- Comment: There appear to be two or more copies of the article to be reviewed here, would you please consider trimming this to the copy you'd like reviewed? Thanks. j⚛e deckertalk 13:09, 13 May 2013 (UTC) Apologies - as Wikipedia is now so much more complicated than the last time I tried to create an entry, I am lost. I'm afraid help files only baffling me more. Didn't realise page had been attempted in creation before, so suddenly I have other versions above mine own. The last here is the most recent of this journalist who had one of the three greatest scoops of last century. Don'tt feel confident about deleting it myself.
