Isn't she the one who accused her Tory opponent of being 'in favour of inheritances', whilst standing for her mother's seat?

Burke's Peerage and Gentry

I've reverted this for three reasons: (1) I think the tone of the comment breaches NPOV; (2) there is already a clear reference to her Burke's Peerage entry in the references (it is used as a reference for her birth details); (3) the grammar is problematic (something like "She is also listed in Burke's Peerage and Gentry under her full name Moyra Tamsin Dunwoody-Kneafsey" would be better).Jonathan A Jones (talk) 18:57, 21 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

- Ok, take on board, and will have a go re-editing over the weekend (when current event are over).  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.212.205.141 (talk) 20:27, 21 May 2008 (UTC)[reply] 
Don't make a mountain out of a molehill of this Burkes' business - she's only in there because she was a member of the Welsh Assembly - they're all in there. -- Arwel (talk) 21:11, 21 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

That's probably "Who's Who" you're thinking of; Burkes is a bit more unusual. But I agree with your general point, especially as she will almost certainly sink back into obscurity after tomorrow night! Jonathan A Jones (talk) 21:53, 21 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
