Blanking text

Your first edit on WS, Jamie, involves blanking text on Bankole Timothy's biography. What is your interest in this subject?--Patrick Haseldine (talk) 19:28, 21 March 2016 (GMT)

You say Jamie you've "just returned from Sierra Leone, SA, and London and conducted a series of interviews there and found this [text on Bankole Timothy's biography] is baseless". As someone who spent 5 years in Sierra Leone, was on the South Africa desk in the FCO and authored this biography of Bankole Timothy, I believe you have a De Beers connexion. Am I right?--Patrick Haseldine (talk) 20:05, 21 March 2016 (GMT)
Hi Patrick. You are mistaken here. I have no association with DeBeers or anything like that. Simply, is it your honest opinion today that this was the case? JamieRDornan (talk) 20:51, 21 March 2016 (GMT)
I rely upon renowned Swedish journalist Jan-Olof Bengtsson for this well-referenced report on Bankole Timothy. Could you please tell us who you interviewed in Sierra Leone, in South Africa and in London; what did they say about Bankole Timothy and the meeting with Bernt Carlsson on 21 December 1988; and, how exactly do you come to the conclusion that Bengtsson's report is "baseless"?--Patrick Haseldine (talk) 21:51, 21 March 2016 (GMT)
