Does "involved in the Bloody Sunday massacre of Irish Catholics" mean that he was actually involved in the massacre? or that he had a position of responsibility in Ireland when it happened? facts are always appreciated in wiki entries.User:Wetman
- Isn't the phrase "Bloody Sunday massacre of Irish Catholics" slightly POV and a bit off-topic ?

Nickname
Hello, the nickname is "Darth Vader" ??? 85.179.228.27 (talk) 02:07, 2 December 2008 (UTC)
Also, "Jacko", and the "King of Pop", the latter is ostensibly a slight to the Prince of Wales, who is but a commoner in the realm of music. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.79.131.210 (talk) 21:12, 19 August 2009 (UTC)
The Biographical Dates Don't Add Up
I know nothing about this guy, but it says he was born in 1944 ...was commissioned ... in 1963 as a second lieutenant at the age of nineteen, having gained a degree in Russian studies from the University of Birmingham. Later it says he: had decided he wanted to be a soldier at the age of 15. After his secondary education and Sandhurst he went on to the University of Birmingham to read Russian Studies before returning to full time soldiering. Sandhurst AND university all done by 19? Precocious young man. But then it says: Jackson married while in university in 1966. ...hang on, I thought he finished university in 1963. This all sounds wrong.--JO 24 (talk) 18:58, 7 June 2010 (UTC)
- The article needs some work, I'll give you that. I got half way through a major overhaul and got sidetracked. I believe (from memory) that he decided at the age of 15 he wanted be a soldier, he joined a few years later and the Army put him through uni. It should probably be tidied up a bit.
