PS - please take a look at the talk page.  I refer to J. Bowyer Bell as ""IRA historian""....   ONIH gives me grief for this, asking, sarcastically, ""I'll make it simple - what makes Bell an ""IRA historian"" and Taylor a ""journalist""? One Night In Hackney303 .""  

But, take a look at the Wikipedia entry for J. Bowyer Bell.  It appears that ONIH created the page, and there are many edits attributed to ONIH in the history.  The entry includes, ""The Troubles began in Northern Ireland in 1969, and Bell's The Secret Army: the IRA 1916-1970 was published the following year, and was one of the first detailed histories of the IRA along with The IRA by Tim Pat Coogan which was also published in 1970.[3]""  So, ONIH refers to Bell as the author of a detailed history of the IRA. His question was baiting me and then he runs to get me blocked.   "
