you removed pertinent information (perhaps the list of film achievements of Ken Loach could be shortened!), but when a new individual is added to the subhead "support" ("supporters" IMHO would be a better choice)--
it is pertinent to remark on germane connections between the two principals. It seems obviously relevant to indicate some nodding acquaintance with what distinguishes one's supporters, one's notable advocates. It's rather the point to having the list--"supporters."
One doesn't try to cite Facebook, for instance, so as to catch great reflected glory! Why? Everyone and their dawgs are Notables in that forum! SO
in a world of real political and social affairs, -- there's no useful purpose served in adding my name that would merely add clutter to a valuable Assange wiki webpage!
Anyone can frivolously generate a "list of supporters" . . . of no particular significance . . . BUT
Loach is a recipient of many awards; he is honored in recognition of a legacy-- of refined and ethical, informed film productions, that demonstrate his thoughtful and abiding attention to, and understanding of, political and social issues. Ken Loach did earn his distinction, by his actions!
Not accidentally, and the reason i added Loach to the Assange Support list, is Loach's lifelong thematic preoccupations, that articulate political and social issues that are precisely at the heart of Assange's enterprise. Loach's work, in films, bears directly upon the objectives and aspirations Assange has defined, as being WikiLeak's raison d'etre.
Further, in your cavalier snipping of the Loach entry as i wrote it, you replace it with a version that is actually simply incorrect. Loach did not, as your revision reads, actually provide any surety, he only offered it, as did several others at the time--the asking bail was many times 20K pounds.
I am following the facts and developing history of this travesty of justice (alright, that is my own phrasing, not to be arbitrated on Assange wiki webpage!). It galls me when the apparent helpful efforts to shorten my entry result in something incorrect, and further, the introduced inaccuracy could have been avoided, had the editor been informed in details.
Such casual approach to forwarding edits, as fact, lead to any number of opionionated or ideologically driven verbiage, cloaked as unimpeachable fact. but these details, if inaccurate, do add up.
I beg you be constructive and accurate in your alterations to my conscientious efforts. you are welcome to reply to me. I would look forward to a dialog, on these few points, rather than being overbearing and snitty, myself. Hispanosuiza ( talk) 15:26, 6 January 2011 (UTC) hispanosuiza.

i intend to restore this edit, that i provide you (formatted, & slightly revised) pasted here below:
Ken Loach, director of films notable for their social realism and markedly political themes, movies consistently of topical importance (specially pertinent films include: Sweet Sixteen, Cathy Come Home, considerations of “homelessness”; Riff-Raff, the issue of “labour rights”; Bread and Roses, about exploitation of immigrant labourers; and The Wind That Shakes the Barley set during two events in modern history, the Irish War of Independence and the Irish Civil war). Offering his contribution of £20,000 as surety for Assange’s bail, [1] Loach observed,
Ken Loach, and certain films, and themes.
i would like to air this out, to discuss this in detail. you must know this from the detailed account in my remarks to you. but where is that "discussion" forum, that page where i can actually "chat" on this entry i want to see preserved?
i'm new to the many corridors of discussions, and talks, on wikipedia,so i don't know efficiently where to open this topic, nor do i know where to look to find a response from you, about this very note i am sending now.
another versionof my views, thati will copy here, reaffirms what i do believe, and want to be persuaded is contrary to wikipedia protocols or etiquette, before i shall concede that my citation is "just not relevant"! back to me? Hispanosuiza ( talk) 17:08, 6 January 2011 (UTC) hispanosuiza

Hi Errant, in this Guantanamo sector there seems to be a lot of fair use claims as the subjects are often in jail but the rationales appear weak to me, this guy was 32 before he was arrested and the picture is claimed to be a quarter but on viewing it is an AP pic and the pic is a composite of four pictures and all the pic of the subject is published here. original - article the file here. I took it out but the user just replaced it without comment, what do you think? To me its failing portion and the aspect that the value to the owner will be reduced through out long term publication and it is actually replaceable but we just haven't got one? I am considering either, Wikipedia:Non-free content review or taking it of my watchlist, thoughts?
As for the other three people in the pic - Osama_bin_Laden no pic, Ramzi Binalshibh PD gov work, and this one Mohammed Atta is funny although AP are claiming the whole pic, they are not specific as this one is a picture of the guys driving licence which has been up for deletion at commons since September and is a claimed PD, anyways the actual picture in question is the fair use rationalle for Slahi, because the article is on no ones watch list there is little assessment of the pic - I imagine the reason for not using the BinLaden pic is the same reason there is no rationale for this one also - if this one is a correct rationale then we could also use the Bim Laden pic. - basically its - replaceable - he was walking round a free man until he was 32 - yes.

Hi Tom. In the past you've expressed significant concern about applying Jewish ethnicity/religion categories to articles, citing WP:BLP as the issue. A similar issue has arisen at Esther Shapira; it has also been raised here on BLP/N. Perhaps you'd like to look at it? Thanks. Jayjg (talk) 20:27, 27 January 2011 (UTC)
