Hi Dan, I don't know the current TFA guideline but he was only known to the public as Bobby, so we should either work that into his full name or else drop the full name (incidentally freeing up several characters) and say Bobby Gibbes. Will look at the rest of the blurb now... Cheers, Ian Rose (talk) 10:19, 18 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, didn't realise at first that I was looking at a straight copy of the current lead, so went ahead with "Bobby Gibbes" anyway. I could shave another 15 characters very easily, if you need more I'd have to think a bit bit but it could be done. Cheers, Ian Rose (talk) 11:04, 18 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thx Ian, we're at 1085 characters now, can it get below 1025? - Dank (push to talk) 12:19, 18 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
