Suggestions

G'day, good work so far with this article. I have a couple of suggestions for further improvement:

the lead probably should be expanded by a couple more sentences as it should briefly summarise the entire article;
the body of the article should probably make note of if O'Neill married and had children (if known), what he did in retirement (if known), and when and where he died (I note that this information is already included in the infobox). This doesn't need to be too long, maybe just one or two sentences. Cheers, AustralianRupert (talk) 22:24, 25 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
