OR and source misuse
User:Gob Lofa, where in the source you added does it state that Reavey took out the case? I don't see any mention of that in the source. Secondly your presenting speculation as fact in regards to UDR involvement. Care to clarify? Mabuska (talk) 20:54, 9 August 2015 (UTC)
Detailed claims
Barry McElduff incident
I reverted the mention of this incident because I believe it is WP:UNDUE to have a section on this 2018 political incident on the article of a massacre from 4 decades ago. The appropriate article for this content is Barry McElduff, where it is a significant part of the subject's biography. I see someone else has restored it, so I'm trying to get some comments here. — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 14:58, 22 January 2018 (UTC)
Name
Hello, I believe the locality in question is called "Kingsmills" – not "Kingsmill". The place is a minor name – a sort of crossroads – and not even a townland. The monument mentions "Kingsmill", but that's because its located on the 'Kingsmill Road'. However, the BBC has always referred to the killings as the "Kingsmills Massacre". Further, and I think more key, the local school and Presbyterian church are named "Kingsmills". Just a few thoughts. Regards, Billsmith60 (talk) 15:50, 30 August 2022 (UTC)
Inquest
An inquest into these killings has been published. This refutes a lot of the content posted in this article, thus the whole article would need reviewing. The inquest calls out "conspiratorial theorising" as to the role of the informers and the British.
I have added some bits, but to be honest the whole wiki article would need reviewing. There is a lot of fluff here that doesn't belong. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jdaly81 (talk • contribs) 21:18, 12 April 2024 (UTC)
