Restored and Sourced[edit]

This page (and its talk page) was deleted on 21 January 10 by admin ScottMacDonald. I looked through the deletion logs of mass deletions at random and noted that this could easily be sourced, and luckily someone restored it (I didn't look to see who, but thank you). I just added some sources to the article, though many more could be added (he seems to be cited in the British papers weekly, at the least). If you are editing this article, please add sources for any new statements about Mr. Giles.--Milowent (talk) 14:28, 22 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
