Andy Townshend and Mike Parry on TalkSport have just named the QPR player who died in a car crash last night as Ray Jones. Mandonkey 10:26, 25 August 2007 (UTC)
This would seem to be the case - http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/q/qpr/6963546.stm
Give the lad some respect surley we should mourn his death after the day he died. Why do you think QPR abadoned their game today? It seems a little heartless. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.54.35.207 ( talk) 15:52, August 25, 2007 (UTC)
Is there a more specific location? Using "Newham" (the borough) and "East Ham" (within Newham) as they currently are in the infobox looks confusing. Timrollpickering 11:14, 25 August 2007 (UTC)
Surely this is St Mary Magdalene CofE church? WillE ( talk) 17:48, 19 December 2010 (UTC)

Drive-by comment from Noswall59 Hi, I just noticed that one of Jones's middle names in the article is Bankote, which is supported by an entry in the PFA Who's Who; the probate records call it Bankole, so I wonder whether you should double-check the PFA reference. Cheers, — Noswall59 ( talk) 21:35, 20 April 2016 (UTC).
Mattythewhite: Do you still have the reference to double-check this? Thanks in advance. '''tAD''' ( talk) 23:22, 20 April 2016 (UTC)
An online edition of Hugman's says Bankote. A google search for the spelling mainly yields Wikipedia and websites likely to be mirrors. The search for the name with Bankole yields no references to the subject, but it does provide evidence that the name does exist and is fairly common among people of Nigerian origin. '''tAD''' ( talk) 23:27, 20 April 2016 (UTC)
Bankole also seems to be a common name in Sierra Leone, and as in the case of Carlton Cole, there are precedents for people of such origin to have several names, some African and some British. '''tAD''' ( talk) 23:31, 20 April 2016 (UTC)
Not a bad article. The only things that need doing now are to merge the lead into two paragraphs (recommended) and archive all of the dead links if possible. The comments about prose were minor. Shame about his death, I'm sure he would have become a great player for England. JAG UAR 14:49, 21 April 2016 (UTC)
