Reads like a CV[edit]

This article is to slick - reads like a CV in all prob written by M16 officials. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.74.242.65 (talk) 23:53, 16 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The first version was very close to the FCO UN Bio [1]. so it is indeed close to the official version. Problem is there do not seem to be that many other sources of info on him. Recent newspaper articles also seem close to the FCO Bio's. I possibly did not help getting away from official-ese by bringing in his official FCO timeline, but that seemed perhaps more objective than the FCO Bio gloss so seemed worthwhile.

I have rewritten it in date order. I hope it now reads more like a biography and less like a CV.Dormskirk (talk) 22:59, 25 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
