blog that purported to be from the Phoenix but was not immediately verifiable because the Phoenix was behind a paywall, Mandruss on the helpdesk was able to find [1] which appears to confirm proposed content for this article. The only issue is whether since the publication of the Independent article there have been further publications of facts which need to be incorporated into our article's coverage of the issue. -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom00:28, 10 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
