It was well known that his full name was Padraic Pearse McGuinness, and that his friends called him "Paddy", but nevertheless his byline was always just plain "P. P. McGuinness". He was never known as "Padraic McGuinness". If anyone took the trouble to spell out his name, they'd call him "Padraic Pearse McGuinness", not just "Padraic McGuinness".
Everyone knows that J. D. Salinger's full name is Jerome David Salinger, but his article is still "J. D. Salinger". Lots of similar examples.
I therefore propose this article be moved to "P. P. McGuinness". -- JackofOz ( talk) 19:42, 30 January 2008 (UTC)
In Sydney Push circles, it was well known that Paddy had been a member of the Communist Party of Australia from about age 14, as was his sister Judy who still lives to confirm the fact. This may well have had potential for embarrassment among his later silvertail career associations, and is perhaps carefully not mentioned in Damien Murphy's eloquent little obituary, but there are no grounds for writing that he was "never a communist", so I have removed that furphy from the article. Paddy once recounted an amusing little yarn about his interview in London for a job as economist for the Moscow Narodny Bank in London. When one of the bank's seniors asked for an opinion of the CPA, Paddy retorted that they were a bunch of f**wits. The red apparatchik confirmed that he and his colleagues had long held the same opinion. Paddy got the job and never looked back towards the left! Cheers, Bjenks ( talk) 04:19, 23 October 2010 (UTC)
Bit strong don't you think? Surely there is a less POVish word like "described"? Tigerman2005 ( talk) 23:29, 13 March 2012 (UTC)
I've heard around the traps that Ted Wheelwright sued Padraic McGuinness. I've not been able to find any references to cases on Government websites. Maybe it was settled out of court. If it were true, it seems an interesting part of McGuinness' life - anyone know anything ? JohnAugust ( talk) 22:55, 18 December 2012 (UTC)

"Parnell" is after Charles Parnell, the great Irish politician who fought for home rule. I am guessing that "Palme" is after Olof Palme, the great Swedish Social Democrat who, after he became prime minister was assassinated. I have yet to verify this but place this note for all to see.
