Thanks for the review Buidhe, much appreciated. It's an odd thing: but it's bizarrely difficult finding a source that states baldly ...and he was a communist socialist and republican, or something. I mean, I'm sure he must have been, since he went out with Ryan, Ryan was acting on behalf of the CPI, and the CPI would let anyone join them if they didn't share their political views, so the obvious assumption is that he must have done. But that's too many assumptions to stomach! And the article doesn't actually mention communism at all, except for the Party. So, I think a page move is in order. Would that break these DYK links if done now? ——Serial Number 54129 16:52, 14 March 2024 (UTC)

  • I don't know enough about the technical aspects to say whether a page move would cause issues. My thought would be (International Brigades) as a disambiguator since that's what he was known for. (t · c) buidhe 21:19, 14 March 2024 (UTC)
    Good, Buidhe and I agree so. I think I caught all the incoming links. ——Serial Number 54129 14:24, 15 March 2024 (UTC)
    @Buidhe: Forgot to mention, I think your choice of ALT3 is right—the others are pretty much saying the same thing (re. his age), and the second might offend the Brits  :) but the shortness of his service is stark (plus, added a link to the IB, for clarity). ——Serial Number 54129 14:51, 17 March 2024 (UTC)
  • Serial Number 54129: Not so fast. I apologise if this is news to you, but we have been in backlog mode since 8 March, which means that users with more than 20 credits are required to complete two QPQs for all nominations after this date. Please complete a second QPQ.--Launchballer 20:52, 16 March 2024 (UTC)
If that's the only issue, then this is good to go.--Launchballer 09:40, 18 March 2024 (UTC)
