[edit] Rape Claim?!!

Where in God's name is the foundation for this?? There is only one incredibly biased source to support it - surely this provides ample scope for libel? Megawattbulbman 11:57, 7 May 2006 (UTC)

• It definitely provides ample scope for libel against George Smith, but it is a verifiable fact that George Smith made the allegation, so it can remain here.Jdcooper 13:19, 7 May 2006 (UTC)
• On review, I see what you mean, I have added another source, hope this clears things up. Jdcooper 13:28, 7 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Cleanup tag

I added this because to my eyes the article is really rather a mess. It starts badly with those silly quotes around "close personal friend". That just makes it look "nudge, nudge, wink, wink" which is totally out of place in an encyclopedia. Then we get "Prince Charles of Great Britain", which is simply inaccurate. Another problem is "...after the report by Sir Michael Peat..." - that wording (the report) implies that everyone who reads the article is bound to know which report is meant. The passage dealing with Smith's death is not NPOV. And so on and so forth. I did try to clean up the article myself, but I really wasn't sure how to do it, so I've just left the tag there in the hope of attracting others who might make a better job of it than me.
