I've tried to enrich the section on Israel by adding some information. It still needs more work, though. There's a paragraph there about Obama's election victory that doesn't belong under an Israel heading. And the details relating to Corrigan's participation in the Gaza flotilla need to be updated and worded better. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 132.64.188.14 ( talk) 12:33, 1 July 2010 (UTC)
I'm the same editor as before. I've expanded the Israel section some more, including details relating to the latest incident of Corrigan's detention in Israel after being refused an entry visa. It might be a good idea to include one of those CURRENT EVENT headlines at the top of the page until that situation is resolved. I also removed the following text about Barack Obama from the section on Israel:

I'm considering changing the first paragraph of the article: it seems to me that labeling Corrigan a peace activist represents a point of view and doesn't accurately reflect objective reality. However, I'd prefer to receive input from other editors before making that change. Basically, a peace activist is supposed to be a person who is committed to nonviolent activism. Yet Corrigan's participation in a number of violent protests, both in the US and in Israel, along with her warm ties to Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh, suggest that Corrigan doesn't really deserve to have the title peace activist conferred on her. Perhaps the edit could take the direction of something like "Ireland peace activist," to stress that Corrigan's commitment to nonviolence applied to her days as an activist on behalf of a peaceful resolution to the conflict in Northern Ireland. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 132.64.208.150 ( talk) 11:37, 29 December 2010 (UTC)
I've removed the 'In May 2009, following a visit to Guatemala..etc' for now as the sourcing doesn't look great. blogs.houstonpress.com/hairballs/2009/05/mairead_maguire_customs.php is a blog..obviously...and I'm not sure it complies with WP:BLPSPS. www.freegaza.org doesn't look good enough for a BLP either.

Having rewritten the United Stated section over the weekend, and done considerable work on the page in general lately, it seems to me that virtually every news source out there refers to Mairead as "Mairead Maguire" and not "Mairead Corrigan." This is also, as far as I can tell, how she signs her own letters. Shouldn't we change the title to reflect this reality? 132.64.188.15 ( talk) 09:37, 31 January 2011 (UTC)
If you look through the History back to around May 2007, there was stuff on the page about the controversy surrounding the decision to keep the prize money, and there was also stuff about whether or not the People People really affected the situation in NI and whether they were worthy of the Nobel Prize. Back then there were no sources for anything, so it's understandable that it was removed over the years. This time, though, I think there're valid sources out there to warrant an expanded criticism section. 132.64.188.40 ( talk) 11:36, 3 February 2011 (UTC)

Mairead Corrigan → Mairead Maguire — 1. "Mairead Corrigan" is outdated. Few if any news sources still report events using that name. What is ubiquitous - and has been for years now - is "Mairead Maguire." ("Mairead Corrigan Maguire" is also relatively less common.) 2. Furthermore, two reliable sources explicitly note that Mairead changed her name following her marriage to her brother-in-law Jackie Maguire. (See references in infobox after name.) 3. And finally, a Google search for ["Mairead Corrigan" -wikipedia -"corrigan maguire"] yields 175,000 results, whereas a search for ["Mairead Maguire" -wikipedia] returns 335,000 results. 132.64.188.17 ( talk) 08:17, 7 February 2011 (UTC)
Help from other editors in these areas would be very helpful.
Regarding edits by ip 89.168.120.72: After a quick search, I have found no reliable research indicating that sanctions against Iraq caused fewer that "hundreds of thousands of civilian deaths." If anyone has this research, please bring it forward. I have found quite a few estimates of reliable research showing that the sanctions did cause "hundreds of thousands of civilian deaths."
I believe all civilian deaths are excess. I have not looked up the laws, but imagine the geneva conventions on war also defines causing civilian deaths during war as criminal. Dkreisst ( talk) 18:56, 6 September 2012 (UTC)
