TODO:

• Need to work on the prose here. Look at the first paragraph: way too many instances of "he was." That paragraph could just as well be turned into a list of events by replacing each "he was" with a bullet.

[edit] Just checking

"He was born in Wolverhampton to an Irish Protestant family"
Is this correct? I know that coincidences do happen, but this could so easily be confused with Billy Wright (footballer) who played for Wolverhampton Wanderers. Please could someone confirm the information about this Wright is right.

This seems pretty authoritative:

Billy Wright was born in July 1960 in Wolverhampton, England. He was the only son in a family of five children. While he was still a youngster he returned to Northern Ireland with his family. In 1975, when he was just 15, he was arrested by the Royal Ulster Constabulary (RUC). Some time later, he was sentenced to six and a half years to be served in the Young Persons Wing of the Maze Prison. In October 1982, after serving three and a half years, he was released.

[edit] Successful Actions against the IRA?

Where is the sources and facts? Just saying it happened isn't really proof that it actually did, this statment contradicts the statment on the LVF page that the LVF have only killed catholic civilians and other loyalists, with the exception of on ex-IRA member the night Wright was executed.

[edit] Killed

Consensus says killed not murdered. One Night In Hackney₃₀₃ 18:34, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

Wasn't the outcome that if someone was convicted of murder then we state "murdered" rather than "killed"? Stu ^{’Bout ye!} 08:11, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

We state "x was convicted of murder". One Night In Hackney₃₀₃ 08:43, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
