A noteworthy incident edit

Burntollet is quite a noteworthy incident in the civil rights movement. It was widely reported and documented. The RUC were clearly guilty of dereliction of duty, if not of outright criminality. It somewhat made the marchers point that civil rights were in dire need. I do not believe this article merited deletion.--ZincBelief (talk) 13:33, 2 February 2009 (UTC)Reply

A quick web search turned up a variety of what I beleive to be reliable sources, one appears to be live news coverage. Amusingly one is from a tourist website! http://cain.ulst.ac.uk/events/pdmarch/sum.htm http://cain.ulst.ac.uk/events/pdmarch/egan7.htm#attack

I think these should be more than enough to expand the article. I am still perplexed as to why this was deleted. It's like getting rid of an article on Rosa Parks --ZincBelief (talk) 10:40, 4 February 2009 (UTC)Reply

There is also a Book investigating the incident called "Burntollet" by one Egan Bowes from August 1969 - but it is quite hard to get your hands on a copy — Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.37.93.125 (talk) 15:25, 23 April 2012 (UTC)Reply
