It seems that chunks of this article have been copied verbatim from the Guardian's article http://www.guardian.co.uk/jilldando/story/0,7369,515874,00.html , also linked from the article. Copyright violation? Zindon 07:16, 5 September 2006 (UTC)
- lack of citation in the text body I think (Guardian is clearly a source in External Links). Not my article, but was one of the last to have a go at it (and before discovering the neatness of footnotes, I think). Open to anyone to fix Zindon :)
- Edit: unless you mean Guardian shouldn't be linked to at all(?). If you think about it, Wikipedia would not be possible without links to news media.Hakluyt bean 16:35, 5 September 2006 (UTC)
Interest in celebrity I don't believe that this is is a good section. "He showed in interest in Princess Diana and Prince Charles". Who didn't? Perhaps this should be renamed something like "Adopted Celebrity Names".Whirlwindx 15:41, 20 June 2007 (UTC)

"... which made him an easy target for a police force that was desperate to pin Jill Dando's murder on to somebody. "
This is not exactly a neutral pov. 81.130.114.232 10:36, 22 August 2007 (UTC)
I removed the photo because it is quite obviously fake. The original picture George's face was taken from can be seen here: http://newsimg.bbc.co.uk/media/images/42039000/jpg/_42039044_george_203b.jpg FlyingToaster
[edit] "Real" name
I always found it strange that although he had been reported to have changed his name by deed poll to Barry Bulsara,[1][2][3] he was always still referred to as Barry George. If someone changes their name by deed poll, the new name is their legal name. Was this name change later found to be 'unofficial'? Just wondered - the name change isn't really mentioned in the article.--Michig (talk) 13:52, 27 December 2007 (UTC)
- Interesting point. Given that the party to the court proceedings has always been "George" rather than "Bulsara" we can probably infer that there was no deed poll, and this was misreported. LeContexte (talk) 13:14, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
- FYI "Barry Bulsara" redirects here. just in case anyone searches on that name. --Rodhullandemu (Talk) 15:10, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Attempted Rape
George was convicted of attempted rape in 1982. (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/1407284.stm) IMO, this is relevant to the article but chronologically it should go into "eccentric" behaviour. Any thoughts on a better section title? Robertcornell68 (talk) 17:11, 18 April 2008 (UTC)
